Sign shop job management →Sign shop software for sign companies
Sign shop management software that shows what’s happening. And what needs doing next.
SignBas3 is sign shop software that keeps enquiries, quotes, artwork, LED layouts, print production, jobs, schedules, purchasing, time and invoices together. Your team works from the same job instead of rebuilding it across inboxes and spreadsheets.
Built from real sign-company workflows. Available worldwide.
One job, all the way through
One sign shop management system from enquiry to invoice.
SignBas3 connects CRM, estimating, artwork approval, production, scheduling, purchasing, installation, job costing and accounting around the same job. The number, scope, files, dates, costs and decisions travel with the work instead of being rebuilt by every department.
At the counter
Capture the enquiry, find the client, prepare the quote and keep every revision and acceptance on record.
Sign estimating and quoting →Behind the numbers
Bring supplier spend, labour, invoicing and reporting together so the commercial result is visible before the job is over.
Sign shop job costing and invoicing →Sales and job control
What was sold stays connected to what gets made.
Quotes have a proper issue and acceptance history. When work becomes a job, the commercial trail remains available to production instead of being flattened into a disconnected job sheet.
25demo quotes across draft, issued, accepted and declined
20active demo jobs with tasks, dates and labour
Quote calculator import
Already priced it in Excel? Bring the working with you.
Upload a compatible SignBas3 pricing workbook. The quote builder brings in editable sell lines, job task hours, purchasing allowances and client details, then keeps the original workbook with the quote.

Client DetailsCustomer context
Review before issue. Nothing is sent or accepted just because it was imported.
Artwork approvals
The client approves a version—not an email attachment.
Every proof keeps its place in the history. Clients can review the current PDF, comment on it, request changes or approve it. The response records the person, time and exact version.
Review in the browser
Zoom, comment, highlight and draw directly over the proof.
Keep the earlier versions
Superseded proofs and requested changes stay visible.
Release the right file
Production can see which version the client actually approved.
LED Layout Studio
Turn approved artwork into a buildable LED plan.
Built around
Upload the face, calibrate its real size and let SignBas3 map the illumination package. The layout follows the artwork, sizes the power supply and keeps the materials, sell price and production PDF on the job.
Follow the actual contours
Trace the supplied face rather than estimating a rectangle around it. Thin artwork annotations can be ignored so modules land where the sign will be illuminated.
Modules, watts and supplies
See quantity, spacing, watts, lumens, series limits and power-supply loading before the job reaches the bench.
Quote it and order with confidence
Carry the Bounce LED product detail and calculated cost into the job, then use the production pack to confirm the supplier order.
Eleven Bounce LED module families are built in, from Mini and Micro through Blaster, Matrix Plus and Spectrum RGB.
Explore the LED Layout Studio →Fitch AI scheduler
Let Fitch build the first draft of the week.
Fitch starts with incomplete job tasks, existing bookings, staff capabilities and up to six months of actual timesheet history. It lays a proposed week over the live scheduler. Nothing is committed in the background.

Incomplete job tasksRemaining hours & due datesExisting bookingsUp to 6 months of timesheetsStaff capabilities
Analyse the selected week
Fitch considers every eligible team member, protects existing assignments and prepares blocks in the open space.
Interrogate the draft
Open each proposal to see the person, job, task, time, confidence and the reason behind the match.
Apply it—or throw it away
An authorised administrator can apply the reviewed blocks or discard the proposal. The live data is checked again before anything is written.
The planner stays in charge.Fitch is tenant opt-in, existing commitments are protected, and
every generated schedule remains a draft until approval.
Reporting
Start with the decision. Build the report around it.
Use live production, workload, profitability, financial and exception views—or describe the report you need. SignBas3 checks the available records, builds multiple pages and shows the recipe before you rely on it.

HP PrintOS connector
See the printers. Follow every metre back to the job.
Works with
PrintOS
PrintOS
The connector makes the print room part of the job workflow. SignBas3 watches HP Latex production, reads the job number from the print filename and carries the real output, substrate and ink usage into the operational record.
Start the filename with the SignBas3 job number.
Track the press, file, progress, substrate and queue.
The production record is associated with the right work.
Area, substrate and ink move into job Financials.
Configurable thresholds warn the right people early.
Selected cartridges are prepared for the preferred supplier.
From file to financials
The filename does more than label the artwork.
When it begins with the SignBas3 job number, the HP production record can be checked against that job. The team sees what ran, where it ran and what it actually consumed.
- Current and completed production
- Real printed area and ink use
- Substrate and production mode
- Review state before cost is committed
Before the press stops
Low ink becomes a purchasing task, not a surprise.
SignBas3 keeps the HP 832 and HP 882/886 cartridge levels visible beside the production workflow. Supplies below the chosen threshold are selected into a stock purchase-order draft for a person to check.
- Thresholds set for each printer
- Repeat alerts held for 24 hours
- Preferred ink supplier applied
- No external order issued without review
Human control at the commercial boundary: monitoring and matching are automatic; replenishment is prepared as a reviewable draft before an order is issued.
Explore the HP PrintOS connector →Purchasing and costs
See what has been ordered, received and spent against the job.
Purchase orders, suppliers, receipts and bills stay connected to the work. Receiving can happen close to the delivery, while accounts retains the authorisation and export trail.
Explore purchasing →
Invoicing
Accounts sees the state of every invoice without losing the job behind it.
Draft, awaiting payment, part-paid, overdue and paid invoices are visible together, with totals that can be checked back to the canonical records.
Explore job financials →Google Drive & Dropbox storage
Your job files. Your company storage.
Connect Google Drive or Dropbox and turn your company storage into a job archive everyone can use. Documents and photos stay organised from first enquiry through production, installation and completion.
Google Drive
Bring familiar Drive folders into the job workflow so the right documents and photos stay easy to find.
Dropbox
Connect Dropbox to every job and keep documents and photos organised in one dependable structure.
Xero, MYOB & QuickBooks accounting
Run the job here. Keep the books where finance works.
SignBas3→
The useful accounting data already exists in the job. SignBas3 turns approved invoices, supplier costs and weekly timesheets into connected Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks workflows, then keeps the accounting picture visible to the people running the work.
Accounts, tax and tracking
Set income and cost account codes, sales and purchase tax types, the provider-specific mapping fields used by finance.
Your invoice, your structure
Choose how approved job and supplier detail is prepared for the connected accounting provider.
Review the handoff
Finance and payroll own the mappings and export settings. Everyone can see queued, synced, failed and paid states without chasing updates.
One clear boundary: SignBas3 runs sales, production, purchasing, time and job performance. Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks remains the company accounting and payroll system.

Sign shop software questions
What sign companies need to know before choosing a system.
The right platform should connect the whole operating workflow—not simply replace one spreadsheet while leaving every handover intact.
What is sign shop software and what does it manage?
Sign shop software connects enquiries, estimates, artwork approvals, production, scheduling, purchasing, installation, labour, invoicing and reporting around each job.
Is SignBas3 built specifically for sign companies?
Yes. SignBas3 is built around sign manufacturing, wide-format print, vehicle wrap and installation workflows—not generic project management.
Does SignBas3 replace accounting software?
SignBas3 runs sign-shop operations while Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks remains the accounting system. Approved records move into the selected accounting workflow.
Can SignBas3 manage artwork, production and installation together?
Yes. Accepted scope, proof versions, production tasks, purchases, schedule, site information and completion evidence stay connected to the same job.
Can a sign company move from WorkflowMax to SignBas3?
SignBas3 provides a guided path through source preparation, mapping, imported records and representative reconciliation before the team relies on the result.
How should a sign shop compare management software?
Put one representative job through quoting, artwork, production, purchasing, installation, costing and accounting. The useful system preserves the story through every handover.
