Jay Malanga, President, ShopWorks
From 1988 – 1991 Jay worked as a mechanical engineer, designing satellites for NASA and the United States Air Force. Frustrated with working in a government organization (can you blame him?), he started a screen printing, embroidery and promotional product business in 1991. As that business (JAM Grafx) began to grow, Jay began designing an in-house database program to help alleviate the problems that accompanied the growth. From 1991 – 1997 JAM Grafx grew to a $1.3 million + business.
That in-house database product, after more years of development, became the first version of ShopWorks OnSite, the first unit of which was sold in 1998. Today, Jay continues system-level development of OnSite as well as being the overall manager for company operations. |
