Stringjob – Stringing Software

Tim Strawn 1 Comment

I often get questions about stringing software here at IART. For the past several years I’ve been using John Gugel’s Racquet Record program which is the most complete program I’ve ever used. However, John no longer offers his program so when I saw this one I decided to give it a try to see if it was worthwhile. Some people just use simple spreadsheets and they seem to be fine with that. However, if you want a more sophisticated way to track everything you do there are other alternatives. One is a program called Stringjob that can be found here https://app.stringjob.com

I’ve been using this program for a few months now and I’ve found it quite simple and very complete and chances are, it’s going to be all you need for your stringing business. Here’s a list of the programs 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 you can work with the developer to have a custom label designed as I did. Here’s a screen shot of the default label design page:

Here’s a screenshot of the custom label I had designed for my shop:

Notice with my label I requested larger text for the customer’s name and phone number and I did this because I wanted that part of the label to be easier to read. The date completed is printed below the customers name. I have the racquet number, DT, my 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 make it work. The problem I found with programs that work with other programs is that if those programs need updating, which in time, they all do, one update can cause multiple problems with your stringing software. You can check out the home page atStringjobfor 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 data base.

The company contact information can be found on the home page if you have other questions about the program.
