Our Story
Founded in 1978 in Billings, Montana, Computers Unlimited started with a vision: to create innovative solutions that empower businesses to grow and thrive. As an independent, family-owned company, we’ve spent decades building not just software, but a platform for success. Whether you’re an industrial welding and gas distributor or an HME/DME provider, TIMS® is designed to be the foundation for your business growth.
Our story began with Dr. Michael Schaer, who believed in creating tools that help businesses succeed. That family-first approach continues today under the leadership of his son, David Schaer, who became company president in 2009. David remains deeply committed to supporting our customers’ journeys by offering solutions that don’t just meet their needs but exceed their expectations.
At Computers Unlimited, we’re about more than technology—we’re about people. We’re proud to offer personalized service, unmatched support, and the kind of long-term partnerships that help businesses grow. From the first consultation to ongoing training, implementation, and support, we work side by side with our customers, ensuring they have everything they need to achieve their goals.
Our commitment doesn’t stop there. Every year, we host our Users Group conference, bringing together industry leaders for feedback, training, and connection. Smaller spring gatherings with our Steering Committee ensure we stay in tune with what matters most to our customers. These events allow us to collaborate and shape software features that keep businesses ahead of the curve.
Today, over 170 passionate employees serve more than 12,000 users in 2 vertical markets across North America. Whether it’s through industry-leading innovation or unparalleled customer care, we’re here to provide a platform for your success, because at Computers Unlimited, we believe that when our customers thrive, we all grow together.
