Frog:
Well?

tonypep:
OK Frog I'll play. We're old school but pretty effificient. Magnet boards and three part work orders.
I occaisionally do overflow for T-Formation. When they came to visit we spent some time reviewing their scheduling system which is Shopworks. I've used it before but man they took it to a seriously awesome new level. Really impressive.

Excel.

We have Shopworks and don't use it to it's full potential.  We also are old school in that some sales staff handwrites the work orders instead of just entering the info directly into Shopworks.  I have a copy of the work order for every single screen print job on my desk organized by the date they are due so I know exactly what our production schedule looks like.  If that stack is light and only has 15 sheets of paper, I know we aren't that busy, and when that stack is 40 sheets deep, we are running full out on turnaround times and I'll have to be outside in the shop getting my hands dirty.  I think we'd be fine on the screen printing side with little to no technology to help us stay organized, but the embroidery side is not ran near as efficiently and they aren't as organized as we are over here.

Mockup approved/deposited gets printed goes to "order blanks" stack.

Ordered blanks stack goes to "needs screens" stack.

Needs screens stack goes to "receiving" then "production" then
"shipping" then "invoicing.


One work order the whole way through.


Quickbooks for invoicing.


Currently working on a database to take the paper out of the equation
and to automate things I habitually mess up like ordering blanks and
whatnot.


Right now I use it for estimating and it's freaking awesome for that.
Screenshots of the backend and what the client is emailed in a PDF is
attached.
