About
One call for your technology.
RxTech Systems provides IT services for businesses and healthcare providers. We help people get the right technology and keep it working: on-site across North Alabama, and remotely anywhere in the US.
We sell, build and repair computers, from laptops and desktops to workstations and servers. Managed IT clients get ongoing care for their devices, servers, networks, backups and security. We set up and support Microsoft 365, design, build and host websites, and build custom software and automation for businesses whose work doesn’t fit off-the-shelf tools.
Healthcare is where a lot of our work started. We build and host websites for a pathology practice, a therapy group, a home medical equipment supplier and a hospice, and we’re developing DMERx, software for HME/DME suppliers, alongside one of them.
We also build our own products: Omni Inventory Systems for keeping track of what you own, and GooglyMonster for selling it.
RxTech was founded by Larry “Rex” Robinson, who has worked in IT since 1998. One project sums up how he works. A company had spent more than a million dollars on an application for mobile devices and was about to scrap it and go back to paper orders: updating the database on each device took so long that the updates kept timing out. Rex quickly redesigned it. Instead of sending each device thousands of small updates, he built the whole database on the server, compressed it and sent it to each device in one download. The timeouts stopped, and the whole project was saved.
That’s what you can expect from us: we find the real cause of a problem and fix it in the simplest way that works.
We don’t have sales quotas. Our goal is to help you with exactly what you need, and nothing more.
Fun fact
Where does “Rx” come from?
Ever wondered why prescriptions are marked with “Rx”? The symbol comes from the Latin word recipe, which means “take.” Centuries ago, doctors began their written instructions with this word, telling the patient or apothecary to “take” the ingredients listed below.
To save time, writers shortened recipe to an R and drew a small slash across its tail to show it was an abbreviation, creating the symbol ℞. Over time, as people typed it on keyboards, that slash turned into an “x,” and “Rx” was born.
So the X doesn’t stand for anything on its own. It’s simply what’s left of an old handwriting shortcut. Today, Rx is recognized around the world as the symbol for prescriptions and pharmacies.
At RxTech Systems, we’re proud to carry a name with centuries of history behind it, and we bring that same commitment to care into the technology we build today.
