How it works

One workflow, start to finish.

Every job flows through the same proven stages. No dropped balls, no chasing emails, no sticky notes.

Quoting

Quote jobs accurately,
every time.

Stop guessing on materials and labor. AutoCalc handles the math so your quotes are profitable from the start.

  • Configure your substrates, labor rates, and margin once. AutoCalc prices every job automatically
  • Built-in material nesting fits jobs onto your substrate sheets and factors real waste into the price
  • Send professional quotes clients can review and approve

Design & Proofing

Proofing without the
back-and-forth headache.

Send proofs, collect feedback, and track every revision, all attached to the job and not buried in your inbox.

  • Upload design files directly to the job and share a proof link. No email attachments
  • Clients comment and approve with one click. No account required
  • Every revision request is logged against the job so your team always knows the full history

Production

See every job,
at every stage.

Your whole team stays aligned without a single status meeting. Everyone knows what's active, what's next, and what's done.

  • Four built-in roles - Admin, Sales, Designer, and Production - each with a tailored view so your team only sees what they need to act on
  • Rush and starred jobs surface automatically so nothing urgent slips through
  • Filter by due date, client, or install date to zero in on what matters right now
  • The right people get notified automatically when a job changes stage, a proof is approved, or a revision comes in. No manual follow-up needed.
