Web app for screen printers

Posted February 12th, 2011 by bcackerman

I've ran a screen printing shop for a while now and there just isn't any good solution that centralizes everything that's going on. So I decided why not make a simple web app to handle

-Orders and the status of them (including art approval)
-Payments from customers (including invoicing)
-Customers info
-Basic accounting

Anywho, we'll be finished developing it in two months.

Thanks! I'll definitely be posting up screenshots as they come along on the new forum as well.

If it ends up having a way for third party apps to tap in, let me know. We'd be interested in integrating that kind of functionality into http://runmyshop.com

I love you. We also tried the demos of all of the shop software that you mentioned in your blog. Shopworx seemed pretty good, but the pricetag is unreal. I'm excited to see the final product.

Hey guys. This post is ultra old but I've made huge progress on this webapp for us printers. It's called Printavo - http://printavo.com

I bought a Rails book and learned to code it after bad experiences with developers.

Anyway, Printavo allows you to see a calendar of orders due for that month, create a customer, create an invoice, email it, request art approve, collect payment, see income & expenses and more.

I just pushed a huge update last night to allow you to create line item based invoices which gives us the tools to add anything you'd like on there. Check it out and let me know your thoughts.
