As well as it shows Revenue, invoice and payment summaries that are easy to see. > > **Cons**: So far what i like the least about this software would be the inventory management system and p.o. issueing. But I am not really using those features yet > > Shop methods has been a very helpful tool to get my business going, it is easy to use and well organized. It saves me from having to enter information in multiple times and does most of the work for me. All you have to do is create the estimate from there the system looks after the rest of the paperwork including the ability to take payment right from the program ----- ### "Very Easy and Accommodating" — 5.0/5 > **Tyler** | *May 28, 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, works great for our customer with the portal.

Shop Methods is a one and done for all your software needs. If you want something changed or need a new feature that will help you use the system and make more Money. Don is the man and makes it happen. Cant say enough good about the service and support even after a few years. Easy to read Invoices for the customers leave nothing to question. Texting and Email communication features makes reaching busy and young customers easy. Ability to take notes and pictures along the way is awesome when working with an Insurance estimate. > > **Cons**: The minute you find a con you contact them and Its no longer a con.
