Printing and signage, job by job. Quotes, proofs and production connected.
Print and sign businesses run many small jobs with different substrates, finishes and deadlines. Dika Ops turns each quote into a job ticket, tracks proofs and materials, and carries the job through production, delivery or installation to the invoice.
What slows printing & signage down.
Every job differs in size, substrate, finish and quantity. Pricing by hand leads to inconsistent margins.
Customers change artwork and approve late. Printing the wrong version wastes material and time.
Vinyl, board, paper and ink are bought in rolls and sheets. Running out mid-job delays delivery.
Signs and large prints need delivery slots, vehicles and sometimes fitting on site by a crew.

Printing & signage, answered.
Can a quote become a job ticket?
Yes. An accepted quote becomes the basis for the work order, with its lines, materials and notes.
Can we keep track of proof approvals?
Notes and documents can be attached to the quote and the job, so the approved version is recorded against it.
Can we manage stock of rolls and sheets?
Yes. Materials are held in stock by location and unit, and shortages can be turned into purchase orders.
Can we plan on-site installation?
Yes. Deliveries and installations can be planned as trips with stops, and the status flows back to the order.
