About Print Shop Manager

Print Shop Manager is an on-premise print estimating software designed to help businesses generate quotes for multiple binding operations. The platform enables managers to track the status of orders and view specific instructions provided by customers on a unified interface.

Administrators can view client details and pricing information to generate custom quotations. Print Shop Manager allows teams to retrieve, modify and reuse job specifications, create invoices, receive payments and manage vendor lists on a centralized dashboard. Additionally, supervisors can build personalized templates to generate estimates for printing and selling envelopes, booklets, business cards and sheets.

Print Shop Manager lets businesses filter reports based on salesperson, date or customer name to visualize information regarding sales, invoices and work orders. Pricing is based on a one-time license and support is extended via phone and email.

Pros:
The fact that when you have a question or an issue, the product support is, quick, efficient and actually solves the issue.
Cons:
Users that do not follow the proper procedures and cause most of the issues. I would like to see an easy auto export function of all data tables to a friendly format like .xlsx or .csv. Also an upgrade to the .pdf engine would be nice.

Vendor Response

The backend of PSM is a Microsoft Jet 6.0 database, an MDB. We used it because of it's amazing speed. There are a couple of weak areas in the Jet 6.0 database which our programmers are aware of and program around to make it bulletproof. Some of our users take advantage of it being an MDB and accessible using Excel or Access. They have used the data to create their own specialized reports. They understand that they can read the data all they want, but they cannot change anything. Pretty clever of them! We also write custom reports for customers who need them, but they have their own clever employees who did the reports in-house.

Pros:
To be able to pull up previous orders and place another order off of it. I like that we are able to see the inventory available. The ease of converting a work order to an invoice is another great feature. Emailing quotes are made seamless once you have added the customers email in the data base. One click and the quote is off to the customer. Rich was extremely helpful and patient when we first installed the program. there were many questions and he returned our calls promptly.
Cons:
Not having the same digital options on the Envelope work order to change click charges. You have to do the math and lock it in if you want to change the click charge to something different than the default.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the review Nancy. We have recently added envelopes to the dedicated digital template. You will be receiving the latest updates in a couple of weeks. I appreciate you as a customer and your taking the time to provide feedback. Rich

QUICK, EASY, CLEAN and the Only Program where you can see all inputs on the same screen

5

I've been using PSM for MANY years. I live in the program while I'm at work. When I started with the program we only had offset presses. PSM came with pre-installed presses that we were able to modify. It was much easier than starting from scratch. Over the years PSM changed with us. It's added templates for digital presses and large-format printing. The support is second to none.

Pros:
Seeing all inputs on one screen. I dislike the drop-down menus on other programs. With Print Shop Manager I can see EVERYTHING without flipping through pages. Being able to have multiple quotes open on the same screen is also a huge plus. Sometimes I have old quotes for the same customer open just to make sure I'm not charging too much or too little on a new project.
Cons:
It doesn't link to my website. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a website, estimating software, MIS, and Accounting all operating as the same program. I haven't seen one setup yet that does everything good.

Great value.

I have been using the software for several years and find it very user friendly. It covers just about any kind of printing you can think of. I run a small print shop that does everything from business cards to full vehicle wraps. We also do mailings. This software handles it all. There are other choices that may offer more functions, but not at this price!

Pros:
So many of the other invoicing programs available are complicated and clumsy. Maintenance is expensive. PSM delivers on ease of use and reasonable cost. Customer support rep. is AMAZING and always responsive to my suggestions and needs. He has never let me down. Regular upgrades keep it functional and up to date. We were able to add a custom report at a reasonable cost. It meets our needs nicely as we did not require a Web submission component and did not want a cloud-based program.

Thanks for the review Shallon. You know that if there is ever a function that you need Print Shop Manager to perform, we can make it happen. It's requests from users like you that have made our software evolve into the function rich product that it is now.
