What Is Print Shop Software?

Print shop software (also known as print shop management software or print MIS) is a digital command center for your printing business. It centralizes and automates the core tasks that keep your shop running, including:

• Quoting and Estimating: Quickly generating accurate quotes for custom print jobs, taking into account materials, labor, and markup.
  
• Order Management: Converting quotes to orders, scheduling jobs, and tracking each order’s progress from start to finish.
  
• Proofing and Approval: Handling artwork proofs and revisions through an online system where customers can review and approve designs.
  
• Production Management: Organizing your job tickets, workflow steps, and deadlines so nothing falls through the cracks.
  
• Inventory, Materials and Purchasing: Managing materials and inventory levels, and even creating purchase orders to restock supplies or blanks.
  
• Invoicing and Payments: Creating invoices, recording payments, and integrating with accounting systems for seamless financial management.
  
• Customer Management (CRM): Storing customer details, order history, and communications to deliver a more personalized service and repeat business.
  

In short, a good print shop software acts as the nerve center of your business. Instead of jumping between spreadsheets, email inboxes, and various apps, everything is unified in one place. This not only saves you time but also reduces errors and improves communication across your team.

Why Your Print Business Needs an All-in-One Solution

Running a print shop without an integrated management system can feel like trying to assemble a puzzle with missing pieces. Here are a few common challenges print shop owners face – and how an all-in-one solution like shopVOX helps solve them:

• Disorganized Workflows: Without a central system, you might use separate tools for quoting, tracking jobs, and invoicing. This patchwork approach leads to information silos and things getting overlooked. With shopVOX, everything is connected. The moment a quote is approved, it can become a job on your digital job board. All job details, artwork proofs, and customer info are stored together, so you always see the full picture at a glance.
  
• Inconsistent Pricing and Costing: Quoting projects manually (or using guesswork) is risky. Underestimate your costs and you lose profit; overestimate and you might lose the bid. shopVOX’s print software takes the guesswork out of pricing. You can build customizable pricing templates for all your products – from business cards, flyers, NCR Forms to decorated apparel or signage projects  – ensuring accurate, consistent quotes every time. The system accounts for your materials, production time, quantity breaks, and markup formulas, so you know your quotes are both competitive and profitable.
  
• Missed Deadlines & Lost Orders: In a busy shop, it’s alarmingly easy for an order form or email to go missing. Without proper order tracking, a job might sit unfinished or a deadline could slip by unnoticed. A print shop management platform keeps your orders on track. shopVOX provides a real-time production calendar and job tracking board that makes it clear what stage every job is in. You can assign tasks to team members and set due dates for each step. Automatic status updates and notifications ensure that everyone knows when a job is awaiting approval, in production, or ready for pickup. Nothing falls through the cracks, and you never miss a due date.
  
• Inefficient Proof Approval: Emailing PDF proofs back and forth to clients can become a mess of long threads, version confusion, and delayed responses. This slows down your production and increases the chance of printing the wrong version of artwork. shopVOX solves this with an integrated online proofing tool. Your customer gets a notification to review the proof in an online portal, where they can approve it with one click or request changes with comments. All feedback stays attached to the job, and everyone (customer, designer, sales rep, etc.) can see the revision history. Only the approved proof moves forward to production, virtually eliminating mistakes due to miscommunication.
  
• Inventory Headaches: Balancing inventory for a print shop or apparel shop is tricky. Too much inventory ties up cash, while too little means you can’t fulfill orders on time. If you’re manually tracking stock or purchase orders, it’s easy to order the wrong items or forget to reorder in time. A robust print shop software like shopVOX can include  inventory and purchasing management to keep you on top of supplies. For example, shopVOX can compile a purchasing list of blanks or materials needed for your open orders. It integrates with some vendor catalogs or you can upload your own custom catalogs), so you can quickly find and order the right products. The system will alert you when stock is low or when items are on order, helping you maintain optimal inventory levels and avoid production delays.
  
• Fragmented Customer Experience: Keeping customers happy and informed is crucial. But if you’re using one system for quoting, another for emails, and sticky notes to remember customer preferences, details will slip. With an all-in-one solution, you provide a seamless customer experience. shopVOX stores each customer’s information and order history in one place. You can quickly see what products a client has ordered before, their past quotes, and any notes from previous interactions. The platform also allows automated updates to customers (for example, sending an email when their order status changes, or providing tracking info when an order ships). Plus, shopVOX PRO offers a free Customer Portal for repeat clients to view their account or an expanded paid Customer Portal – enabling them to approve proofs or even place reorders online without needing constant back-and-forth communication. This level of convenience and responsiveness keeps customers satisfied and coming back.
  
• Time-Consuming Admin and Errors: Tasks like re-entering data into QuickBooks, manually creating invoices, or updating spreadsheets are not just tedious – they introduce opportunities for errors. A typo in an invoice or a forgotten entry can cause billing issues and waste time correcting mistakes. shopVOX eliminates double-entry and automates admin work. It integrates directly with accounting software like QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage(UK/IE only). That means your invoices, payments, and expenses in shopVOXcan sync to your accounting system with a click. You can even take online payments via Stripe or Square, so you get paid faster and the payment records flow right into your books. Fewer manual steps lead to fewer errors and more time saved.
  

Ultimately, adopting a comprehensive print shop management software translates to improved efficiency, better accuracy, and enhanced profitability. You and your team can focus more on delivering quality products and growing the business, and less on putting out fires or chasing paperwork.

Key Features of shopVOX Print Shop Software

Let’s dive into the standout features and tools that make shopVOX an all-in-one print shop software. These features are designed with real-world print, sign, and apparel shops in mind, built to tackle everyday challenges:

Super-Fast Setup and Ease of Use

You don’t have weeks or months to spend learning complicated new software – and with shopVOX, you won’t need to. shopVOX Express is quick to set up and easy to use, even for busy shop owners. In fact, you can get your account configured in less than an hour and start seeing benefits on Day 1. The platform provides a guided setup wizard that walks you through entering your shop’s key details, such as:

• Hourly shop rate & costs: Define your labor rate and overhead once, so the system can factor it into pricing calculations.
  
• Product Templates & Pricing: Load your products (signs, print items, apparel, etc.) into the system using pre-built templates. Simply input your material costs, typical production times, and desired markups. (Don’t worry, you can adjust them anytime.) This ensures your quotes and orders will use consistent pricing from the start.
  
• Tax rates & Customers: Import your tax settings and even upload your existing customer list via CSV, or sync customers from QuickBooks in one click. All your contacts and tax rules will be ready to go.
  
• Team Members & Roles: Add your employees/users to shopVOX and assign user roles or permissions. Whether it’s a designer who should only see design tasks, or a manager who can see all financials, you have control over who sees what. The whole team stays connected and informed through the platform.
  

The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, with no need for advanced technical skills. If you can use common office software, you can navigate shopVOX with ease. And if you do need guidance, shopVOX provides on-screen tips, a help center, and even on-demand webinars to help you get comfortable quickly. In short, shopVOX has done the hard work behind the scenes, so you can hit the ground running with minimal setup time.

Dynamic Quoting and Estimating

Pricing custom jobs is one of the most critical – and time-consuming – tasks in a print shop. ShopVOX’s quoting tool removes the hassle and ensures accuracy. With shopVOX, you can generate quotes for anything from simple single-item orders to complex, multi-part projects in just a few clicks. Key aspects of the quoting feature include:

• Customizable Pricing Templates: shopVOX comes with pre-built templates for common products across the print and sign industry. For example, you’ll find templates for banners, vehicle wraps, decals, screen printed shirts, embroidery, business cards, brochures, and more. Each template can be tailored to match your exact production process and cost structure. Depending on the version, you can set up pricing formulas based on unit, each or area (sq. ft./sq. m.), add tiered quantity discounts, and include extra options (like rush fees, artwork charges, number of colors or print locations for apparel, etc.). Once set up, these templates let you crank out quotes in seconds, not hours.
  
• Accurate Costing and Markups: No more guessing. The quoting engine factors in all the variables you’ve configured – material costs, labor time, machine setup, waste allowances, markups – to calculate a true cost and suggested price for each job. You can adjust margins on the fly or offer custom discounts when needed, and the software will show you the impact on profit. This means every quote you send is priced for profitability and consistency.
  
• Quote to Order Conversion: When a customer gives the green light, converting a quote to a live job is instant. One click and the quote becomes a work order (or as we call it Sales Order) with all the details (line items, quantities, prices, customer info) carried over. This seamless transition saves time and prevents data entry mistakes, so production can begin without delay.
  
• Professional Proposals and Invoices: shopVOX enables you to send polished, branded quotes and invoices via email or in the customer portal. You can customize your quote templates to include your logo, terms, and even product images or mockups. Clients can accept the quote electronically, and you’ll be notified right away. A fast and smooth quoting process not only wins you more business (customers appreciate quick responses) but also projects a professional image for your company.
  

Bottom line: The shopVOX quoting feature ensures you price your work correctly and consistently, every single time. It’s like having a seasoned estimator or personal assistant on staff 24/7, handling the heavy lifting of calculations so you can focus on closing sales.

Online Proofing and Customer Approvals

In the print and signage world, getting client approval on artwork is a pivotal step. shopVOX makes this step effortless with its integrated online proofing system. Say goodbye to confusing email chains and delayed feedback – shopVOX streamlines proofing as follows:

• Centralized Proof Management: For each job, you can upload artwork files or design mockups directly to shopVOXand send a proof notification to the client. The client receives a secure link to view the proof online. No login required for them – it’s simple and client-friendly.
  
• Annotated Feedback & Version Tracking: Customers can leave comments (for example, “move this logo up” or “change this color”). If they request edits, your design team can upload a revised proof. shopVOX keeps track of all versions and comments in one thread, tied to the job. Everyone stays on the same page about which version is current and what feedback was given.
  
• One-Click Approval: When the proof looks good, the client just hits “Approve.” Immediately, the job status in shopVOX updates to Approved, and your team gets notified. The approved artwork file clearly identified on the digital or paper work or (job ticket). This eliminates any chance of printing from the wrong file – a common and costly mistake when proofs are handled via scattered emails.
  
• Faster Turnaround: With real-time updates and no need for in-person sign-offs or scanning signatures, the proofing cycle is dramatically shortened. Many print shops find that using shopVOX’s proofing tool cuts their approval time from days to mere hours. Faster approvals = faster production = happier customers and more capacity for new orders.
  
• Professional Record Keeping: Every approved proof and all customer communications are stored with the order. Later on, if there’s a dispute or a repeat order, you have a clear record of what was approved, when, and by whom. This protects your business and builds trust with clients that you have a reliable process.
  

By simplifying proof approvals, shopVOX helps you avoid misunderstandings and keep jobs moving forward swiftly. Clients will love how easy it is to review and approve their prints, and your team will love how much time and frustration this feature saves them.

Job Management and Workflow Tracking

Once an order is in production, the challenge is keeping everything organized and on schedule. shopVOX excels here with robust job management features that give you complete control and visibility over your production floor:

• Digital Job Board: Think of it as a virtual whiteboard that displays all your jobs and their current status. You can view jobs in multiple ways – as cards on a board that you drag-and-drop through stages (Kanban style), as a calendar showing deadlines, or as a list/spreadsheet with filters. Customize your workflow stages to match your process (e.g., Design,Pre Press, Finishing, Ready for Pickup, etc. for a print shop, or art approval, burning screens, printing, curing, etc. for a screen print shop). This flexibility means shopVOX PRO can adapt to any custom workflow your shop uses.
  
• Task Assignment and Scheduling: Each job can be broken into tasks or steps, and assigned to specific team members or departments. For example, you might assign the pre-press task to a designer and the printing task to a machine operator. Team members can update the job status as they complete their part, and you can see who is responsible for the next step. Color-coded indicators or alerts can highlight if a job is approaching its deadline or if a task is overdue, allowing you to take action proactively. Note that shopVOX Express has limited access to customization of workflows.
  
• Real-Time Status Updates: Forget walking the shop floor or calling meetings just to find out where jobs stand. At a glance, shopVOX shows you how many jobs are in progress, which are waiting on customer input (like proof approval), and which are ready for delivery or shipping. . Everyone on your team sees the same information, so whether they’re at their desk or on the shop floor (or even checking from home), they know exactly what needs to be done next.
  
• Time Tracking and Job Costing (Pro Only) i : For shops that want to dig deeper into efficiency, shopVOX lets you log time spent on each job or each task. Over time, this data is gold: you can measure how long certain types of jobs actually take, which informs your future scheduling and pricing. Did a job go over the estimated time? You’ll know why and can adjust your process or quote next time. shopVOX essentially provides built-in job costing to ensure your projects stay on budget.
  
• Custom Tags and Filters: You can tag orders with custom labels (e.g., “Urgent”, “Waiting for Customer”, “Hold for Payment”, etc.) to categorize and filter them. This makes it easy to pull up, say, all jobs that are waiting on something or all jobs assigned to a particular person. It’s a simple feature that greatly enhances how you manage a high volume of orders without feeling overwhelmed.
  
• Easy Reordering: Since every completed job stays in the system, handling reorders is a breeze. If a customer comes back months later asking for a repeat of a previous order, you can find the original order (along with its artwork, specs, and pricing) in seconds. With one click, duplicate it as a new order, make any needed tweaks, and you’re set – no need to re-enter all the details from scratch. This encourages repeat business and makes your regular customers feel taken care of.
  

With shopVOX’s job management, you move from reactive firefighting to proactive production control. You’ll know exactly what’s happening in your shop at all times, make informed decisions on scheduling, and ensure that every job is delivered on time. It’s like having a personal project manager keeping everything on track, 24/7.

Integrated CRM and Customer Service Tools

Growing a successful print shop isn’t just about managing jobs; it’s about managing relationships. shopVOX includes basic CRM (Customer Relationship Management) capabilities to help you provide top-notch service and capitalize on sales opportunities:

• Customer Database: All your customers (leads, current clients, past clients) reside in shopVOX’s database with complete contact information and notes. You can import an existing list of customers or add new ones on the fly. Having this centralized database means any team member can quickly look up a customer’s info, see their order history, or note special requirements (like preferred paper type or branding colors).
  
• Order History and Insights: For each customer, you can view every quote, order, invoice, and payment associated with them. This historical view is invaluable for understanding the client’s needs and value. For example, before a sales call or meeting, you might check the customer profile to see what they ordered last, how much they’ve spent over the past year, and whether any quotes are still pending. It equips you to approach them with relevant information (“How did those banners we printed last spring work out for you? We have a new material that might interest you for your next event…”).
  
• Lead and Opportunity Tracking: Some shopVOX users take advantage of the platform to track sales leads – perhaps inquiries that haven’t turned into quotes yet. You can create a quote or estimate for a prospect and keep it in the system, even if it’s not approved yet. In this way, shopVOX functions as a light CRM to manage your sales pipeline. The fact that one of shopVOX’s customer success stories mentions having “sales leads and orders in one platform” highlights how useful this can be for bigger operations with a dedicated sales team.
  
• Automated Notifications & Communication: To keep customers in the loop, shopVOX can send automated emails at key points (for example, when a quote is sent, when an order is ready for pickup, or when a proof is awaiting approval). You can usually customize these templates to match your tone and branding. This consistent communication reassures customers that their job is moving along and reduces the number of “just checking in” calls you receive. Plus, with shopVOX’s online proofing and payment features, customers are more engaged in the process, which leads to a smoother experience for them.
  
• Customer Portal: As mentioned earlier, shopVOX PRO  offers a portal where your customers can log in to do things like view and approve proofs, see past orders, and even place new orders from pre-defined templates or reorders (With Ecommerce Add on). This is a huge convenience for corporate clients or frequent buyers – they get self-service access to their account with you. It deepens their loyalty because it’s so easy to keep coming back to your shop for repeat projects.
  

By leveraging these customer management tools, you turn shopVOX into more than just production software – it becomes a platform to deliver superior customer service. In the print business, that level of service is often what sets you apart from competitors and keeps clients returning with new orders.

Seamless Integrations (Accounting, Payments, and More)

No software is an island – especially not one that covers as many bases as your print shop management. shopVOX recognizes this by providing integrations with other popular tools and platforms, ensuring your data flows smoothly where it needs to:

• Accounting Software Integration: One of shopVOX’s biggest time-savers is its integration with accounting packages like QuickBooks (Online and Desktop), Xero, Netsuite and Sage. Once connected, you won’t have to enter invoices twice or manually reconcile sales in your accounting system. When you create an invoice in shopVOX (or mark an order as paid), that information can sync to QuickBooks, updating the customer’s record and your financial statements. Likewise, you can pull in your chart of accounts, tax codes, and customer list from QuickBooks during initial setup, which speeds up implementation. This deep integration means no more double entry and fewer accounting headaches. Your accountant (or your own bookkeeping side) will thank you.
  
• Online Payments: Today’s customers often prefer the convenience of paying online by credit card. shopVOX integrates with Stripe, Square, Authorize.net, Quickbooks Payments to enable secure payment processing directly through the invoices you send. For example, you email a customer their invoice from shopVOX, and the invoice has a “Pay Now” link. They can click it and pay via credit card immediately. The payment status updates in shopVOX, and if integrated, in QuickBooks or Xero (Sage in the UK) as well. Faster payments improve your cash flow and make the whole transaction seamless for customers.
  
• Vendor Catalogs and Purchasing: For apparel decoration businesses especially, shopVOX’s integration with vendor catalogs is a game changer. It connects with custom product catalogs. This allows you to search and select products business cards, stationary etc.) from within shopVOX when creating a quote or order. You get product details like colors, sizes, SKU numbers, and even costs. Once the order is confirmed, you can generate purchase orders to your suppliers with a click, since the system knows exactly which and how many items you need for each job. You even create a custom material list with the supplies you actually use for production complete with specific vendor pricing (PRO feature).  By bridging your shop management with supplier data, shopVOX saves you from manually cross-referencing catalogs or making ordering mistakes.
  
• Email and Calendar: Using our popular Pro @mail feature brings the your inbox into the shopVOX platform for easily linking the detailed email and attachments to transactions, customers or jobs.
  
• Open API and Add-Ons: shopVOX also provides additional modules (like the E-Commerce Suite, Service Jobs, and smartWrap which we’ll discuss separately) and possibly an API for advanced users. The E-Commerce Suite allows you to add an online storefront or build custom order forms that tie into shopVOX – great for offering web-to-print services or letting customers  order items on your website, with orders flowing into shopVOXautomatically. 

In summary, shopVOX plays well with others. By centralizing your business operations with shopVOX and then integrating with the tools you already use (or will need to use as you grow), it becomes a central hub that connects your entire business ecosystem. This integration prowess is a key differentiator that ensures adopting shopVOX doesn’t mean uprooting everything else, but rather enhancing it.

Business Intelligence and Reporting

Making informed decisions is easier when you have data at your fingertips. shopVOX helps you glean insights from your operations with built-in reporting and business intelligence features, particularly in the shopVOXPro edition:

• Dashboard Metrics: From the moment you log in, you can have a snapshot view of your business health. This might include metrics like total sales this month, number of open orders, quotes awaiting approval, and so on. Visual charts can show sales trends or job throughput over time. One user noted they use the Sales Goals Dashboard to track performance against targets, meaning shopVOX allows setting sales goals and then monitors progress toward them in real-time.
  
• Custom Reports: Need to know your top-selling product categories, or which customers are your biggest accounts? Want to analyze how long your average job takes from order to delivery? ShopVOX’s reporting module lets you run various reports on sales, jobs, productivity, and more. You can filter and slice the data (e.g., show me sales by product type, or jobs completed by each employee). These insights help you identify bottlenecks and opportunities. For instance, a report might reveal that signage jobs under $500 are taking disproportionately long to produce – indicating a need to adjust pricing or process. Or you might find that a certain customer has consistently large orders each quarter, prompting you to reach out proactively for their next project.
  
• Real-Time Updates: Because shopVOX is cloud-based and all-in-one, the data in your reports is always up to date. As soon as an invoice is paid or a job is completed, that’s reflected in your analytics. This real-time aspect is crucial for making timely decisions (for example, noticing mid-month that sales are lagging and launching a quick promotion to boost business).
  
• Exportable Data: You can export some data from shopVOX (to Excel or CSV) if you want to do deeper analysis or share info with others. But many businesses find that the built-in analytics more than suffices for day-to-day management and high-level planning.
  

By utilizing these reporting tools, you gain visibility into every aspect of your print shop – from financials to production efficiency. It’s like having a bird’s-eye view and a magnifying glass at the same time. You’ll be able to confidently answer questions about how your business is doing and back up decisions with solid data.

Scalability and Cloud Convenience

Whether you’re a small print shop just starting out or a large multi-location operation, shopVOX is built to scale with you:

• Cloud-Based Access: shopVOX is a cloud software (SaaS), which means you can access it from any computer or device with an internet connection. There’s no server to maintain and no software to install locally. This is incredibly convenient – if you’re at home or traveling, you can still log in to check on jobs or enter a new order. Also, multiple users can be in the system at once from different locations (your sales rep could be creating a quote from their home office while your designer checks job specs at the shop simultaneously). All data is stored securely in the cloud, with backups and encryption, so you don’t have to worry about data loss or IT overhead. During events like sudden remote work situations, a cloud system proves its value by keeping your business running from anywhere.
  
• Multi-User and Role Management: Add as many users as you need as your team grows. You can control their access with roles (for example, you might have an “Estimator” role, “Designer” role, “Production Manager” role, etc., each with appropriate permissions). This means you can confidently expand usage of the software to your whole team without risking sensitive info being seen by everyone. As your company grows, shopVOX grows with you – there’s no limit in sight whether you have 2 or 200 users.
  
• Express vs. Pro Versions: shopVOX offers two versions of its software – shopVOX Express and shopVOX Pro. Express is ideal for small to medium shops that need core features at an affordable price point, whereas Pro offers more advanced capabilities (such as deeper reporting analytics, custom workflows, and possibly higher levels of support) for businesses that need the full power. The great part is that you can start with Express (which is quick to set up) and, if you find you need more advanced features down the line, upgrade to Pro seamlessly. Whichever plan you choose, you’re on the same platform, so there’s no re-learning.

• Continuous Updates and Support: As a cloud platform, shopVOX is constantly being improved. New features, enhancements, and security updates roll out to users regularly – often automatically. You don’t have to manually install new versions; you’ll just notice your software getting better over time. This ensures you’re always at the cutting edge of print shop management tech. And if you need help at any point, shopVOX’s support team is there (more on that next). The scalability isn’t just about software capacity, it’s also about having a partner that supports you as your needs evolve.
  

shopVOX is designed to be a long-term solution that adapts to your business over time. You won’t outgrow it – instead, it will help you grow. Whether you expand into new product lines (say you start with screen printing and later add large-format printing), or you open a second location, or your order volume doubles, you can count on the software to handle it. This future-proof aspect gives you peace of mind that investing time into shopVOX now will pay off for years to come.

The team strives to answer questions quickly so you’re not stuck waiting and can keep your workflow moving.

Why Choose shopVOX for Your Print Shop?

We’ve covered a lot of ground, so let’s recap the key reasons shopVOX stands out as the best print shop software for your business:

• All-in-One Functionality: shopVOX consolidates quoting, order management, proofing, scheduling, inventory, invoicing, and more into one platform. You no longer need separate apps or spreadsheets – everything is organized in one system. This not only saves time and reduces errors, but it provides a 360° view of your operations at all times.
  
• Built for Print, Sign, and Apparel Industries: Unlike generic project management or invoicing tools, shopVOX is purpose-built for the graphics and customization industry. The features (templates, catalogs, workflows) are tailored to common products and processes in print shops and sign shops. It can handle the nuances of things like multiple print methods, outsourcing certain jobs, tracking customer-supplied materials, etc. shopVOX isn’t a one-size-fits-all; it’s a bespoke suit for your business category.
