Cornerstone
Systems Inc. (CSI)
CSI is a privately held company with
corporate offices in Crystal Lake, Illinois and a Customer Support
Center in Plano, Texas. Marshall Handelsman founded the company
in 1993, with the goal to provide heat treating, finishing, galvanizing
and coating job shops with an easy to use software program that's
affordable and would help them to manage their business activities
more efficiently. Prior to forming CSI, Marshall spent over 20 years
developing and installing software systems for these industries.
This experience was to become the foundation upon which Visual Shop
was built.
In the Spring of 1996, Visual Shop
was introduced. At last, heat treaters, finishers, galvanizers and
coaters had a windows based product that was developed for them.
They no longer had to make do with a job shop-manufacturing program.
Since that introduction in 1996, Visual Shop installations now number
well over 300 and are growing each day.

Then and now: (Left to right) Our original 400sq ft office
circa 1993, picture of our new server room, and a class at our last
user conference.
