How ShopWorks Boosts Decorated Apparel Businesses
Running a decorated apparel business is a juggling act—from quoting and production to proofing and shipping. ShopWorks OnSite is a specialized ERP built to streamline every step so you don’t have to be everything to everyone.
1. Lightning-Fast Quotes & Accurate Pricing
- Size matrix‑based entries let you add multi‑size runs in seconds, keeping data clean and intuitive.
- Price calculators factor in quantities, ink colors, flashes, margin percentages, and volume discounts—so you quote quickly and profitably.
2. Built‑In Production Tracking
- Log job variables like ink colors, mesh counts, squeegee parameters, and thumbnail previews—then reuse them later to maintain consistency.
- Real‑time production scheduling and floor-level event tracking ensure you know what’s next—no sticky notes required.
3. Proofing that Keeps Jobs Moving
- With the ProofStuff add-on, you create, send, and track online proofs (artwork, invoices, shipping details) with convenient reminders and full-history logs.
- This keeps approvals from slowing you down and maintains a professional customer experience.
4. Smart Order & Inventory Management
- OnSite acts as a central hub for everything: marketing, order entry, purchasing, receiving, inventory, production, shipping, plus accounting.
- Integrations with suppliers like SanMar, Alpha‑Broder, S&S give you real-time vendor pricing updates—no manual Excel imports.
5. Built For Decorated Apparel
- Unlike generic tools, OnSite is laser‑focused on decorated‑apparel workflows—screen printing, embroidery, digital printing, awards, etc. It’s pre‑config’d for how you work, not retrofitted.
- You get built‑in modules for artwork management, job costing, vendor pricing, and production events—all relevant to your decorated apparel shop setup.
6. Scale & Grow Without Losing Your Mind
- As demand grows, OnSite can grow with you—handling multiple users, more production, advanced integrations (Shopify, ShipStation, WooCommerce).
- You can set reminders, proofs, shipping, ordering and reporting—so you’re not swamped by admin as your shop gets busier.
