DecoNetwork alternative
The modern DecoNetwork alternative for print & sign shops
DecoNetwork pairs shop management with customer-facing online stores for the decoration world — screen printing, embroidery, DTG. If selling through branded team stores is the business, that's what it's built for and it's a real strength. The recurring complaints from decorators are the other end of the job: production batching that reviewers describe as lacking, store-first complexity you carry whether you sell online or not, and pricing that has climbed steeply. PrinterFlo does the shop side — quoting, production, approvals, payment — with a storefront included rather than the other way round.
Bring your customers and products with you — export to CSV, drop it into Settings → Import, and PrinterFlo matches the columns for you.
PrinterFlo vs DecoNetwork
| DecoNetwork | PrinterFlo | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Decorated apparel + online stores | Decoration and sign/wide-format on one engine |
| Decoration pricing | Fixed matrix shapes per decoration type | Quantity breaks on any option — colours, stitch bands, add-ons |
| Production | Batching reviewers call lacking | Board filters by darks, screen set or hooping — batch by setup |
| Mixed output | Apparel-shaped | Apparel and signage quote side by side, same board |
| Customer flow | Online stores | Storefront, plus per-job approval and payment links |
Switching from DecoNetwork
The part everyone worries about, in three steps.
- 01
Export from DecoNetwork
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 DecoNetwork fits
Decorators whose business runs on branded online stores, and who are happy to manage production around them.
Why shops switch to PrinterFlo
- → Production batching is the consistent complaint in decorator reviews — the floor view is weaker than the store front-end.
- → Store-first complexity even if e-commerce isn't your model.
- → Steep price increases reported by long-time customers.
DecoNetwork alternative — FAQ
Is PrinterFlo a good DecoNetwork alternative?
If your value is in the online stores, DecoNetwork is built for that and PrinterFlo is a different trade-off. If the store is a side-door and the real problem is running production — batching setups, chasing approvals, collecting deposits — PrinterFlo is aimed squarely at that, and includes a storefront rather than building everything around one.
Should a sign shop pick PrinterFlo or DecoNetwork?
PrinterFlo. Materials-based pricing and proof/production workflows are native here; DecoNetwork's DNA is decorated apparel and stores. If you do both signs and apparel, PrinterFlo quotes them on the same system.
