SOP's have never been easier to create and manage.
Overall, TouchStone Business Systems was already a formidable tool, but with the integration of AI, it's become an indispensable asset for me and our businesses, where Touchstone aims to stay ahead of the competition. It's not just about streamlining operations anymore; it's about foreseeing, innovating, and excelling, and Touchstone helps our business with that.
PROSI've been using Touchstone Business Systems for a while now, and their standard operating system stands out as one of the best I've encountered. I appreciate the seamless integration and user-friendly interface, which makes daily operations a breeze. The system's robustness and reliability have significantly improved our workflow, ensuring consistency and efficiency in all our business processes. The support team is also commendable, always ready to assist whenever needed. I highly recommend Touchstone Business Systems to any business looking for a dependable and intuitive operating system.
CONSNO cons to mention now that AI is implemented into the platform

TouchStone Business System
Got my moneys worth and we can see that as we grow it will continue to keep us on top of our business.
PROSEasy to use but more importantly the way it organizes our business. It's well thought out. The customer support is crucial and the passion the people there have for what they do makes a big difference. That is important to us because a lot of companies out there are not helpful and you have to figure out everything yourself.
CONSCan not think of anything just the time it takes but all systems take time to do it right.
Reason for choosing TouchStone Business System
Mainly the logic behind it and customer service

Touchstone Processes in an Automobile Dealership
Job definitions are very important, teaching new employees and evaluating their progress in areas such as sales and customer service, and standardization of jobs throughout our organization are all possible with the Touchstone system. The support from the Touchstone cannot be outdone by any other. Weekly tutoring by a Touchstone instructor and web based tutorials are available. Tutorials are updated often. There are also easily accessible examples of other business plans that can be incorporated into a new customer's plan.
PROSThe Touchstone system teaches how important structure is in an organization and sets responsibilities for each job level in the dealership. The top managers are responsible for those who work under his/her direction and have methods to evaluate the performance of each employee based on the definition of the job and work plans that fall under that position. Job descriptions are actually all of the processes that are assigned to the position. The system not only defines the jobs but allows management to create work plans that have processes clearly listed in sequential order. The system also allows inserting pictures, documents, links to outside sources and many other techniques into the processes. These make excellent training resources and references for employees if they forget a process. So, the system introduces structure, teaching and assessing methods, and job descriptions in a concise organized easily accessed manner. We have only scratched the surface of all that Touchstone can do for our dealerships. We are striving for standardization of all the jobs at all of the stores so that employees can move from store to store and feel comfortable at each one.
CONSMy personal problem with the software is not the software itself but my lack of time to spend on building the workplans that we need. As I engage other managers, I hope to spread some of the duties to others. Then we can proceed much faster with the project. I enjoy adding graphics and examples into each process and the results are great. But it is time consuming for persons like me who have many other duties. Time management is one of the by-products of the system, and I have not mastered that yet. It is worth the effort to have the business organized so that new employees can easily see their duties. But building the system takes time and commitment. However, eventually the system will save everyone time.

The Best Systemization Company
I love Touchstone. Extremely responsive to my emails and text messages. You would think they are waiting for my messages, because they respond so fast. [sensitive content hidden] is awesome. No matter when I reach out to her, she is available. Very responsive to setting up training session for me. Thank you so much [sensitive content hidden].
PROSI have looked at several different products, but I always went back to Touchstone. Most companies charge by the number of employees, but Touchstone has one price and you don’t have to worry about that price changing. The system is easy to use and the training is amazing. If you want an one stop shop for your business, Touchstone is the system you want to use. You will not regret your decision to use them.
CONSI cannot thing of one and truly love it
Reasons for switching to TouchStone Business System
Touchstone allows me to store everything in one system.

Touchstone Review
I found Touchstone 10 years ago while doing my own research of systems to implement all of the great learning tools and techniques [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] outlined in his series of books. And finally I am getting to experience it here, where it is all implemented in a complete system ready to use. Great Job [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] & Team!
PROSHaving one place to keep all documentation is awesome and frightening at the same time. And we love the library of forms and procedures already created, that helped us to transition more easily.
CONSThe most difficult thing for us is taking the time to get familiar with all aspects and to remember to go to Touchstone instead of the myriad of notepads and physical documents (breaking bad habits).
Reason for choosing TouchStone Business System
Having the training sessions as opposed to just "poking around" on my own was instrumental in learning the value of a system like this.
