A lot of business management software solutions, those that promise to help sign manufacturers easily manage and optimize everything from CRM to the shop floor, were developed as one-size-fits-all applications that didn’t take the challenges of custom sign manufacturing into account.
The first indication of a solution that doesn’t overwhelm you with bloated features (and price tags) is one that was developed by people who actually took the time to talk to sign manufacturing organizations, refining their feature list based on the best practices that drive successful sign enterprises.
It’s conversations like these that result in a comprehensive set of business modules that actually make sense for the custom sign manufacturer. All your key departments—sales, estimating, production, finance, and leadership—have the power of true collaboration, working together to drive productivity and profit. This means more accurate bids, more efficient production, and better analytic insight that helps leadership teams visualize the business in a new way, remediating current problems and better preparing them to guide the team through the next bend in the road.
In the past, software for small- and mid-sized sign manufacturers meant heavy investment, painful implementation, and complex, costly upgrades-all for a set of functionality that wasn’t even designed for your business. In addition, functionality gaps still meant working manually with other systems (spreadsheet tracking, meetings and white boards) to fill the gaps. But with the Web-based (Cloud) delivery of KeyedIn® Manufacturing, the costs and implementation time take a nosedive while your ability to work together and manage every aspect of your business skyrockets.
If you want to see the difference between a clunky, expensive, generic system that was built for large companies but marketed to small ones, and a solution that was built with direct input from successful sign manufacturing leaders, get in touch today to book a demo with one of our experts, who will take you through exactly how KeyedIn Manufacturing – Sign Edition can bring your sales, operations, and finance to the next level.
