THE SHOPDOCS DIFFERENCE

Software-sized value without software-sized overhead.

ShopDocs sits between a blank template and a full connected-worker or CMMS implementation. It is built for teams that need better documents now.

1 sourceEnter the process once and generate the versions engineering, technicians, and operators need.
0 subscriptionsPurchase the license once and use the included standalone generator within the licensed scope.
Minutes, not hoursSpend less time rebuilding headers, tables, page breaks, revision blocks, and output layouts.
WHO IT IS FOR

Built for small and mid-sized manufacturing teams.

ShopDocs is strongest where the need is real but a large enterprise platform is unnecessary, unaffordable, or too slow to implement.

ENGINEERING

Process and manufacturing engineers

Create professional instructions faster and keep document-control information consistent.

MAINTENANCE

Plant and reliability teams

Turn equipment knowledge into complete PM procedures and technician-ready recording sheets.

OPERATIONS & QUALITY

Supervisors and quality professionals

Make expectations, acceptance criteria, warnings, and revision status easier to understand.

SIMPLE ONE-TIME LICENSING

Choose the scope that matches how the product will be used.

Individual licenses cover one named user inside one organization. Site licenses cover unlimited internal users at one physical manufacturing location.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Know exactly what you are purchasing.

Is ShopDocs a subscription or cloud platform?

No. The current generators are standalone HTML applications sold under one-time licenses. They run in a modern browser and save projects locally.

Does ShopDocs replace a QMS, CMMS, or document-control system?

No. ShopDocs helps users create structured, professional documents. The purchasing organization remains responsible for approval, release, storage, training, access control, and record retention.

Can I add my company branding?

Yes. Both generators support company names, logos, preset palettes, custom accent colors, and professional outputs.

Are the Word files editable?

Yes. DOCX exports are intended to open in Microsoft Word for additional review or company-specific changes.

Can a consultant use the generators for client deliverables?

Not under the standard individual or site licenses. A consultant license is required when documents are being produced for multiple client organizations.

Exports and project saving are included in the paid generator.
