Supplier-connected quoting
Garment costs from S&S, SanMar, and PromoStandards land in the quote builder. Decoration and overhead show margin before send. Fewer "close enough" numbers on decorated apparel that kill profit on rush jobs.

Software that knows blanks, decoration, and margin
Quote from live supplier costs on S&S, SanMar, and PromoStandards. Run the board the way your floor actually works: art, screens, print, embellish, ship. See press time, ink, and margin before you call the job done.
Workflow
How a job moves in this shop type
Pull blanks from the catalog
Search connected supplier catalogs from the quote builder. Pick style, color, and size; garment cost lands on the line. No copying numbers from last year's spreadsheet or the supplier website in another tab. Short Run counts catalog adds; Full Run is unlimited.
Price decoration with your matrices
Screen print, embroidery, DTF, and add-ons use your shop decoration matrices. Stitch counts, color counts, and location fees apply per your rules. Margin shows on the quote before you send. Rush fees and setup charges can sit on the line or in shop fees.
Send proof and get approval
Customer approves from a proof link. Revision history stays on the quote. When they sign off, convert to a sales order without retyping line items or decoration specs. Production and art see the same approved files.
Run production on the board
Board, list, or machine queue. Move jobs through stages your shop uses. Work orders carry tasks for screens, print, embellish, and ship. Floor lead assigns crew and due dates. QR scan opens the job from the press.
Track press time and reorder
On The Full Run, start press runs from floor mobile. Piece counts and pauses feed job costing. Happy customers reorder through merch stores, customer portals, or a new quote with history on the customer record.
Why shops pick OBPrint
Built around this work
Press time on the job
Run timers, pauses, and piece counts from the floor on The Full Run. Costing reflects what happened on press, not a flat labor rate you guessed in January. Owners see which SKUs and decoration types eat time.
Proofs that stick to the order
Approval links sync to the sales order and work order. Art and revision history stay with production. Crew does not run an old proof because it was stuck in someone's inbox.
Ink and materials on real jobs
Track ink, screens, and supplies by job. Scan QR codes from the floor to update usage. Material cost sits next to labor in job costing so you know if the matrix still holds.
Merch stores for repeat programs
Schools, teams, and companies reorder through customer storefronts on The Full Run. Orders become sales orders on your board with the same decoration rules you quoted the first time.
Deep dive
Apparel detail
Blanks and supplier catalogs
Connect tenant supplier credentials. Search by brand, style, or SKU. Inventory signals and catalog price pull into the line. You still control sell price and margin; the system starts from real garment cost.
Decoration matrices
Screen print by color count and location. Embroidery by stitch count or flat rate. DTF, vinyl, and add-ons follow the same quote flow. Matrices live in shop settings so estimators and OB-5 drafts use the same rules.
Proofs and approvals
Token-gated proof links for customers. Approve or request changes. Sync to sales order when approved. MockLab mockups on The Full Run help sell the job before production starts.
Press and floor mobile
Timed runs per press with piece progress. Pause when the floor stops. Issues log on the job. Press activity rolls into job costing so owners compare quoted run time to actual run time.
Merch and reorders
Publish storefronts for repeat buyers. Guest checkout into production. Short Run can draft stores; live publish needs Full Run. Reorder history on the customer record speeds the next quote.
Quoting
Margin updates as the quote builds
Blank cost, decoration, fees, and overhead land on each line as you build. Sell price and estimated shop cost update before the customer sees a number. Approved quotes convert to a sales order without retyping the line.
- Search S&S, SanMar, and PromoStandards from the quote builder
- Decoration matrices for screen print, embroidery, DTF, and add-ons
- Overhead and shop fees roll into margin on every line
- Approved quote becomes a sales order with specs intact

Production
One board for how your floor runs
Move jobs through stages your shop actually uses. Due dates, rush flags, and machine assignments stay visible. Board, list, calendar, and machine queue views read the same job record.

- Install board for field work when the job leaves the shop

Press
Press time feeds the cost
Start a run from the floor, count pieces, pause when the press pauses, and log issues when something goes wrong. Run time and piece progress attach to the production job. On The Full Run, that activity feeds job costing instead of a flat labor guess.
- Run timers and piece counts from floor mobile
- See which presses are running, idle, or queued
- Pause and issue logging when the floor stops
- Press activity ties to job costing on The Full Run
