User Friendly - Feature Heavy - Great Product
I've had the fortunate opportunity to work closely with a number of people at shopboss. Our business is always evolving and changing the way we do things. We are just a little different than most of our competitors. Shopboss is open to our suggestions and unique requests so that their software specifically fits our business model. I've never seen another company do that for us. The quality of their work is very high and keeps me excited about working with them to make shopboss the best it can be for us.
PROSThe software is very intuitive and easy to use. New employees can walk in and start writing work orders almost immediately. The work flow is simple and makes logical sense walking the customer through the intake process. They have built in labor books, parts ordering, and texting that are easy to use and make the speed of service lightning fast. New features are constantly being released and improving the overall quality of the product.
CONSThere isnt much bad to say about their product. They have experienced some growing pains as they expanded their customer base that effected service slightly. They have since corrected these issues. There are difficulties when working with a completely web based system but the benefits greatly exceed the cons.
Reason for choosing Shop Boss
Price, user friendly, cost, setup/deployment time, training, and backend setup were all factors in this decision. Shopboss excelled at them all.
Reasons for switching to Shop Boss
ROWriter was charging a lot and moving to a web subscription service. Their technical support was atrocious and rigid. Their sales/account team was even worse as their turnover was so high we never actually knew who our account rep was. The software was stagnant and behind the times.

Make the move and don’t look back!
Originally this company was family owned and the Overall experience was like dealing with family, then when they moved to the next level, the only thing that changed was more features, better resources and more friendly family to deal with!!
PROSFrom The integrated inspection feature, to the ease of creating unlimited canned jobs, to the way the software communicates with some of my marketing partners, where do I start? Where do I end? It’s good!!
CONSOnly con I can think of is that we didn’t switch sooner!!
Reason for choosing Shop Boss
The warm welcome from the sales, along with the ability to run the program side by side with my old one for a month for free.
Reasons for switching to Shop Boss
Originally Main reason was for the cloud based and to simplify. Saving money and dealing with a company that made more advancements inside of the first year than the old company made in 12 was a bonus!!

The only thing consistent with ShopBoss is it is down, and "being worked on"
Just know we are severely disappointed.
PROSWhen our current owner purchased the business from the previous owner, he used ShopBoss and we just carried it over since the staff was familiar with it so thats the only reason we use it.
CONSThe fact that it is so consistently down, or being worked on. And all we get is a sorry. Funny that the billing is NEVER down, or the ability for them to charge our cards is NEVER down. Our shop depends on this program to work for our shop to run seamlessly. However, we can't depend on that. This week so far (Thursday) it has been down twice for HOURS. The first day, we had customers waiting and our techs were in the middle of jobs when it went down, we had no way for them to pay--or even open Work Orders to see them, so the amount of people who walked out with free work is asinine. All because the program doesn't work like it is supposed to--like we pay for it to work.
Vendor Response
Hello Amanda, we can appreciate your frustration with stability over the past few days. Shop Boss is a program that is meant to run your business, and when it's unavailable, things come grinding to a stop. For that, we apologize, and will continue to monitor and optimize until we get back to our 99.99% uptime. If you'd like to discuss further, please reach out to our service team at customersuccess@shopboss.net and they'd be happy to discuss your current situation.
