In 1978, Paul Farmer and his father decided to computerize their businesses. Paul had owned a coffee service company in Wichita KS since 1969 and his father, Paul Sr. had owned the Roto-Rooter franchise in Wichita since 1960. Jane Jantz (Paul's sister) was teaching computer technology at Wichita State University and programming at NCR. She decided to "retire" and raise a family. Back then, one couldn't buy very many computer programs, so she agreed to write the software for the two healthy and growing businesses.

“In 2001, we started hosting the application because some of the franchises were having problems with local computer techs and lost data because of improper backup procedures and dishonest employees,” said Paul Farmer, CEO and co-founder of Famhost.

In January 18, 2002 Mgmt TV Inc. dba Famhost was incorporated in the state of Kansas. It became the hosting vehicle to run the JaRay program. Since then Oaul farmer has added Linkwriter (wireless digital pen), GPS Cop (vehicle tracking and maintenance), and BizYak (corporate communications, caller-id, and call recording). Famhost’s clients include most major Roto-Rooter franchises, but it also serve other franchise systems, plumbing, hvac, health insurance, home health-care, transportation, and a myriad of other service businesses.
