Printavo is an easy to use, cloud-based tool for print, embroidery, promotional product shops to manage their shop. It helps you keep your shop organized by handling scheduling, estimating, quote approvals, workflow, payments, accounting, and more. Started in 2012 by a former screen printer, Bruce Ackerman, Printavo was a way to help solve a business need. Bruce started a print shop in Champaign,
IL, and quickly realized the difficulty in managing workflow, approvals, scheduling, and more with a growing team. He felt the solutions offered were unnecessarily complex and not focused on the core aspects of their business. Printavo was created to help solve that need for Bruce Ackerman’s print shop and others in the area. Five years later, Printavo serves a whole variety of printing businesses all over the world. The need to organize, optimize workflow, and increase efficiency is crucial when growing a print shop. Printavo works with shops from 1 to 50 employees in size to help solve this need in a progressive way. Mobile accessibility has been at the core of Printavo as many shops utilize tablets, and smartphones to be quicker and more responsive to their customer’s needs. Multiple location shops are becoming common, owners want to check-in at any time, sales reps are on the road, production teams are constantly in motion which makes mobile compatibility crucial. Printavo has solved this by allowing access on any device paired with a dedicated iPhone app. Printavo has partnered with vendors like SanMar, AlphaBroder, S&S Activewear, QuickBooks, Stripe, PayPal, and more to allow for seamless integration into printing businesses.
