Pricing software

OI was talking to someone a couple weeks ago that said he was really happy with the latest version of IMPRESS.

I just got an email about it.  I went to their site, but it didn't have a lot of info on it.

looked into it and was ready to try it out when suddenly the price went up $3K. Needles to say, we did not try it. . .

we are maybe 5 years with Shopworx still a love/HATE relationship, the platform does what it needs to do. Still blows my mind how much $ i have in this and how un user friendly it is.

short answer is they ALL suck...period. You just find the one that sucks the least and make a bunch of work arounds. I'd pay 6 unicorn furs for a halfway decent program....I've tried every one I could get my hands on for the past two solid years and none of them would fit our needs, not even slightly... When Brad gets his thumb out of his bumb maybe we stand a chance of getting a decent program...

Hi, thank you for all the useful posts on shop management SW. Is anyone using the Hubspot CRM and the cloud based parts of PriceIt?  I have been procrastinating between going with PriceIt versus Fastmanager.  Does anyone have recent advice between the two of them? I have a small screenprinting shop with one auto and 3 manuals.

Impress makes me want to kill myself daily.  Do not recommend.

Could you please expand a little bit on why it makes you want to kill yourself daily. I don't need long detail, just top three reasons if you don't mind. I am in the process of looking at new software and am looking into Impress Global.

my guess is that both impress and shopworks are the most unintuitive pieces of software ever written

I can see how both Showorks and Impress are unintuitive.

I am using Fastmanager right now and I feel I have reached its limitations. So trying to explore whats out there that is a little more indepth. To me choosing a software program is the hardest to do. Not enough unbiased real time info and some of these software company website provide the most basic info if that.

does anyone know if shopworks connects with quickbooks, not Quickbooks online?

shopworks is stand alone and does the accounting too. while it's nice not to sync, you lose some of the reporting in the QB which is pretty sophisticated.

We’ve been using FastManager for the past 5 years and I have no idea how we’d run the shop without it.  It’s really under-rated imo.  Yeah, it’s a bit quirky at times, but once you learn your way around, it will do practically anything you need it to do.  It feels like a mini-shopworks to me.   It is very customizable and pricing matrix’s are endless.  We may be grandfathered, but the pricing is dirt cheap compared to these cloud based programs.  They are rolling out a cloud based version called teesome, but we are way too busy to risk a change in shop operating programs right now.  I suppose if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 

Thanks my $0.02

To clarify.  Fast Manger does sync with quick books.  We manage the cost side of the accounting in QB for our P&L  by sync-ing  invoices and payments over from Fastmanger
