CoreBridge alternative
The modern CoreBridge alternative for print & sign shops
CoreBridge is a capable cloud ERP for sign and print shops — estimates, production, and accounting in one system, now under the same roof as Cyrious. It's a serious tool with a serious footprint: ERP-style setup, ERP-style pricing, and a workflow you configure once and live with. PrinterFlo covers the day-to-day core — quoting from your own materials, a board your floor uses, approvals and payments — with custom stages you can rearrange over lunch, not a re-implementation.
CoreBridge exports your customers, orders and products cleanly, so there's nothing to untangle. Export to CSV, drop it into Settings → Import, and PrinterFlo matches the columns for you.
PrinterFlo vs CoreBridge
| CoreBridge | PrinterFlo | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Guided ERP onboarding, weeks | Pick a workflow template, enter your materials, quote the same day |
| Workflow stages | Configured once, heavyweight to change | Rename, recolor, drag to reorder any time — automations included |
| Order preview | Open the order screen | Click a board card — slide-over with items, statuses, and money |
| Pricing model | Templates and configuration | Spreadsheet-style options library: size × options, tiers, setup fees |
| Margin visibility | Reports | Cost / profit / margin % on every quote as you build it |
| Price | ERP pricing | Small-shop pricing, no implementation fees |
Switching from CoreBridge
The part everyone worries about, in three steps.
- 01
Export from CoreBridge
Every system this size will hand you a CSV of your customer list and your product or pricing list. That export is yours — you don't need anyone's permission to take it.
- 02
Import it here
Settings → Import, drop the CSV in, map the columns once. Your customers and your products land with their prices, so the pricing setup you spent hours building doesn't get rebuilt by hand.
- 03
Start new work here, finish old work there
Open orders, invoices and job history do NOT come across — no CSV carries them faithfully, and pretending otherwise is how migrations go wrong. Run the last few weeks of old jobs to completion where they live, and quote everything new in PrinterFlo.
Or don't do it yourself — send us the export.
We'll map and load your customers and products for you, check the prices came across right, and hand it back ready to quote from. No charge, and you don't have to be a customer first.
Where CoreBridge fits
Mid-size shops that want ERP depth (accounting, purchasing, multi-location) and have the budget and patience to implement it.
Why shops switch to PrinterFlo
- → ERP-grade setup and onboarding before you see value.
- → Workflow configuration is heavyweight — changing how your shop runs is a project.
- → Pricing sized for established shops, not a 2–10 person team.
- → Automation options are limited compared to what modern tools attach to custom stages.
CoreBridge alternative — FAQ
Is PrinterFlo a good CoreBridge alternative for a small sign shop?
If you need full ERP accounting and purchasing, CoreBridge earns its complexity. If what actually runs your day is quoting, a production board, approvals and getting paid, PrinterFlo does that for a fraction of the setup and cost.
Can I customize my workflow in PrinterFlo like in CoreBridge?
More easily. Stages are fully custom — name them, color them, drag to reorder — and you can attach automations to any stage, like emailing the customer their approval link the moment an order enters “Proof Sent.”
