Mike We are just no installing
Fast Manager from U.S. Screen Institute
The Freseners have been in the business forever
and it's quite and impressive program.
They offer a free 30 day full functioning demo.
and if you need more time to figure it out just
call and they'll re-up you for another 30 days
no problem.
Here's a spot to look into it.
http://screenprinters.net/product.php?pid=fastmanager
It's set up to run either Screenprinting or Embroidery or both.
and can be very extensive or very simple. you can use all the features or
just the couple you like, It will invoice as well as schedule, price and
keep a database of design info and order info.
Its around $1000 and additional users run $250 -$300 I think.
Always cheaper if you make arrangements at a show. (Show Specials)
I have been very impressed. and comes with the complete catalogs
for Alpha, Broder , and SanMar to start with. including pricing.
Just an FYI since we are just getting started in it's use,
and don't feel I can give a real testimonial yet.

Steve and Roland,
Do you run any shop software? Thats really what I am in the market
for. The shop I work for is approaching the 500k mark. The invoicing
and workorder paper suffle is killing us slowly.

Mike, most suppliers have thier price lists in Excel format. If you
have MS Office, Download the spreadsheet and set your prices. I set
mine up in about 10 minutes.

To add to Ed's comments-make it a habit to ALWAYS double check your
invoices
when ordering shirts and jackets....Sanmar for instance, will only
list the
'standard' size price in their 'retail' catalog, but if you order XX
or XXX
or even XXtall-you can pay up to $10 more per piece!
and that's at COST, not retail markup. So for polo shirts, example, an
XXL
might cost you $2 more, an XXXL $3 more-and this translates into $4-$6 or
HIGHER add-on markup to the retail!
We run into it virtually every single order-tell the customer 'small
to xtra
large are one price, double extra large costs more' and the customer
ALWAYS
says...." I only need 3 dozen shirts-they're all normal sizes...6
medium, 12
large, 12 extra large, and 6 double extra large"....duh......
I use a pricing program I setup with Filemaker Pro on my mac-and the
entire
price list for Sanmar, Alpha, and others is in it-so I can plug in the
style
number, quantities, and sizes for all shirts-and we deliberately gave any
item with multiple size pricing a separate code for each size-so there
is NO
making mistakes. Saves arguing everytime.
Shirts might be only $1 to $3 additional, but jackets and sweatshirts
can be
over $10 different.
