Testimonials

We could write a book about Global Shop's exceptional value and return on investment, but we prefer to let our customers speak for themselves:



Streamlined Operations

"Global Shop's estimating tools helped reduce process errors and inventory inaccuracies. Our company found that we could sell panels without losing money and our on-time delivery improved 15%. Cycle counting accounted for easier physical inventories and discrepancies were reduced by 50%. Citadel was able to achieve a 40% reduction in labor, streamlining from 1,000 to 600 hours/week. Concurrently, our company saw a 20% increase in sales revenue. Global Shop tools improved our processes across the board."
Noel Sutton - Citadel Architectural Products

"Before Global Shop, we had three purchasing agents. Now, using Global Shop Automated Purchasing and two agents, we are buying over three times the volume of goods and services. We used to spend 40-60 hours per week running shipping labels and reports. Global Shop now accomplishes this task in 10 minutes. The integration of modules helps employees communicate efficiently. Our IT needs nearly disappeared. The flexibility of the software, especially CRM and Auto Work Order Generation, was another factor in our ability to grow rapidly. We have experienced three times the sales with the same number of sales reps since 2001.Global Shop has allowed our company to focus on its customers' needs instead of software requirements."

"We went into the Global Shop system looking for one system and one database to replace more than one system which had duplicity in record keeping. We achieved this with Global Shop's unified system. Now we can't live without it."
Bud Hoffman - Lakeshore Automatic



Improved On-Time Delivery

"Since implementing Global Shop Solutions, Wilshire's grown 1,200% with 99.4% on-time delivery and a quality rating that is close to near-perfect."  
Tom Lewis - Wilshire Precision ...Read more »

"With the implementation of the Global Shop system, Iowa Prison Industries has averaged 98.7% on-time deliveries over the past three years! Sales, customer satisfaction and profits have increased during the same time."
Roger L. Baysden - Iowa Prison Industries

"Our on-time delivery has improved from the mid-80's to 99%, and this is the rate that our customers really demand. This year, we spent about $500 in expedited freight, while before Global Shop, we might have been spending $40,000 or $50,000 per year on expedited freight."

Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS)

"Global Shop's Advanced Planning and Scheduling module is a must. It gives us an incredible array of options in terms of how to schedule our shop that not only deals with work center capacity, but also employee availability and skill level. I have never seen anything like it!"
Dan Tweed Jr. - Carnes-Miller Gear

"Global Shop's Advanced Planning and Scheduling module is the best in the business. Incredibly powerful."
Ray Almekinder - ATD Precision Machining ...Read more »

"Global Shop has really helped us in terms of on-time delivery, and where it's made its most impact is in the APS module. By using the whole APS module, it's giving us a much better look at what dates we should be committing to and making sure we start the right work at the right time. The software also aids in moving work from one cell to another."

Global Application Builder (GAB)

"I think GAB is a great product that separates Global Shop from the field even further."
James Hux - Humanetics

"Now we are using the GAB and we like it a lot. With GAB, the people at Global Shop made the whole process a lot simpler for us. Global Shop wrote a script that
corresponded to the way we do business. In our inventory, we number parts with the same number used in the blueprints. Matching the software in this way has saved us a tremendous amount of time. For example, where I would've had to have linked, say, 4,000 blueprints, with GAB I don't have to link them at all. The GAB program is really nice for us simply in this respect, and I can see it is going to be a great tool for us in the coming years."
Carl Strohmaier - Milcut ...Read more »

"With the GAB we can go into the software and automate simple or complex processes. The GAB has been a tremendous asset in helping us streamline our office operations through automation. We can customize the software just like we want to use it, and in doing so gain efficiencies on our indirect costs."
James Martin -- Matin's Wood Products ...Read more »



Lean Manufacturing

"We're very, very lean as a company, and we're lean because of Global Shop."
David Zuckerwise -  Liberty Brass Turning Company ...Read more »

"Global Shop has been very open and active in whatever it takes to help my company succeed in its lean manufacturing objectives."
Ted Stout - Impressions Marketing Group ...Read more »

"Global Shop had all we needed in an ERP software solution, but without the enormous IT support cost that the larger software providers were quoting us."
Brian Rieble -  Concise Industries



Quality

"We're able to keep absolute control over quality by being able to see what's going on with scrap. Over time, we've seen that when people are forced to put scrap into the computer using Global Shop, and we can account for what's supposed to be there and what's lost in production-it's amazing how much less scrap they make. I can truly say that our Global Shop system raises the scrap accountability for the people working our machines. And with less scrap, we have greater control over both quality and cost."
Michael Martens -  M&H Engineering Company ...Read more »

"Global Shop makes the ISO Cert process, and the subsequent running of ISO jobs, as quick, paperless, and accurate as possible."
Scott Franklin -  California Gasket and Rubber ...Read more »

"The fact that Global Shop is fully integrated has been its best attribute for us and what we do here at Panoramic. It does it all, from accounting to customer service, and inventory controls to quality controls in each aspect of our manufacturing."

Ease of Use

Ian Hart - Calnetix ...Read more »

"It's a real user-friendly system for all of our people out on the shop floor," Fisher explains. "We've been using it so long now that it doesn't even take the new guys coming in very long at all to learn the system. In fact, when we do have somebody new come along, I don't see very many mistakes in their learning curve."
Larry Fisher - Turbo Components & Engineering

"Because it's easy for our workers to use, Global Shop is one of those things that help us maximize the information we get off the shop floor in actually making the part, making it profitably, and shipping it out the door on schedule. Global Shop is a software system that allows us to easily keep up with the information flow and use it the best we can for the best results."

Peter Galindo - Lyon Gear and Machine

"Global Shop has offered us the continuous payback solution we were hoping to find in a machine shop software package. It's a positive ROI situation and I don't know how we would run our business today without Global Shop."
Rick Mount - RAM Precision Products ...Read more »

"From my perspective, one of the biggest gains in using Global Shop is that we are starting to run out of "activities" for the administrative staff to actually do in the office. This is because there is much less paper moving through the office now than before Global Shop.
Carl Strohmaier - Milcut ...Read more »



Reduced Costs

"We've doubled our revenue since we've gotten Global Shop, but have only added two office staff to the operation, and that's the biggest statistic of all for us...With Global Shop, we're one and a half times the size we were before acquiring the software, with a profitability increase of about 75% in that time."
George Pacheco - Pazmac Enterprises ...Read more »

 "From front office to shop floor, I see Global Shop as helpful in terms of monitoring and even reducing both our direct and indirect costs."
Edward Bond - Adams Automatic

 Jeff Hollinger -  Eptam Plastics ...Read more »



Customer Relations

"The efficiency we gained through Global Shop also results in better customer relations. When working with our customers, in the shop or on the phone, we can instantly see their job status through Global Shop."
Don Centamore - Custom Rubber Products

"Customers know they can count on us and that what we are telling them about quality and delivery is accurate. This is a result of less maintenance needed on the system due to the fact that it's all in a single-source system. This is really important to us, and I know my job's a lot easier with Global Shop than with what we had before."
Ray Almekinder -  ATD Precision Machining ...Read more »

"Global Shop has elevated customer service for us to a niched marketing capability. With the Global Shop Configurator, we exceed customer expectations of quality and product selection, and we're able to keep everything in the production process in order and running smoothly."
James Martin - Martin's Wood Products ...Read more »



Research and Development

"Global Shop has helped Solar Spring become successful because they understand that the industry we are in is a constantly changing industry. Global Shop research and development has kept one step ahead of these changes in the market, and this is important to us on many levels. Mostly, what Global Shop has done is provide innovations in manufacturing software that we at Solar Spring can use to keep us ahead of our competition in the industry."
Emilio Ortega -  Solar Spring and Wire Forms ...Read more »

"The constant upgrading of the software through R&D is certainly something they're on top of all of the time. Some of significant things they're brought out and are useful for us are Business Intelligence for building reports, and the Quality system module. Now that they've come out with the Lean Dashboard, we're finding ourselves also using that a lot of the time."
Rick Mount - RAM Precision Industries ...Read more »

"The products the research department at Global Shop comes up with are great products designed for specifically for manufacturers, and they're actually useful for us. It's not like the other software guys that come up with bunch of glitz on the screen. We use everything in the software we buy from Global Shop."
Michael Martens - M&H Engineering ...Read more »



Global Shop - Your Technology Partner

"In addition to purchasing a world-class software product, Corilam gained a world-class partner in Global Shop Solutions. Global Shop not only worked hard to assist during the implementation phase, but it has continually updated and improved the package throughout the life of the product. These improvements and the addition of new features have worked hand-in-hand with Corilam's efforts to develop a lean manufacturing operation."
Brad Robins - Corilam Fabricating

"Global Shop has helped M & H succeed because they try harder than any other software company I know of to keep their relationships with their customers strong. It's the commitment from Global Shop that makes all the difference in their ERP software and what else is out there on the market."
Michael Martens - M&H Engineering Company ...Read more »

"There's no doubt about it that we've considered Global Shop as our partner. They've helped us succeed in our business endeavors because of the individual attention they have always given us-whether it's a crucial service problem or the simplest technical question. When it comes to the personal touch, the organizational relationships that Global Shop has with its customers are definitely unlike the impersonal attitudes taken by the mega-corporation software providers. Global Shop and Impressions-we're very comfortable with each other."

Brian Rieble - Concise Industries



Global Shop Customer Service

We've found that we can call them anytime for questions or help with the system. If we need help figuring out a new report function or something in the upgrades, they're a very responsive company and will call us back quickly with help."
Mark Tiedeman - Tru-Form Tooling & Manufacturing ...Read more »

Dana Ullerich - Wilshire Precision ...Read more »

"The support at Global Shop is, simply outstanding. I especially like the fact that we're able to get specific training for our labor with the Global Shop system in any number of ways - virtually online, through on-site consultants, or even down in Texas in their facilities. It's really helpful to know that we can get all the help we need to learn the system, and that there is always a person there to help when you pick up the telephone. In our experience, it's a real helpful support system that they have at Global Shop."
