Running a print shop means juggling quotes, production schedules, and financials, all while trying to grow your business. If you’ve ever lost track of profitability or spent hours entering the same data into multiple systems, you’re not alone. These pain points are exactly why more print professionals are turning to streamlined workflow automation.
Why Modern Print Shop Management Matters
Wide-format printing has evolved fast. What once required multiple software tools, and a lot of manual work can now be handled in a single integrated platform. ONYX Align represents this new approach: a browser-based solution built specifically for estimating, job tracking, and financial management.
Instead of switching between quoting tools, production systems, and accounting software, ONYX Align keeps everything in one place. You can create accurate quotes in seconds, follow jobs from inquiry to delivery, and monitor profitability in real time.

Current users are consistently reporting measurable improvements, including:
- Instant quoting: “When someone calls, I can quote instantly.” Faster responses mean more won jobs.
- Accurate, profitability tracking: “It saves so much time and has made me so much more money. No more guessing.”

Is Workflow Automation Right for You?
Ask yourself:

- Are you sure every job is profitable?

- Does your team follow consistent estimating and tracking processes?
If not, a centralized workflow solution can reduce errors, speed up quoting, improve pricing accuracy, and increase overall profitability.
