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 past invoices with you: export them as CSV, drop them into Settings → Import, and PrinterFlo matches the columns for you. Pricing gets set up in the options library, and we'll do that with you, free.
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
Most systems let you export your customer list as a CSV or Excel file, and many export invoice or order history too. Price lists are hit and miss: some systems export them, many don't. Whatever SignTracker lets you export is yours to take.
- 02
Import it here
Settings → Import: drop the files in and check the columns PrinterFlo matched. Customers come in as customers, products with flat or per square foot prices, and past invoices, orders and payments as read-only history on each customer. Old invoice PDFs can go on too. Pricing formulas, matrices and tiers don't import. They get rebuilt in the options library, and we'll do that with you, free.
- 03
Bring the jobs you're still working on
Export your open orders from SignTracker too and drop them under Open orders. Each one becomes a live order on your board, its jobs in the column its status matches, with anything already paid counted on its balance. You tick which statuses come over, nothing emails your customers, and one click undoes the import.
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.
