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 actually would not like that and probably would not sign up for it if at have a choice. We are close to spending a $1k each month for various subscriptions and that's for non activity based. If we went the other way, we would be spending a lot more.

Just did a zoom with PriceIt and I have to say, it ticks off most of the boxes for us.

It does for a lot of people. My big hang-up years ago was 17 line items for an invoice. Did they fix that?
It's a good program.

I'll let you know soon. We just pulled the trigger with them. Also, they are very interested in the connecting with monday.com concept. They are going to remote in tomorrow to see how we use it.

IMO monday is key, if someone can link those 2 up seemlessly its going to be epic.
