Stringjob – Stringing Software
We often get questions about stringing software here at IART. Here at IART, we’ve tested a program called Stringjob. While running it through the paces, we found it very easy to use and has all the features any stringer would need. Here’s a list of the program features.

This program was designed by a racquet stringer who also works for IBM, and he’s done a remarkable job of including all the basics and then some. You can design your own racquet labels with the included template or work with the developer to have a custom label designed as we did. Here’s a screenshot of the default label design page:
Here’s a screenshot of the custom label we had designed:
Notice with our label, we requested larger text for the customer’s name and phone number, and we did this because we wanted that part of the label to be easier to read. The date completed is printed below the customer’s name. We have the racquet number, DT, local company name & company phone number on the right side of the label.
This is a Cloud-based program, so it doesn’t rely on other software packages like Filemaker, etc, to make it work. The problem we found with programs that work in conjunction with other programs is that if those programs need updating, which, in time, they all seem to do, one update can cause multiple problems with your stringing software. You can check out the home page at Stringjob for more details. You can get the base program for free, or for a modest fee of $5 per month, you can get up and running with the ability to print labels and add an unlimited number of customers to your database. The company contact information can be found on the home page if you have other questions about the program.

Thanks Tim for sharing this information! I like all the features that the Stringjob offers. Nice to know it was designed by a racquet stringer too!
