Thoughts on Shopworx Software

Ron Pierson.......Do you guys do contract printing giving you those 80-90 jobs a day, or are they smaller orders?

Ron Pierson:
We are a 36 hr "turn-n-burn" shop. Most orders are "smaller". Contract work - it seems - is no longer "10,000 pieces every order - bid to the 1/2 cent". We still have that but it gets in the way of making more money on smaller runs.

patfinn:
We are a 10 person shop. Sales and production. Shop works has helped a ton. Yes it was an investment but it's already paying off and we will be set up for growth. So if your a smaller growing shop don't let the price scare you, it's worth it in the long run because when your at 20 employees it will be much harder, and cost you with problems and training..

I'm curious as to what the key benefits of ShopWorx are. I looked at it a long time ago and was
really impressed, and it's sort of been the basis of the custom Filemaker database I've been developing
for a few years now.

ZooCity:
I have no plans to be a twenty crew shop ever, mo money more problems man.  But yes this program looks excellent.  We wouldn't see the roi on it at that price for our modest goals.  If they could go saas and tier it, thats another story.

The advantage I see is they dedicated hard to the software, it looks complete and stable, and it does have that front end integration as an option.  The front end part is huge in my opinion.  You can manage a shop  with anything but tying it in to the actual selection and order process is where it's at.
