    While it varies greatly from one to another, we are not aware of any shop management software that has all of these features at this time.

    We suggest that you check out our sponsors, spend some time in our software directory and software demo pages shopping and comparing to see which software works best for what you need at your shop.

    I completely agree that software should export various sets of data. For instance RO totals, customer, inventory, transaction data. The standard for export might not be directly to a spreadsheet. It might be a CSV file (comma delimited), XML, or excel formatted XML. These kinds of data exports can normally be imported into a spreadsheet. Excel and Open Office will import them automatically when they are opened.

    As far as importing, it is more complex for a program to import because it has to ‘merge’ the new data with the programs current data. You will probably not see many programs that import transaction data or RO’s, as each software vendor tends to store their data differently. However, it is beneficial to be able to import customer records and inventory records. Importing inventory has to be able to merge with the current inventory in the system. If done right, it can update cost and prices or give you the option to do so.
