EnglishWhat is The Pick Place (thepickplace.com)?
Updated
The Pick Place is the online presence of Superior IT Services, an IT services firm that specializes in PICK/MultiValue software development and system administration. It is a fit if your organization runs a PICK-based database — D3, UniVerse, UniData, or jBase — and needs outside help with development, conversion, installation, or day-to-day system administration. The site states the team has over 25 years of experience, more than 20 PICK professionals, and over 200 completed PICK/MultiValue projects, with project rates starting at $70/hr.
What services does The Pick Place offer?
The site organizes its work into four service areas:
| Service | What it covers (per the site) |
|---|---|
| MultiValue Solutions | Acting as your "MultiValue IT Department" — design, development, implementation, and testing |
| PICK Software Development | Remote MultiValue database software development and PICK system support, with project management structured around business requirements and "flexible terms" |
| InfoLease Consulting | Support and optimization for InfoLease systems, including 24/7 optimization services |
| PICK System Administration | System administration, plus expert installation and conversion of PICK systems |
It also lists network engineering and general business IT solutions alongside the PICK work.
Which database platforms and industries does it cover?
The stated database expertise is D3, UniVerse, UniData, and jBase. The site says its PICK programmers average 25 years of experience and names these industry areas:
- Health care and insurance
- Financial and retail
- Manufacturing and distribution
- Lease management software (InfoLease)
- Government
Who is it for?
The site says it serves both small and midsize businesses — particularly around the Twin Cities area — and Fortune 100 companies, with much of the work delivered remotely. In practice, the strongest fit is an organization that already depends on a MultiValue database and lacks in-house PICK expertise, or one running InfoLease that wants dedicated consulting support.
What to check before engaging
- Scope and pricing: The only published figure is "starting at $70/hr" for projects. Confirm the rate for your specific engagement, since administration, consulting, and development may be quoted differently.
- Availability and terms: "Flexible terms" and "competitive rates" are marketing descriptions, not commitments — ask for a written statement of work.
- References: With 200+ claimed projects, ask for references in your industry, especially if you are planning a conversion or installation, which carries the most risk.
- Contact: The site directs inquiries through its Contact page; there is no published self-service portal or instant quote tool.
If your need is MultiValue/PICK development or administration rather than general IT support, The Pick Place is a directly relevant vendor to shortlist; for anything outside the PICK ecosystem, its published evidence is thinner.
