Global Shop Solutions

Global Shop Review

Pros

I like the fact how Global Shop allows me to customize and tailor it to my specific needs. Learning and utilizing their GAB programming isn't too challenging.

Cons

When updates are introduced they often take a considerable amount of time, and unfortunately, they sometimes end up breaking other parts of the system. This is partly due to our specific customs and options.

An ERP solution that seems like it is stuck in the past.

Pros

The range of features provided by Global Shop Solutions for managing manufacturing operations is impressive. It covers inventory management, production scheduling, and job costing. Additionally, Global Shop Solutions offers some level of customization, allowing me to adapt the software to my unique requirements and processes.

Cons

Price wise, Global Shop Solutions can be quite costly, especially for small businesses working with limited budgets. In terms of complexity, the software can be intricate and may require significant time and resources to fully implement and integrate into our operations. Additionally, it may not integrate smoothly with other software or platforms, which can pose challenges for businesses utilizing multiple tools.

Worst Professional Decision I ever made

Pros

The Product Demo exceeded my expectations. It performs its intended functions flawlessly. Depending on the size of your company, it's more valuable than a shoe box. The references provided are highly positive.

Cons

The Pervasive Database feels like a step back in time to 1995. When compared to MSSQL: a) Backing up and restoring databases is difficult and time-consuming. b) Finding internal resources with Pervasive skills is challenging, unlike with MSSQL. c) There is a severe lack of third-party applications available. The tables in the database are poorly designed: a) Master tables contain multiple rows of data for a single header record, and the data definitions in the same column differ between rows. b) Instead of having a single General Ledger table, there are separate GL tables for each module. A better design would be to have a unified table with a column identifying its source. c) The column names in the database are inconsistent. The same field in two separate tables often have different names, making it difficult to write custom reports that require linking tables. Simple requests are challenging to follow up on: a) Extracting data for basic analysis in Excel is difficult or requires custom programming. Examples include lists of customers, vendors, purchase activity, vendor payments, and general ledger detail activity. b) The financial report writer is outdated and difficult to use for ad hoc reporting needs. Unfortunately, we were unable to complete a site visit to a company using the software during the selection process due to Covid. If we had witnessed it in action, we would not have chosen it. The software feels very dated.

Global Shop - Complete ERP system

Pros

There's always a solution to get things done. Whenever I have questions, support is just a call or email away.

Cons

The software can sometimes feel clunky and cumbersome. While I understand their aim to cater to a wide range of users, it can sometimes create obstacles.

Global Shop Solutions

Pros

This product comes with all the modules and numerous customizable programs right out of the box. Unlike other ERP systems that require additional purchases for add-ons (which can be costly), Global Shop Solutions provides a complete package.

Cons

I can't pinpoint a specific function of Global Shop that I dislike. Most issues stem from a lack of training. However, the team is highly supportive and knowledgeable when we reach out to them for help.

Global Shop Solution Review

Pros

Global Shop Solution is the ideal inventory software with HR support. It enables us to easily manage our staff's salaries and schedules.

Cons

In my experience Global Shop Solutions is the best software for shops and small businesses. I haven't encountered any issues with GSS.

Shop Manager

Pros

We had the option to purchase the system outright. All modules are included in the package, and they offer free training (though the quality of the training is lacking).

Cons

It's crucial to thoroughly research before making a decision because this software is outdated. The system's source code is written in the antiquated COBOL language. Although the user interface appears modern, rest assured that the software itself is old. Each screen functions differently, and we consistently encounter COBOL error codes when performing simple tasks, like entering a dollar amount into a quote. There is a lack of continuity throughout the system, with each screen feeling like a different software altogether.

This product is excellent and has greatly improved our inventory control. Keeping track of it used to require a lot more effort.

Cons

Sometimes, the product's ease of use can make it complex because we were accustomed to navigating through multiple steps. Now, everything is right in front of us!
