Integration. Integration is the key word with ProShop. Literally everything that transpires, and through all departments involved, all information is integrated from day 1. You start with an estimate, proceed to a quote, turn that quote into a customer PO, generate your estimate into a Part, from there you can create work orders, packing slips, PO's, inspection reports, etc... ALL ITEMS INTEGRATED. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ProShop is not an accounting software. They'll be the first to admit that....however it would be helpful if they were just a little more accounting minded so that things connected better to our accounting software. It works....and we manage it just fine, but it could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ProShop is a very intuitive software. If you know what you want to do, there is a way to do it. The online help is amazing. I rarely have to reach out to the help desk with such a well thought out online tutorials. The staff was great during implementation. They took thier time to answer all my questions and allowed me to have input on the training direction. We have seats at every machine and work station in our shop. This has allowed for seemless intergation within our organization. Every employee we have uses ProShop everyday. From clocking in to shipping finished goods out the door.

The only area of the software that I think needs work is the tool management section. It works great if you are a large production style shop. It could use some minor tweaks to make it user friendly to smaller job shops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ProShop allows us to see every aspect of our manufacturing, any and all cost associated with manufacturing, where we have gains and losses and how we can continue to improve to make the best, most efficeint product for our customers. ProShop easily is the most thorough ERP software I have found on the market that allows for basically a one-stop shop ERP system. They have simplified so many of our daily processes and procedures that allows to focus on what we do best, which is manufacture product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is so much to love and like about ProShop. It becomes tough to think of a dislike. Because the dislikes are far outweighed by the benefits gained with adding ProShop to our business model. But I would say the onboarding can be tough as it requires all team-members to buy in and accept a significant change. It isn't the easiest system to get to know and navigate initially and so there will be significant training hours required to get everyone knowing their roles within the software.

You have to make your shop fit Proshop, It is extremely complicated or impossible to make Proshop fit your shop. Likewise, processes that are unique or atypical become difficult to work through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is the complete ERP package for any manufacturer. It is easy to use and helps with having an understanding of what is truly happening in your business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed of the web-based interface can be slow at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The designers of ProShop owned a machine shop themselves, so the flow of work within ProShop closely matches what you would expect to find in a machine shop. It provides a wealth of features you need and many others you didn't realize you needed. Examples include detailed job costing, inventory management, planning, tool management, up-to-date production dashboards, scheduling, and more. One of our favorite features is the ability to automatically pull all material certifications, test reports, and first articles when getting a product ready to ship at the click of a button. It is a huge time saver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Shooting yourself in the foot can be easy if you don't know what you're doing. ProShop was designed to be flexible. As such, there aren't as many guardrails as you might find in a different solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
All the data in one place. The entire workflow, from estimating to invoicing, is a fluid process. Tracking all inputs and user edits along the way. The easiest way to process an order is the correct way - no temptation to take shortcuts.
Cloud computing is underrated in small businesses. ProShop makes good use of the cloud to provide data at your fingertips anywhere in the world.
The live time tracking on the shop floor and linked "paper trail" for QMS conformance are extremely valuable features.
Whenever I wonder if ProShop can do this or that - the answer is YES! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downside for a small business is that the many user roles will need to be combined, so employees are multiple responsibilities.
eg. Sales, Estimating, Quoting, and Purchasing may be the same person - To master all of the ProShop features for all of these roles is unrealistic or at least will take a long time.
A major benefit of such a comprehensive ERP is that it will prevent mistakes and omissions if used correctly.
Multi-role employees are likelier to make mistakes, but small businesses cannot always employ more office staff to manage the data and checking processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
