Sign maker software that prices the job the way you build it
Trays, built-up letters, vinyl and the install day priced as separate lines, each with its own supplier cost, so the margin on the quote survives to the invoice.
One record from survey to install sign-off
A shopfront is rarely one thing. It is a tray, a set of letters, a vinyl panel, an electrical connection and a day on a scissor lift, bought from four suppliers and remembered as one number.
- Every quote line carries supplier cost, mark-up and margin
- POs to multiple suppliers are raised from the job in one click
- Artwork approval is an eForm tied to the quote line

More about Zigaflow for Sign Makers
Zigaflow prices each of those as its own line carrying its own supplier cost, raises the purchase orders to every supplier from the job in one click, holds the artwork approval against the line it belongs to, and raises the invoice from the fitter's sign-off on site.
The problems we solve
Proofs live in email threads
Approval is a PDF attached to an email, and nobody can prove which version was signed when the wrong colour reaches the CNC.
The proof is approved against the quote line, dated and named, and the approved file stays attached to the job for the next reorder.
Materials and subcontract are guessed
Panel, vinyl, fabrication and the installer's day rate are priced from memory, and the real margin arrives with the supplier invoice.
Supplier cost sits on each line so margin is visible while you quote, and the PO raised from the job is what the supplier invoice is matched against.
Install sign-off is a phone call
The fitter finishes, the client is not there, and the invoice waits for a photo and a signature to come back in the van.
The eForm on the phone captures photos, snags and two signatures on site, and the invoice is raised from the completed job.
