I wanted to like Printavo, but every time I try it im hit with another reason it don't work for me.

That was my exact take on Printavo.
Homer is exactly right on Shopvox/Signvox. I swear no one there thinks in a linear fashion.
Teesom needs to improve scheduling, I would agree. They just upgraded their order module so I can order shirts from any vendor that carries them rather than the catalog I quoted from. That has been a HUGE help with the shirt shortages. My understanding is they are working on UPS/Fedex integration now...which will also be a big one for us.

For examples client "A" wants 1000 shirts printed and folded but we need to do this on different dates. If our project managers are slammed and forget to reassign the folding, that causes some major issues in our timelines and the calendar is a major portion in what system we use. Out of the choices in the previously replies, does anyone have any success in multiple scheduling for one PO?

I call these "Production Groups" and they are key to successful scheduling in any shop that might take in 500 shirts and then screen print, sew, tagless label, fold, bag, tag, label, etc. before sending back out the door. Everyone that is doing more than one thing to the product they receive is working in Production Groups, whether they know it or not.
Sadly, this concept is absent from nearly every app that I've trialed. Inksoft does now have them in their production module but, like any of the apps, it's missing some basics on the production side. To be fair, it is a challenge to create a gui that will successfully visualize this to humans but I think it's one that can be met...or perhaps we don't need to successfully visualize all these Production Groups at this point because any robust software utilizing them could take great advantage of even rudimentary AI and machine learning to do the heavy lifting and then distill it down into a simplified visual for humans.

the biggest issue with all of these softwares, is that textile screen printing, quite frankly, just doesn't really generate enough money to really dive into these areas.
Printavo in my opinion seems to be the most forward thinking of them all, but even they'll agree they are missing some really key and crucial components. I have seen the roadmap, and it is being worked on though.
In the past 6 months i've begun implementing Shopworks, and Impress, and i gotta say, i was super unimpressed with both, and am actively looking for another solution.
GraphicDisorder:
When someone properly figures out how to be Monday.com, Flock/Slack, and Fast Manager/Teesom/Printavo all in one........ They gonna own it all.
GoWestRob:
Monday.com + Google Calendar integration + Quickbooks works out fantastic for us. Dive deep into all of the features of Monday.com and you can structure it the best for your shop.
