This thing is the MVP of my workday. The number of features that this beast unleashes is mind-boggling. What I like best (aside from the fact that it doesn't make me cry like Shopmonkey used to) is how it lets me track "technician efficiency" in a beautiful, job-by-job, line-by-line symphony of productivity. You pick your date range, you get your data, and voila—numbers\! Useful numbers\! In formats that don't make you want to throw your computer into the river. It doesn’t stop there. The “advisor analysis” tab does the same magic for service advisors. It’s like ShopView handed me a crystal ball for team performance, only it’s not mystical—it’s just shockingly well-designed software. Gone are the dark days of building Franken-sheets in Excel, manually dragging formulas across columns. Now I just click a few buttons, export in the format of my choosing (Excel, maybe a stone tablet if they add that next), and boom—clarity. In short, ShopView's Reports page is the best thing to happen to my workflow since the invention of Ctrl+Z. Bravo. > > **Cons**: Right now? I’ve got nothing bad to say about ShopView. Zilch. Nada. It’s the software equivalent of finding fries at the bottom of the bag—unexpectedly delightful and exactly what you needed. It’s genuinely filling a big gap in the industry. Before this, we were stitching together data like medieval monks with spreadsheets. Now, it’s just point, click, export, done. I don’t even get the chance to scream into my monitor anymore. And I miss that a little. But I’ll get over it. If I had one tiny suggestion—make it free. Completely, 100% free. I mean, if you’re already changing the game, might as well go full superhero. > > Before ShopView, I’ve spent more hours (and let’s not talk about the dollars) wrestling with clunky software and spreadsheet gymnastics just to get the right data to manage my team properly. Seriously, this thing is saving me time, money, and probably a few remaining brain cells. At this point, it feels less like software and more like a very competent coworker who actually shows up on time and knows what they’re doing. ----- ### "Shopview is always ready, are you?" — 5.0/5 > **Shannon** | *13 June 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It never breaks down, it's a well oiled machine that you can always rely on. I wish our vehicles were as reliable as shopview. > > **Cons**: I really don't like that it took so long for our company to start using shopview, when we had heard about it a long time before we launched it. This isn't a problem of shopview itself, but maybe extra reviews will help people like our upper management make the right choice sooner. > > It just works, it does exactly what you want to do, exactly when you want to do it. Whether you need to toy with work orders in the middle of the night due to having feral children, receive invoices on the weekend and do an inventory recount during the closed hours, it doesn't matter. It's always ready for you. ----- ### "First few months on ShopView" — 5.0/5 > **Lance** | *28 February 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The reporting on this software is great, in just a few clicks I can see almost any metrics I am tracking. We set a lot of goals as a team and having the reporting gives me almost immediate feedback on service writer and technician performance. > > **Cons**: Small thing, but the scheduler took us a while to get used to. Our previous one was laid out differently and that made it slightly counterintuitive. > > Overall it has been great, from the start of a workorder to finish the is very streamlined. Easy for techs to use, easy for service to use. Everything you want to be able to see you can, and getting the information and dispersing it is not cumbersome. Invoicing and quoting options are great and easy to use. ----- ### "ShopView makes it easy to keep my customers happy" — 5.0/5 > **Eduardo** | *16 April 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What really stands out to me about ShopView is how user-friendly it is. These days, picking up new computer systems isn’t always easy—but with ShopView, it just clicked. I was able to pick it up quickly and start working more efficiently that very same day. It’s made a big difference in how smoothly my day goes. > > **Cons**: At the moment, I have to refresh the page to see updates on work orders in ShopView, but it would be awesome to have those changes show up in real time. Hopefully that’s something coming down the line. > > It only took me one day of training to get the hang of ShopView, and it’s been making my days so much easier ever since. Now I use it all the time on my phone and tablet while I’m on the road. It’s made scheduling, tracking, and delegating my daily tasks way more efficient—and honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without it now. ----- ### "ShopView review" — 5.0/5 > **Shellbee** | *6 June 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use. The quick tech support. Dark mode. Clearly laid out screens. The ability to export inventory into an Excel spreadsheet. > > **Cons**: Some features are currently in development. ShopView is currently geared towards service as apposed to parts features. > > Easy system to use, love having dark mode \& being able to export inventory into an Excel spreadsheet. Excited for extra features coming soon. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/522802/ShopView?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/522802/ShopView) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
