GlasPacLX

Overview

GlasPacLX is point-of-sale and shop-management software built for auto, residential, and commercial glass businesses. It is best suited to shops that want estimating, job coordination, inventory, and billing tailored to glass work. Its specialized coverage is substantial, but each core license is limited to one user and carries a $599 onboarding fee.

Key features

Estimating and job coordination

Auto glass teams can search NAGS and OEM parts by VIN or license plate, while RightGlass identifies replacement parts from a VIN. Scheduling accounts for available times, installers, and service areas, and integrates with Google Maps. Together, those tools connect vehicle-specific estimates with dispatch and appointment tracking.

Flat and residential glass estimating supports custom shapes, more than 50 predefined shapes, product-specific price lists, and shower installations. Commercial glazing adds retainage deductions, one-click AIA forms, attached job documents, and GDS Software integration for storefront estimating. This depth makes the Complete plan the clearest fit for shops spanning these types of work.

Suppliers, billing, and accounting

Connections to PGW, Pilkington, and Mygrant support supplier ordering, while inventory tools cover sourcing, stocking rules, and reorder alerts. Insurer billing uses EDI, with GLAXIS connections to LYNX and GNCS and invoicing support through Harmon or Safelite. QuickBooks integration can sync customer and vendor accounts, post invoices and cash sales, and update inventory accounting. These integrations are relevant to shops trying to keep purchasing and financial records connected to daily jobs.

Field work, reporting, and hosting

GlasPacLX Mobile supports field credit-card processing described as PCI DSS compliant and electronic signatures. The separate Mobile Add-on adds Google Maps directions, job updates, photos, and field payments. More than 100 pre-built reports use live-updated data and can be saved and exported, giving managers a broad reporting set without limiting them to fixed views.

Online Hosting provides internet access from tablets, iPads, PCs, or Macs, daily backups across servers in two geographic locations, and automatic NAGS updates. GTS offers phone and email support, with an initial helpdesk response within two business days and weekday phone hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST, excluding holidays.

Pricing

There is no free plan or free trial, so shops must commit to a paid license and onboarding before evaluating the full system. Core subscriptions have no annual contract, but each license includes one user; additional staff may require separate licenses or the mobile add-on.

• Auto — $70 a month: For auto glass shops, with one user per license and a $599 onboarding fee per license. It is the focused option for businesses centered on vehicle glass.
• Residential — $75 a month: For residential glass shops, also one user per license and a $599 onboarding fee. It adds a residential-specific plan rather than requiring the broader Complete tier.
• Complete — $85 a month: For auto, residential, and commercial glass shops, with one user per license and a $599 onboarding fee. The $10 monthly premium over Residential buys the broadest stated coverage for mixed operations.
• Online Hosting — $50 a month: Billed per GlasPacLX user, for each additional user license. It adds hosted internet access, daily backups in two geographic locations, and automatic NAGS updates; this is an additional hosting cost, not a substitute for a core shop plan.
• Mobile Add-on — $45 a month: Billed per additional technician, plus a $75 one-time setup fee per technician. It adds directions, job updates, photos, and field payments, so shops with technicians working in the field should account for both recurring and setup costs.

Platforms

GlasPacLX supports Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. The Online Hosting option extends access over the internet from tablets, iPads, PCs, or Macs, which may suit teams that need access across device types.

Who it's for

GlasPacLX is a strong fit for glass shops whose work depends on trade-specific estimating, supplier ordering, insurer billing, and scheduling. Auto-only and residential-only businesses can choose a narrower plan, while shops mixing auto, residential, and commercial jobs have a stated all-segment option. Its one-user-per-license structure and upfront onboarding charge make it less appealing to buyers seeking a low-cost trial or broad user access under one license.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Specialized estimating spans vehicle parts lookup, shaped flat-glass work, shower installations, and commercial glazing tasks, reducing the need to fit these workflows into a generic shop system.
• Pro: Supplier, insurer, and QuickBooks connections cover purchasing and financial handoffs that are central to glass-shop operations.
• Pro: More than 100 live-updated reports can be saved and exported, supporting operational review beyond a small fixed report set.
• Con: Each core license covers one user and has a $599 onboarding fee, which raises the entry cost for shops adding staff.
• Con: There is no free plan or trial, so buyers cannot start with a no-cost evaluation.
• Con: Hosting and mobile capabilities add separate per-user or per-technician charges, plus a mobile setup fee.

Alternatives

For another paid glass-contractor option, compare Glass Contractor Software.

• RFMS may suit buyers who want Android, iOS, web, Windows, and API platform support; its RFMS Core ERP pricing is custom pricing and requires a demo request.
• Glazier is another paid option for Android, iOS, and web; fees are set in an Order Form and billed monthly unless otherwise provided.
• Baka Glass is worth considering when cutting optimization, machine connections, live production dashboards, and floor scanning are priorities; Baka Production has custom pricing.
• GlaziersEdge is another paid glass software option, with a free trial and Android, iOS, and Windows support.
• Auto Glass CRM may be a better fit for a small shop seeking a 14-day trial: Starter is $79 a month, billed monthly, for one shop and five users.
• GlassManager may suit shops considering a multi-user structure: Lite is $65 a month per full user, with a $12 monthly field-user charge, a $495 setup fee, a two-user minimum, 100 GB storage, and limits of one location and two departments.
• Glazier Studio is another paid option licensed per location, with custom pricing and two feature levels.
• Mitchell RepairCenter is another paid option supporting Android, iOS, and Windows.

Verdict

Glass businesses that need trade-specific estimating, scheduling, inventory, and billing should shortlist GlasPacLX, particularly if they handle more than one segment and can use its Complete plan. Its strongest reason to choose it is the breadth of glass-focused workflows and integrations; its strongest reason to look elsewhere is the per-license onboarding cost and one-user limit, compounded by add-on charges for hosting and mobile technicians.
