shopVOX

Cloud-based business management software designed for custom manufacturing shops.

Why consider alternatives to shopVOX?

shopVOX has been a popular choice for sign shops, print facilities, and apparel decorators thanks to its powerful job board feature, customizable product templates, and solid integrations with accounting software like QuickBooks and Xero. Many shops appreciate its cloud-based approach and online proofing capabilities.

However, some sign shop owners are exploring alternatives due to:

  • Significant price increases — Users report pricing nearly doubling in recent years, with some seeing jumps from $215 to $366 per month without corresponding feature additions
  • System complexity — Several shop owners find it takes too many clicks to process jobs and note that the learning curve can be steep for new team members
  • Data portability concerns — The export function doesn't include line items and notes for quotes and sales orders, making it challenging to migrate data if you decide to switch
  • Resource-intensive onboarding — Getting your shop fully set up and trained on shopVOX can require significant time investment

If you're experiencing any of these challenges, or simply want to explore what else is available in the shop management software space, the alternatives below offer different approaches to pricing, simplicity, and feature sets that might be a better fit for your business.
