Same Ownership... Two Generations

_{The Alexander Family manages the day-to-day software product development and many customer services}

_{Seated: Founder Dick Alexander and Kathie Alexander.}

_{Back row: Adria Keeney, Barry Klein, President Dusty Alexander, and Erika Klein.}

Global Shop Solutions is an American success story. From Dick Alexander's lifelong dream of business ownership, job creation, and public service to a provider of cost savings to thousands of manufacturing users, Global Shop embodies entrepreneurship at its finest.

Founder Dick Alexander incorporated Global Shop Solutions in 1976. His background includes a B.S. from the University of Missouri, followed by service as an officer in the United States Navy, Harvard MBA, and CPA. Dick worked as corporate controller for Case Tractor at the largest plant in Racine, Wisconsin, where he instituted savings in the millions of dollars through computer systems. Following employment with a large medical instrumentation manufacturer in Houston, Dick started Global Shop as a computer service bureau in a small, one-person office. Through the years, the company has grown to include thousands of users throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, and Asia supported by over 100 Global Shop employees. Dick is active in the day-to-day business operations as chairman/CEO.

Dustin Alexander, Dick's son, became president of Global Shop in 2006. Dusty grew up around the business. In his teens, he mowed the office lawn and ran errands. As a Baylor University student, he set up an office in Waco, TX, and recruited a staff of college students to generate leads. Following graduation in 1990 with a B.S. in business and finance, Dusty went to work full time in sales. Through his efforts, the company saw its greatest growth. Many product innovations and services have been instituted as a result of Dusty's close interaction with Global Shop customers. He continues to talk to customers on a daily basis and conducts frequent webinars to educate them on new products and updates or just to check their progress with the system. It's fair to say that Dusty has personally visited hundreds of shops just like yours.

Other family members include:
Kathie Alexander, Director of Corporate Communications
Erika Klein, Executive Vice President, Research and Development
Barry Klein, Chief Financial Officer
Adria Keeney, Human Resources

"Corilam's a family-owned business, and so is Global Shop. That's been one of our attractions to their operation from the very beginning. We understand that there's a lot more pride when you have a family-owned business, and obviously it's a closer feeling and relationship we have with Global Shop. I know that they're going to be reliable, and everybody in their organization is a little closer tied to us, because they're also a family-run business. We like that."

Brad Robins - Corilam Fabricating Company

Very Successful Customers

Unlike other software providers who are bought, sold, merged, purged, and regurged, Global Shop had remained in the very stable and capable hands of the Alexander family since the company's incorporation in 1976. That means that your software investment is safe. You know the people you are dealing with and you know they are in business for the long haul. We pride ourselves on our customers' success, not just because they are great users, but because their success is measured in more dollars, increased productivity, and happy customers.

"I think it's a great tool. I've worked on many different systems in the 16 years I've been in manufacturing, and I find Global Shop to be, by far, the best I've ever seen in terms of keeping every part of our shop in order. The bottom-line is that Global Shop truly allows us to see our capacity, and to expand upon that capacity that we didn't know we had. I know it's an incredibly simple statement, but our Global Shop system tells us what we need to do to be successful."
