Managing your jobs can be frustrating and inefficient, with Post-it notes here, spreadsheets there, emails over there, etc. But you don't have a lot of money to spend on a job management solution, nor do you need or even want anything fancy. Work allows you to simply and effectively organize your jobs, providing one common source of emails, file storage, notes, scheduling calendars and more.
Expensive, full-featured "project management" solutions for sign and graphic companies are wonderful... if that's what you want/will use/can afford. But you sure don't want to pay for things that you're not going to use. Work is intentionally simple while still offering more than enough value to be GREAT bang for the buck!
Setting up estimating software is notoriously complicated and time consuming. Spend less time entering and managing material costs and more time getting jobs with Work's user friendly quoting platform. We use the same calculations that you do, only we put them in an easy to follow format that Works the way you do.
We're not here to tell you that Work will allow you to just kick back, put your feet up and watch as everything just magically happens around you, but... it will consolidate all of your job details and contacts and files and notes and appointments and emails etc. in one place where you and the rest of your team can easily access them.
Customer relationships are your foundation for success. Work can store all of your customers' details, including location specific contacts (for customers with multiple locations) and past, present and future job details, making all of this valuable information oh so readily accessible.
Even if you're a full-service shop or a "jack of all trades" you still have some number of other companies that provide you with goods or services as / when needed. Add your vendors to Work so you know who to call when you need "x". In addition to maintaining contact details and freeform notes for them, you can even upload and store their W9's and COI's!
From scheduling your installs to managing your jobs and personal tasks, this innovative calendar eliminates your scheduling headaches!
That's it! The availability of the resources you selected are updated on the calendar, keeping your entire team in the loop.
Work's integrated file manager allows you to store all of your job files in one place where you and your colleagues can easily find them.
Files are saved job-specifically, and you can create custom folders allowing you to be as organized as you want!
And, oh yea. You can easily upload files and photos from your phone...
Give your hippocampus 1 a break by accessing customer and job details and your calendar of events on any mobile device.
Work also allows you to easily upload job files and photos from your phone, which is, to use technical terminology... super handy.
1 Disclaimer - we had to look that up, but apparently "...most available evidence suggests that the functions of memory are carried out by the hippocampus and other related structures in the temporal lobe".
Work's email history provides quick and easy access to all of your team members' job related emails sent and received through Work.
And customizable email templates allow for simple and consistent email communication.
Your employees can easily track time spent on jobs with Work's Intuitive time-tracking feature. Clock in and out from anywhere, desktop or mobile device. Export reports for payroll, billing or job costing. It's all there and simple to use.
Imagine a world where folders and spreadsheet reporting are no more. Gain immediate visibility on how you did on a job. Forecast and maintain records for billing, quotes and estimates for specific jobs and customer history.
As rhythmically as that rolls off the tongue, the real poetry in motion is the way that Work allows you to easily, click-of-the-mouse send job details to your teammates whether they're at their desk or in the field.
Synchronize your customers, transactions, invoices, and billing history in Work with QuickBooks Online integration.
Connecting your QuickBooks Online and Work accounts will allow you to import QuickBooks Online customers into Work as new customers, display transactions in Work for QuickBooks Online customers and export Work customers into QuickBooks Online as new customers.
Eliminate confusion and make sure everyone is on the same page by capturing the who, what, when, where and why details of your job and presenting a professional looking Job Order document to your customer for their "sign off" approval.
Nothing need fall through the cracks as Work's comprehensive reporting includes company wide, cross-job time tracking per selected timeframe and team member(s) as well as printable and exportable job lists that are sortable and filterable by customer, location, type and stage.

Since the early dot-com days - 1999 to be exact - we've been connecting dots between problems and solutions for the sign and graphics industry. In our more than 25 years of working alongside sign shops from all over North America, one commonly voiced dilemma has been heard over and over again:
Work allows you to simply and effectively organize your jobs. And priced at just $45 a month, the bang for the buck couldn't be any louder.
Get those ducks in a row or find that matching sock. You pick the analogy.
Your jobs aren't always simple, but your job management tools should be.
Bang meet buck. For just $45 a month, Work is bang for the buck personified.
