What CT Inc. does

CT Inc. is a privately held computer solutions provider headquartered at 195 W. Broad St., Salunga, Pennsylvania, operating with approximately 10 employees across three departments: hardware sales and service, custom programming, and accounting system sales and training. The company's core product is Novaware, a modular accounting software system with eleven integrated modules covering Time Clock, Payroll, General Ledger, Bank Reconciliation, Delivery System, Accounts Receivable, Job Costing, Accounts Payable, Order Entry, Inventory Control, and Purchase Orders, designed so customers can license only the modules relevant to their business. Novaware is sold on a one-time license basis with one year of free maintenance and support included.

The company's business model spans four revenue streams: (1) hardware sales, service, repairs, networking, and rental/leasing of custom-built computer systems; (2) Novaware accounting software licensing; (3) custom application development professional services using multiple programming languages; and (4) recurring month-to-month web hosting services on Microsoft-based web servers, with no long-term contracts. Distribution is primarily direct and local, with department-specific phone and email contacts (Chuck Robbins for hardware and software, David McElroy for web hosting).

CT Inc. serves small and medium-sized businesses, primarily in Pennsylvania, with a horizontal segmentation approach. Named web hosting clients span diverse industries including legal services, crafts/retail, manufacturing, industrial parts, lighting, publishing, and automotive retail, indicating a long-tail SMB customer base. The company has no external funding, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no disclosed certifications or patents. Its technology stack references legacy Windows and Novell Netware environments, and the company has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.
