Printavo

Printavo is the leading cloud-based print shop management software designed specifically for screen printing, embroidery, DTG, DTF, sign shops, and promotional products businesses. Founded by a screen printer, Printavo serves over 3,000 shops worldwide and provides an intuitive all-in-one platform for managing quotes, orders, production workflows, invoicing, and customer relationships — eliminating the need for spreadsheets, whiteboards, and scattered paperwork.

What sets Printavo apart is its laser focus on the decorated apparel and print industry. Unlike generic project management tools, Printavo understands the unique workflow of print shops — from initial quote request through art approval, screen setup, production scheduling, and final delivery. The platform includes a visual production calendar, customer-facing portals for approvals, automated status notifications, and integrated payment processing so shops can get paid faster.

Key Features: Visual production scheduling calendar with drag-and-drop job management and color-coded workflow statuses, automated quote and invoice generation with customizable templates and line items, customer-facing approval portal where clients can review mockups and approve artwork digitally, integrated payment processing allowing shops to collect deposits and final payments online, production workflow tracking with customizable statuses from art approval through shipping, customer relationship management (CRM) with complete job history and communication logs, team task assignments and internal notes for seamless shop floor communication, QuickBooks integration for synchronized accounting and financial reporting, reporting and analytics dashboard for tracking revenue, production efficiency, and shop performance, mobile app for managing orders and production on the go, automated email notifications keeping customers informed of job progress, multi-location support for shops with multiple facilities, screen printing specific features including ink tracking and screen management, and a robust API for custom integrations with other business tools.

Pricing: Printavo offers three subscription tiers designed to scale with your print shop. The Starter plan begins at $49/month and includes core features like quoting, invoicing, and the production calendar for small shops. The Growth plan at $99/month adds advanced features including the customer approval portal, automated notifications, QuickBooks integration, and enhanced reporting for growing operations. The Premium plan at $199/month provides the full feature set including multi-location support, advanced analytics, priority support, and API access for established shops managing high volume. All plans include unlimited orders and customers, with a free trial available. Printavo notably does not take a percentage of sales, unlike some competitors that charge 3%+ transaction fees on top of subscription costs.

Use Cases: Screen printing shops managing daily production schedules and customer approvals, embroidery businesses tracking thread colors and stitch counts across multiple orders, DTG and DTF print operations needing efficient quote-to-delivery workflows, sign and banner shops coordinating large format production, promotional products distributors managing complex multi-item orders, and print shop owners seeking to replace manual whiteboards and spreadsheets with a professional digital system.
