SignTracker alternative
The modern SignTracker alternative for print & sign shops
SignTracker is honest, inexpensive software that keeps a small sign shop organized — quoting templates, job details, QuickBooks sync. Shops like it for exactly what it is. But it's a tracker, not an engine: pricing is template-based rather than built from your materials, there's no real production board, and nothing happens automatically. PrinterFlo sits a step up — same easy start, but with an options-based pricing engine, a drag-and-drop board, customer payments, and automations.
Bring your customers and products with you — export to CSV, drop it into Settings → Import, and PrinterFlo matches the columns for you.
PrinterFlo vs SignTracker
| SignTracker | PrinterFlo | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Quote templates | Size × your materials, quantity breaks, setup fees, live margin |
| Production view | Job lists | Drag-and-drop board with artwork thumbnails and order previews |
| Customer approvals | Manual emails | One-click link: review proofs, approve, pay the deposit |
| Automations | — | Stage changes trigger customer emails automatically |
| Follow-ups | Reminders you set | Stale quotes surface on the dashboard automatically |
| Price | Very low | Low — and it grows with you instead of capping out |
Switching from SignTracker
The part everyone worries about, in three steps.
- 01
Export from SignTracker
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 SignTracker fits
One-to-three person shops that mainly need organized job records and simple quoting at the lowest possible price.
