AllProWebTools vs. ShopBase

It works very well for my cooking business.

ShopBase is always there to help if I have an issue, and they also offer helpful ideas for building and optimizing my store.

• The CRM holds all of my contacts and it is already integrated with all of my other tools.
• The Email Management system is already integrated with all of my other tools. This means that I do not have to download CSVs and upload them to a separate email program everytime I want to send out an email blast.
• I can take payments in the same system that has my email marketing and CRM. This means that I can create tags and send different email campaigns depending on if I have received payment or not.
• The website hosting means that I can use the same software to update my blog and gallery of food pictures.
• I can sell tickets to my cooking classes from the same software that manages everything else that I do in my business.
• I use the task manager that is built in to remind me of things I need to do. I really like that it is tied into my CRM so I can tag tasks to specific clients.
• The built in timecard system allows me to "clock in" to whatever client that I am working on so that my time and hourly rate are automatically calculated for me. My invoices are sent automatically on the first of each month.

I used to use Microsoft Excel to organize my business - but it got pretty crazy pretty fast.

Shopify apps are diverse but not consistent and costs a lot to build a store.

• It just makes it easier for me to track what is going on in my business.
• I like having everything in one place, instead of a bunch of different programs.

• Save lost sales
• Reduce cost
• Take less time to manage
