Sign estimating and quoting software.
Build every sign quotation from what the job really takes: materials priced from your suppliers' lists, your own shop and install labor, and the margin you set.
How it works
From description to signed quote.
SignAcctPro does the math from the prices and rates you keep up to date. It does not guess your costs, so a quote is as accurate as the prices and rates behind it.
- Describe the signWrite it in plain words, like "two sets of channel letters, 24 inches, front-lit". SignAcctPro turns it into a sign spec you can check and change.
- Materials with real pricesEvery material line is priced from your own price lists, reference catalogs or a manufacturer's list, and shows where the price came from.
- Your rates, your marginAdd shop labor, travel and equipment from your rate library. Set your markup and a minimum margin so no quote goes out too low.
- Send for approvalYour client gets a private link, reads the quotation, signs and accepts it on any phone. No account is needed.
- The job starts itselfWhen the client accepts, the job is created with the materials list from the quote, ready for production.
What you get
Built for sign shops.
Your rate library
Keep your own labor, travel and equipment rates and your own price lists, and use them on every quote.
Versions locked when sent
Once a quotation is sent, that version is locked, so the prices stay exactly as the client saw them. Changes go in a new version.
Online approval with e-signature
Clients approve on their phone. You see when they opened it and when they signed.
Quotes in your client's language
Quotations and invoices can go out in each client's own language, with your logo and brand color.
Quote to invoice
Turn an approved quotation into an invoice, take a deposit, and compare the quoted cost with the real cost on the job.
Questions.
Where do the material prices come from?
From price lists you add yourself, from reference catalogs, and from manufacturers and suppliers who list their products in SignAcctPro. Each price line shows which list it came from.
Can I use my own labor and installation rates?
Yes. Your rate library holds your own labor, travel and equipment rates, and you set your markup and minimum margin.
Does my client need an account to approve a quote?
No. They open a private link, read the quotation, sign with a finger or mouse and accept it.
Is sign estimating software the same as sign quoting or sign pricing software?
They are parts of one task. Estimating works out what a sign costs you to make and install. Pricing adds your markup and margin. Quoting sends that price to the client as a document they can approve. SignAcctPro does all three in one screen.
How does it price channel letters, cabinets, banners and vinyl graphics?
By what the job needs, not by a fixed price per inch. You describe the sign, and the quotation lists its materials from your price lists with shop and install labor from your own rates. You can change any line before you send it.
What happens after the client accepts?
The quotation is marked approved, the job is created on your jobs board with the materials list from the quote, and you can turn it into an invoice when you are ready to bill.
