Machine shop software

[eski1]

Hello
I have just taken over the reins of a small machining shop
Could you tell me what helpful planning software do people use
As in planning jobs , time , machines etc
At the moment i write down every job that comes in on a peice of paper with its delivery date , job no , company ,etc etc etc
There must be an easier way
Help

Have fun. Give this list a good look through as there are software that is tailored to different type shops.

This is also a good magazine to get on a regular basis.

When I first started to look for this type software there were two options, one cost $25 and the $3000.
