Really Customizable and tailored to your needs. I was hesitant to go with Shop Controller because I am not their average client and I really felt my needs were too unique. I could not find any service software that met all of my needs. After a few months using the system I have to admit I could not have done better. They really customized the software to my business. They helped me hide everything I did not need and even added a few custom features. I want to thank Steve, my account manager, for all his effort to make sure everything was up to my standards/requirements. It integrates perfectly

I'm glad I went with ShopController. It gives me everything I need to manage my busy shop. It works nicely with Worldpac and my other vendors, so putting together estimates is easy. Moving a work order along through the stages from appointment to invoice is a simple process, and it's easy to tell what's going on in the shop at any time. I was nervous about switching from my old, really basic program, but they assigned me a trainer who made it easy and worked with my schedule. ShopController support customized my screens so everything is laid out perfectly for the way I like to work. When I have

The people at ShopController are great to work with and very personable. The program is even better! Being a custom fire apparatus builder (and service center) we find our needs very unique and ShopController has helped us to meet our needs. I enjoy modifying the interface and reports and Steve is a great help leading me in the right direction. I have to throw Hyla's name out there, too! Thanks to all!

I have been using Shop Controller for almost a year now. Very user friendly, web based (no back-ups). I have never experienced the system go down, which keeps us up and making $. Doree and Hyla are wonderful. Great people and very helpful. Training was easy and havent had to call them for support since. Thanks also to Marshall and Nate for some customization work that we requested.
