It all starts with an accurate estimate. ProjectPAK is the premier estimating package for custom, quote-driven manufacturers. You won’t find a more powerful or flexible estimating tool. Take off jobs by unit, component, or parametric approaches. Powerful “job spec sheet” capability allows estimators to choose materials and construction techniques up front, then ProjectPAK automatically configures products and calculates cost as they are added to the estimate. Our pre-built residential and commercial casework databases contain hundreds of parametric cabinets and cabinet sub-assemblies that significantly reduces set-up. After doing the take-off, ProjectPAK generates professional bids and other documents directly from the estimate. This saves time and reduces errors, especially when doing revisions and change orders. |

Turn your estimate into a first-cut job. ShopPAK reads information from ProjectPAK, automatically creating work orders with budgeted labor and a preliminary bill-of-materials. Project managers, engineers, and purchasing agents refine the same job data giving them a powerful management workbench. ShopPAK’s unique PO Builder lets you analyze material needs across all jobs. Use it to quickly create reservations against ‘on order’ and ‘available’ inventory, as well as, generate job-specific purchase orders. Integrated shop floor data collection captures actual time and material usage, giving you accurate and timely data. ShopPAK’s extensive and powerful reporting capability lets you zero in on the information you’re looking for. Make informed decisions about personnel, efficiency, profitability, material status and job status. |

The Scheduler is specially designed to deal with changing situations. Accurate scheduling is hard enough, but when priorities and due dates constantly shift, it is just about impossible to keep schedules up to date. We’ve solved this problem by creating a scheduling package that is tightly integrated with ShopPAK. Jobs, work orders, estimated hours, percent complete, and material status automatically flow into the Scheduler. Unlike stand-alone scheduling packages that require the user to assign resources, we automatically assign the best resource based on priority, availability, and skill. The Scheduler produces Gantt charts and scheduling reports, and best of all, automatically keeps ShopPAK’s scheduled start and finish dates in sync with the master schedule. |

Timely and accurate data is key to effective job costing and tracking. Manually filling out job cards is error prone and slow. Gathering them up and entering them into a computer adds additional errors and time. ShopPAK automates this critical function with its easy to use, PC-based system. It captures time and attendance and job cost information at its source, eliminating posting errors and reducing administrative cost. Employees quickly scan on to new work orders using touch screens or bar code scanners. We automatically capture the time an employee is on a work order, as well as, what operation they are performing. Data is immediately uploaded to ShopPAK so project and production managers can track progress and monitor costs. |

Leverage your current investment in accounting and engineering software packages. ShopPAK links with leading accounting and CAD/CAM engineering packages. Export ShopPAK invoices, purchase orders, vouchered payables, and payroll hours to your accounting package. We currently link with QuickBooks, Peachtree, MAS 90/200, Timberline, MYOB, Accpac, and ADP. If you use an engineering CAD/CAM package to finalize products and bill-of-materials, ShopPAK can automatically update work order products and product attributes, as well as, bill-of-materials from finalized engineering data. This saves time and eliminates data entry errors. We currently link with Microvellum, Cabinet Vision, and Cabnetware. |
