We run your print and marketing operations on software we built.
Not a plugin, not a folder of spreadsheets. A job board, digital proofing your customer signs off from their phone, a client portal, quoting and invoicing, a social workspace and a design studio — one system, in daily use. Work with us and you get a login on day one.
Print operations
The whole commercial life of a job, from the first enquiry to the invoice — with the proof step that usually costs a shop the most time built into the middle of it.
A proof that goes quiet is chased automatically — at 24 hours, and again at 72
Hold, work in progress, proof, approved, pending invoice. Drag a card to change its status; right-click for actions; select several and act on all of them.
Priced off a product catalog with tiers and options. Accept a quote and it becomes a live job — nobody re-types anything.
Invoice one job or bulk-invoice a customer across many, with invoice numbering, charges, payments and receipts tracked against the account.
Your customers submit new work with files attached and watch their own jobs move through your shop. Both ends get notified.
Jobs opened, proofs sent, approvals, average turnaround and the full job log, per customer, against the previous month — as a document you send them.
Bleed and trim marks, fit-to-size, resolution checks, safety margins, cut-contour paths and dimension annotation — the same tools we publish free.
That is what the proof loop does to a month.
Eighty-odd rounds of artwork out, marked up and signed off — without a single account created, a single file emailed back and forth, or anyone chasing an approval by phone. Every one of them timestamped against its job.
See what the report looks likeEvery month, your client gets this.
Jobs completed, proofs sent, how long approvals actually took and the full job log — generated per client from the work that went through, on your letterhead. It is the document that makes a renewal conversation short.
The figures above are a sample showing the format — the 80+ on this page is a real month of ours
Your customer never sees our name.
The approval screen is the one page in the whole system a print shop's own customer ever opens. It carries your logo, your shop name, your phone and email — and the browser tab reads “Proof for approval — your shop”.
That is structural, not a setting we remembered to add. The page loads its own stylesheet rather than sharing the back office's, because sharing one meant the client got our chrome and our accent colour instead of yours.
There is no login and no account to create. The link opens the proof, they zoom in on a phone, drop a pin exactly where the problem is, draw on it, and answer one of three ways. The sign-off is timestamped against the job and survives a withdrawn approval.
The five steps your customer seesSocial workspace
The same shape as the print track — the client approves before anything goes out — applied to content. Facebook and Instagram publish on their own; the rest is drafted, approved and scheduled in one place.
Approved and finalized posts publish themselves when their scheduled time arrives
A month and week calendar of what is going out, and a composer that writes once and adapts per platform.
Clients approve the brief and then each post, so nothing is published that nobody signed off.
Assets, brand kits and hashtag sets per client, so the right logo and the right palette are the ones to hand.
Facebook and Instagram connect through Meta's own OAuth. Tokens are encrypted at rest, and every publish is recorded per platform.
One recap for the client showing what went out, one for the team showing what is still owed.
Staff are scoped to the clients they work on, and that scoping fails closed — no assignment means no access, not full access.
Design studio
A canvas in the browser for the work that does not need a full desktop app: shapes, text, images, effects, layers, grouping and locking — set up for print and social output rather than for screens in general.
Print at 300 dpi with bleed shown · social at each platform's current recommended size
Business card, postcard, flyer and A4 at 300 dpi; posters at 150, which is what a poster is actually printed at. Custom sizes in millimetres.
Story, feed at 1:1 and 4:5, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and vertical cuts, each at the size the platform recommends now.
Every design keeps its versions and its comment thread, so a change can be discussed and undone without a new file.
Security
A print shop's job files, customer list and invoice history are commercially sensitive. What protects them here is worth stating plainly rather than gesturing at.
Every one of those is a mechanism in the code with a figure attached — the token length, the lockout threshold, the expiry. They are all written out on the security page.
