Global Shop Solutions Sets 1st Quarter Sales Record

THE WOODLANDS, TX – Following up on its strong performance in 2014, Global Shop Solutions, a global leader in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software industry, started off 2015 with a bang by achieving several company “bests.” Overall company revenue for a single quarter set a 39-year company record, while new customer orders and completed go-lives for new customers also reached new company highs.

“2014 was a strong year for us, and we expect the upward trend to continue throughout this year,” says Dusty Alexander, CEO of Global Shop Solutions. “We’re continuing to grow in both new software sales and consulting services, which indicates we’re doing a good job of attracting new customers and helping existing customers run their businesses more efficiently.”

Alexander attributes Global Shop Solutions’ robust sales growth to several factors, including the redesign of its core software product. Released last year, the newest version of the software comes loaded with new features, new screens, and enhanced customization capabilities that give manufacturers a simpler, more intuitive system for managing their entire business. In particular, the customization features seem to have caught on with new customers.

“Our software has always been known for its high degree of individual company customization, which allows manufacturers to tailor it to their unique shop floor requirements without a lot of expensive programming,” says Alexander. “Our latest version includes a new feature, called ARC.net, that makes it even easier for customers to build in the customization they need or download something we have built for another customer off the ARC site.

“The ARC site offers a library of more than 1,300 custom applications, created by Global Shop Solutions users, at no cost to our customers,” adds Alexander. “We’re fortunate to have a customer base that works with us to continually improve our software product and keep us at the forefront of ERP technology.”

In addition to sales, Global Shop Solutions continue to grow on the staffing side as well, with the total number of employees now approaching 200.
