  • 1.  program for order entry / work orders/ job tickets

    Posted 02-03-2017 08:19 AM
    Hello!

    We have a proprietary order entry system but it has some kinks . . . so I am looking for a reasonably priced solution for creating our job/work orders.

    Each order needs to track client details, class of mail, type of mail, mail date, data processing services and requirements, production and mailing services, hand work services, inventory, etc.

    • This is for lettershop and some digital printing and copying.  We do not do offset printing in-house.
    • Must be easy to add and edit client info
    • In addition to a fixed menu of services that we frequently use, must be able to easily add new services as needed
    • Should include a special instructions section for notes specific to the job
    • Must be accessible to multiple users.
    • We currently use a program that was created specifically for us.
    • However, it has some kinks -- so I am wondering what else is out there.
    • Integration with QuickBooks would be great but not a deal breaker
    • Must be able to duplicate and then edit previous orders to create a NEW order
    • Each user should be able to print the work order

    Any ideas, suggestion -- will be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you very much.

    We use EPMS as well and are very happy with it. We have been using it since 2000. It handles everything from accounting, estimating, order entry, job tracking and costing, shipping, and inventory.

    Check out Virtual Systems Midnight. We made the switch from EFI PrintSmith 3 years ago. It handles all the mailing aspects your looking for and more. Also imports into Quickbooks.
