Fierce Shop ManagerSoftware for every kind of print shop
Built for the shop that does all of it
Most shops are not one trade. They are a press, a couple of embroidery heads, a printer that does gang sheets, and a plotter in the corner for signs. This is written for that shop, not for one department of it.
Screen printing, embroidery and DTF software
Apparel decorators
A tee order is never one number. It is a size grid, a garment colour list, three print locations, a screen charge that should only be billed once, and a customer who wants to see it before you burn anything. All of that sits on one line item here, and the proof goes out from the same screen.
- Size grids by colour, with the quantity and the price on one row
- Print locations added one at a time, each with its own size and charge
- Screens and digitizing charged once per job, not once per sheet
- Blank costs pulled live from S&S, so a price rise does not quietly eat the margin
- Names and numbers taken as a list instead of a spreadsheet emailed back and forth
Sign shop and large format software
Sign and banner shops
Width times height, times the material you stock, times your markup. Grommets, hems and pole pockets are finishes, not guesswork. A twelve-foot banner and a yard sign come off the same table without either of them being a special case.
- Price per square foot by material, kept in your own table
- Signs quoted in plain inches, the way the customer asks for them
- Cards, flyers, hangers, brochures and NCR priced by run size
- Finishes that do not move the price stay off the price
- Cut lines drawn and exported without opening another program
Vehicle wrap shop software
Wrap shops
A full wrap is not a one-hour slot. Pick the vehicle, pick the coverage, and the job takes the bay for the days it needs instead of showing up as a single appointment that nobody can plan around.
- Vehicle and coverage picked from a list, priced off your own rates
- Bays booked by the hour, and long jobs holding the days they take
- Removal, prep and design time as their own charges
- Photo proofs the customer signs off before the vinyl is cut
- The approved art on the printed work order, not in somebody's inbox
Laser engraving software
Engraving shops
Laser time is the cost. Set what a minute on your machine is worth, say how long the file runs, and the price follows — whether it is one award or three hundred tumblers.
- Run time per piece times your own machine rate
- Setup and fixturing charged once for the job
- Quantity breaks that reflect a single long run, not many short ones
- Personalization lists taken as data, so every piece is named correctly
- The same proof and approval flow as everything else
Commercial print shop software
Commercial print
Business cards, flyers, door hangers, brochures and carbonless forms priced from the run sizes you buy and the markup you want, with the trade printer's own chart sitting behind it when you use one.
- Your cost plus your markup, per run size
- A contract printer's chart held in the app instead of a PDF on the desktop
- Paper, finish and turnaround as separate, visible charges
- Proof approval before anything goes to the printer
- Invoices and balances that match what you actually ordered
