I built the toolswe needed
ShopView is heavy-duty shop management software. Work orders, scheduling, parts, invoicing and reporting. I built it because nothing on the market worked for my own shops. It's now running in shops in all 50 states and every province.

Nothing on the market did the job
As Foothills grew, I tried five different shop softwares. Every one of them left the important work spread across manual processes, disconnected tools, and reporting I had to sift through that didn't show correct data or took forever to load.
The worst part was what it did to my team. They were staying late doing computer work instead of going home. The software was making the job slower, not faster. And I had to add team members just to keep up with it all.
I built ShopView around the way I wished it had worked the whole time. The way a real shop operates. My shops run on it, which means every decision in the product gets tested against a real business before it reaches anyone else's.
ShopView is the only heavy-duty shop management software built by someone who started a shop from scratch, scaled it, and still runs shops today.

What it's built around
Common sense
Two-click navigation to anywhere in the system. Two clicks to any report. If you need a manual to find a work order, the software failed.
Instant load speeds
Built to be lightning fast. Every second a service writer spends waiting on a screen is a second not spent on a customer.
Going home on time
Software should get invoicing done before the end of the shift, not create an hour of computer work after it.
Data you can act on
If the shop isn't making the profit it should, the numbers show you exactly where. No spreadsheet rebuild required.
