Features
Everything your print shop needs
Nine modules, one system. No spreadsheets, no WhatsApp threads, no lost jobs.
01
Job Management
Create, assign, and track print jobs through a full 9-stage pipeline. Timeline view shows every status change with who made it and when.
02
Quotations
Generate professional QT-YYYY-XXXX quotes in seconds. Convert approved quotes to jobs with one tap — no re-entering data.
03
Client & Supplier
Maintain complete profiles for clients and suppliers. Soft-delete keeps history intact while hiding inactive records from daily views.
04
Machine Management
Track every press, cutter, and finisher. Log maintenance records and spare-part usage so nothing catches you off-guard.
05
Delivery Tracking
Assign drivers, set delivery windows, and move deliveries from Pending → Scheduled → Dispatched → Delivered with a single tap.
06
Invoicing & PDF
Auto-generate polished PDF invoices. Sequential numbering, line-item breakdowns, and instant sharing directly from the app.
07
Artwork & Proof Approvals
Upload artwork files, send proofs to clients, and collect approval or revision feedback — all tracked against the job record.
08
Real-Time Notifications
Push notifications keep your whole team in sync. Sound alerts and per-user preferences ensure the right person always knows first.
09
Multi-Tenant Architecture
Each print shop is a fully isolated tenant. Your data stays yours — perfect for agencies managing multiple client shops.
Quote to job
One tap from approved quote to live job
Quote numbers, line items, client details and materials all carry across. Nobody retypes anything, and the job lands on the board with its full history attached.
- Sequential QT-YYYY-XXXX numbering
- Client-facing PDF, sent from the app
- Approval writes straight into the pipeline
Machines
Every press has a service history
Log maintenance, spare parts and downtime against the machine itself. When a press starts costing you money, the record already shows why.
- Maintenance and repair logs per machine
- Spare-part usage and stock tracking
- Operators log status from the shop floor
Supplier portal
Suppliers see their jobs. Nothing else.
A separate portal login gives each supplier isolated, read-only access to the work that involves them — materials, delivery windows, assigned jobs.
- Separate portal login, isolated data
- Own materials and delivery visibility
- Xero and QuickBooks Online sync on invoices
