Yet another managament program thread
whitewater:
we use Monday.com and Price it -(Price it for maybe 8-10 years.)
One reason I like price it. If I need anything I call, and I talk directly to them.

It's true. I've reached out to other co.'s that make wonderful apps for other industries and there's just zero reason for them to touch a market like ours even if it's just adapting their core to it.

Seems so dumb, between the 13+ listed on this thread they all suck and miss the mark when our industry is so simple. Why there can't be one that actually listens to their customer to make what is needed...
I feel like there is so much money to be made with a SAAS that charges small transaction fees at order processing, shipping, ordering blanks, so you don't even feel like you are paying for it could extract a good amount of money without even having to do $78 a month or $750 a month or whatever these things are charging. YTD we have had ~1600 invoices, with ~450 being over 1k, for a good system I would pay $2-3 per invoice over $1000 and $1 under 1000 if it could automate a lot of the processing / invoicing / notifications, ect. Or YTD $2050 just from ordering and in this model I didn't even feel like I was paying as it was a pass through at the time of invoicing, vs ~$1800 we've paid for Impress which is a turd. I'd pay more if it happened at the moment of truth, $50k a year is scary, potentially 50,000 $1 fees for processing a invoice online is not, we succeed so would the software company.
So there is enough business to support 13+ shitty systems, but nobody is interested in just making one good one.
I'm surprised Sanmar or S&S doesn't tackle this project, they could charge a margin to automate ordering through their competitor and make some money rather than no money, and they have developers already that could build something, as well as it would bring more business for themselves if it made it easier. The reason I sell product from S&S the most is because their website is the best, and product shots are the best.
A pay as you go model that the customer is actually covering the cost of the software at the point of payment / shipping / purchasing / could be super profitable, instead we have a bunch of shitty programs that so miss the mark.
Here is another not listed previously - https://hoopscrm.com
apologies my writing is all scattered, I just rage that there is no company that listens to their customers or no developers that are interested in building something simple and functional for decorators that do more than one embellishment per order.

I don't see anything getting us off of quickbooks. There's all of the accounting tools, we do our payroll through there, it allows us to easily deduct our health insurance and retirement plans from paychecks...I don't see how a screenprinting specific system can incorporate all of that powerful stuff that you need to run a business. I think we'll always need two systems here, one for the business-heavy stuff, one for the scheduling.

I agree, QB has waay too much in it so any solution would be inferior to it. Most of the programs sync with it already so there is really no need to reinvent the wheel.
