Flying Colors:
We use Shopworks here and I can answer the questions you have. Are there any questions you have for any particular parts of the software?
Our overall view on the software is it fits us perfectly. We are a 100% contract shop so I think it is easier to please us than other decorators, but there is not a part of the software that we use we are not happy with.
The areas we saw the greatest increase in efficiency was customer service, production scheduling/management, S&R, and accounting.
Again, let me know specific areas you have questions on and I can expand on those areas or ones that I mentioned.
Feel free to call or email.

Thanks again for all the great responses guys! We talked about it on Thursday and did the cost add up for it all and we figure for that price we could use a new press instead of software, not that that's gonna happen right away either but $15K for software!!! It does sound like it would e a perfect fit for our shop and help streamline a lot of processes but just too deep for our pockets right now....
Any other comparable software with an easier price tag?

we're very happy with TeeCal. It interfaces with QuickBooks so we run accounting through QB and shop management through TeeCal. It without a doubt got us doing the right things and it keeps us in check. At this point I can not see us running the shop without it!
I have not tried the other programs so I can't tell you how it compares to them.
The support is top notch! I've sent emails out over the weekend expecting a call back on monday and got a call right away. Ken called as late as 11pm to answer questions. They have even put in few of the suggestions I asked for in the new releases. 'can't really ask for more. I sometimes wonder how they make money with all the service they provide and only charge $70/month for 6 users (problems are rare, one or two per year that are resolved quickly, I keep bugging them asking for more stuff to be added to the program) .

the top 3 would probably be T-quoter, Tee-Cal and Price-it, in no particular order.
I run T-quoter. I amnot 100% happy with it, but for the price, it's dang good. They just upgraded the database format and that should make updates a ton easier. I really want to see an inventory management feature, that would make life a ton easier.

I haven't had time to install fusion/windows on our macs but it looks like we're going to TeeCal as soon as I can. Just need to trial it and make sure it can get it done for us.
I'm surprised at how wonky and buggy a lot of the software for screen print mgmt is and how unconcerned some of the proprietors of the software are when your entire file is down and you cannot access orders. Having your business essentially grind to a halt for lack of access to order and quote information is extremely stressful.
Those three Brad mentioned are the ones that look to be rock solid in both the program and the support without costing $15k. I would like to see programs addressing the fact that most of our clients are more comfortable online v. on paper these days but I'm sure features like that will become standard soon enough.
Fyi, TeeCal does have inventory management and even spits out pick lists when some items are being pulled from inventory.
