Quoting, the production calendar, the shop floor and customer hand-off run in one system. Stop paying four vendors to keep four half-answers about the same job.
Nobody loses an order on purpose. It gets lost in the gap between the tab that has the stock, the sheet that has the price, the board that has the schedule, and the text thread that has the change.
Proofs go out, decisions come back, and approved art is attached to the job — not buried in a Drive folder or an email thread.
Send a contract printer a link, not a PDF. They see the work order and imprint spec; blind-ship to your customer with your name on the box.
Set $/piece and setup per method and quantity tier once. Every quote prices itself against your rates — screen, DTF, DTG, embroidery.
Spin up a white-labeled storefront per client with Stripe or PayPal checkout. Orders land in the same queue as everything else.
Misprints get logged at the press, so your piece counts and your reorders are honest by Friday instead of a guess.
Manager, sales and operator each get the view they need. The tablet at the press doesn't show your margins.
Live means live — you can use it this week. Anything still in progress says so.
We're not going to pretend there are five hundred shops on this. Ink Works was built on a real floor to solve a real mess, it's in pilot with shops printing production work on it right now, and we're onboarding a small number more by hand.
That's the trade: you get a system shaped around how your shop actually runs, and direct access to the person building it.
Presses, seats and volume differ too much between a two-press shop and a ten-station decorator to put a number on a page. Tell us what you run and we'll give you a straight price on the call.
Bring one live job — we'll quote it, book it on a press, run it across the floor terminal and hand it off, so you see exactly what your Monday looks like on Ink Works.
