About Us

ScubaWare, a product of RetailWare, Inc. was developed using the sophisticated relational database, Advanced Revelation. Windows based functions have been written in Open Insight, also a Revelation Software product, that is the leading front end for Lotus Notes, an IBM product.

As a company, RetailWare, Inc. is committed to the development and support of exceptional software packages for the retail, dive and travel industries. Our philosophy is to design software which provides the foundation for effective management and to furnish our customers with a competitive edge. Our goal is satisfied customers, the source for a successful reseller and referral business.

ScubaWare development began in 1987 at a Boulder, Colorado dive center. The design roots began in a dive center and reflect the needs of today's dive centers.

Considered the leader in dive retail software, ScubaWare was introduced at the 1989 DEMA trade show in Las Vegas. The program records and integrates point-of-sale transactions; customer information; specialty items including classes and trips; store inventory; rentals; repairs; and custom reports. In 1992, a Boat Charter Module was added for retailers who offer charter opportunities.

In 1993, Divers Software, Ltd. acquired ScubaWare. Divers Software evolved four years prior with their initial product names D.I.V.E.R.S. (Destination Information Visually Enhanced Reservation System), a travel reservation program for dive centers written in Advanced Revelation. Today D.I.V.E.R.S. is part of ScubaWare.

In January of 2003 Divers Software merged with RetailWare, Inc.

In addition to the ScubaWare Point-Of-Sale system, RetailWare, Inc. also markets software packages for the general retail industry, dive resort booking offices, dive manufacturers, and dive instructors.
