dynaMACS vs. Minecart
A dynaMACS alternative, before your data gets moved for you.
dynaMACS is commission accounting for rep agencies, and it's good at it. Its owner, Repfabric, now publishes the steps for exporting your data into Repfabric. Before you take that path, decide the field side on purpose: how reps capture a six-line visit, and how the monthly principal report gets made. Minecart does both. Commissions stay wherever you choose.

The same visit, two ways.
After the visit
dynaMACS
Nothing gets captured.
dynaMACS Mobile shows the rep their numbers. What the rep learned at the shop isn't recorded anywhere.
Minecart
One note.
The rep talks for a minute in the truck. Minecart sorts what was said to each line and files the touch against every principal mentioned.
End of the month
dynaMACS
Sales history.
A principal gets commission and sales history by manufacturer. Coverage, objections, and sample requests come from memory.
Minecart
A generated report.
Report Studio drafts a report per principal: accounts touched, what came up, what's open, and where the opportunities are. You review and send.
Commissions
dynaMACS
The core of the product.
Splits, sub-rep payouts, decades of history. This is what dynaMACS is for.
Minecart
Left where you choose.
Keep dynaMACS as long as it runs, or move commissions to your accountant's tool. Minecart doesn't touch the ledger.
The next version
dynaMACS
A migration to Repfabric.
Repfabric owns dynaMACS and publishes the export steps. That's the default path.
Minecart
A migration you chose.
Start from your account and contact list. If you later move commissions, nothing on the field side moves again.

What dynaMACS does well.
- Commission math agencies have trusted for decades.
- Rank a manufacturer, a customer, or a rep in seconds.
- Nothing to administer. It does the job and stays out of the way.
When dynaMACS alone is enough
- Commissions are the whole job, and principals accept sales history as the report.
- Your reps are two people in the office who already tell you everything.
- You'll follow the vendor into Repfabric and want to do it once.
Where it stops.
01
A desktop program, with remote access bolted on.
Cloud means a hosted copy opened through a desktop icon. A rep in the field is not opening dynaMACS.
02
Data leaves as files, and nothing connects live.
No API. Mailing lists and month-by-month sales history export as files, which is also how Repfabric documents leaving.
03
No reviews, no public roadmap.
Nothing on the major review sites, and two ownership changes since 2017 with no published plan for the product.
What Minecart does instead
- Keep dynaMACS for commissions as long as it runs.
- One voice note per visit, sorted to every line mentioned. Reps stop writing anything.
- Report Studio drafts the monthly report for each principal from those notes. You edit, then send.
dynaMACS holds the ledger. Minecart drafts the report that keeps the line.

Questions people ask before they switch.
- Is dynaMACS still supported?
- dynamacs.com is live and the product is still sold as of September 2026. It has been owned by Empowering Systems since 2017 and by Repfabric since May 2024. Ask for the roadmap in writing.
- Is dynaMACS the same as Microsoft Dynamics?
- No. dynaMACS is MACS Software's rep-agency commission product. Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a general business CRM and ERP. People searching for Dynamax usually mean dynaMACS.
- Do I have to move to Repfabric?
- Nobody can make you, but Repfabric owns the product and publishes the export steps, so that's the default path. Compare destinations before you take the default.
- Can Minecart import dynaMACS data?
- We begin from your account and contact list, which dynaMACS exports as a file. Commission history stays in whatever accounting tool you keep.
