Print MIS Software for Sign & Display Printers
Sign and display businesses deal with short deadlines, client-specific specifications, and jobs that often include installation at the end. A single order might cover multiple sign types, different substrates, cutting and finishing, and a site visit to install. Printlogic manages the full workflow - from a substrate-specific estimate through production, finishing, installation scheduling, and invoicing - without requiring a separate system for any part of it.
How sign & display businesses use Printlogic
-
Step 1 - Substrate and process estimating
Printlogic estimates sign and display jobs based on configured substrate costs, print process rates, cutting and finishing charges, and installation fees. Trade supplier pricing from Tradeprint and Route 1 Print pulls directly into outsourced component estimates. Multi-item orders - a set of banners, window graphics, and a display stand - estimate as a single quote with separate line items.
-
Step 2 - Production and finishing tracking
Jobs move through defined stages - print, laminate, cut, mount, finish - each tracked separately. Print floor screens display the current queue to production staff. Rush jobs are flagged and prioritised without reorganising the whole schedule manually.
-
Step 3 - Installation scheduling
Installation jobs carry an installation date and site details in the job record. The installation date is visible in the production schedule alongside the print and finishing timeline. Delivery dockets for installation jobs carry full site details.
-
Step 4 - Invoicing
Completed sign jobs invoice from the job record. Multi-component jobs - print, finishing, and installation - invoice as a single document. Invoices export to Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, or MYOB.
Substrate-specific estimating - configure materials, print processes, cutting, laminating, and installation; quotes reflect your actual cost structure for sign work
Multi-stage production tracking - track print, finishing, and installation as separate milestones on the same job
Installation scheduling - installation dates and site details recorded in the job record and visible in the production schedule
Trade supplier integration - pull live pricing from Tradeprint and Route 1 Print for outsourced sign components
White-label delivery dockets - client-facing delivery and installation documentation carries your branding
How it connects
Sign and display businesses run a mix of own-production and outsourced work, often on the same job. Printlogic tracks both on the same job record - own-production items costed through your configured rates, outsourced items purchased through supplier POs, all tracked through to the same delivery and the same invoice. If sign is your primary business, Printlogic covers your workflow without requiring specialist configuration for that sector.
