Quotes priced by your own grids

Screen print by colors and quantity, DTF by transfer size, embroidery by stitch count. Build the grid once (or import it from CSV) and every quote prices itself.

Artwork approvals and a customer portal

Send a quote link, let the customer approve the proof, and keep every revision on the order instead of in an email thread.

Production board and calendar

See what is printing today, what is waiting on art or blanks, and what ships this week.

Inventory and blank ordering

Track blanks and supplies, and place SanMar orders from the order screen.

Invoices and payments

Turn an approved quote into an order and an invoice, and take payment online.

Shopify storefront sync

Pull web orders from your Shopify store straight into production.
