What we build
Focused tools for real-world workflows.
Ruth Technology concentrates on narrow problems that benefit from purpose-built software: regulated forms, electronic filing formats, detailed calculations, document preparation, and repetitive office work.
Electronic filing tools
Software and services that help prepare government and industry file formats for tax reporting, healthcare claims, and other structured submissions.
Calculators and practical websites
Browser-based tools and focused websites built around a useful task, from financial calculations to specialized business resources.
What we're building now
New ideas, built with the same practical focus.
Two newer Ruth Technology projects extend the portfolio in different directions: one makes everyday calculations easier in the browser, while the other modernizes shipping and export paperwork in a focused Windows application.

Software built around a job, not around a buzzword.
Many Ruth Technology products begin with a recurring requirement that is more complicated than it should be: a government form, an electronic file specification, a financial calculation, or a business document that people need to create correctly again and again. Instead of turning that problem into a large platform, we usually build a focused tool that handles the specific workflow.
That approach has led to products for information-return filing, medical claims, amortization and private lending, legal and professional forms, shipping paperwork, and free online calculators. Some products are traditional Windows applications. Others create electronic files for government or industry systems. Newer projects increasingly combine local software with web-based resources.
RuthTechnology.com is the corporate home for those projects. The individual product sites remain the best place to learn about a specific application, while this site explains the company, the portfolio, and the person behind the work.
