A print shop production board that runs on your stages.
Every garment and every print, in the stage it has actually reached — because the floor logged it, not because somebody remembered to change a dropdown.

The board, with one job opened. Seven line items on the spirit pack, sitting in six different stages — one of them paused.
Your columns, not ours
ManagePrint is modular on purpose. The columns aren't a workflow we think your shop should run — they're the stages your shop already runs, stored as records you can edit.
Most production software ships one pipeline and asks the shop to translate. ManagePrint asks the other way around: add a stage, rename one, pick its color, drag the columns into the order your work moves in. The board reads whatever it finds and draws that.
Below is the order board of a shop that kept six stages and renamed every one of them. Nothing was configured in code — an admin typed those names into settings, and the dot colors, the count pills, and the column order all follow. Screen printing, embroidery, DTF: apparel decorating production tracking only works if it matches the shop doing the decorating.
Two boards, one set of jobs. The order board tracks where an order sits in your pipeline, in your names. The production board above tracks what the floor has physically done to each piece, in the six workflow stages the iPad buttons advance through. The same job shows up on both, and the order's status dot rides along on its scheduler card.

Six columns, six status records the shop owns. Drag a card to a different column and the order's status changes.
Three of the seeded stages can't be deleted — other parts of the app key off them — but they can be renamed and recolored like any other, and nothing can be deleted while orders still sit in it. See how workflow configuration works.
Job tracking software that records the floor, not someone's memory
A worker taps one big button on an iPad — Start Prep, End Job, Pause. That tap appends a row to the job's event log: who, what, which part, which print location, to the second. The stage moves because of the row. Nobody picks a status.
The log is append-only, so the board is never a claim about what happened — it's a read of what happened. And because the timestamps are real, the same log is what the phase analytics are computed from.
| The tap | The row | The stage |
|---|---|---|
| Start Prep | prep_start | In Prep |
| End Prep & Request Approval | prep_end + approval_request | Awaiting Approval |
| Photos Approved | approval_received | Approved |
| Start Job | job_start | In Production |
| Complete this print | job_end | next print, or Completed |
| Pause / Resume | pause · unpause | clock stops |

One line item's log, front print. Every row on it is a tap on the floor.
Paused time is measured, then subtracted
Out of ink, waiting on a fix, gone to lunch — a worker pauses, and the pause is logged like any other event. When ManagePrint reports how long a phase took, it subtracts the time that phase spent paused.
Pause is tracked per run, not per job. If two parts of the same job are paused over the same ten minutes, that costs the job ten minutes of clock, not twenty — the intervals are unioned before they're subtracted. That's the difference between a number you can quote a customer from and one you can't.
Production scheduling software for screen printing
The board says where work is. The scheduler says when it runs. Same jobs, same records — you're laying out the week, not maintaining a second copy of it.
Schedule
A week, laid out. Unscheduled work sits in the tray until somebody drops it on a day.
Drag it onto a day
Everything unscheduled sits in a dashed tray across the top. Drag a job out of the tray onto a day and it's scheduled; drag it back and it isn't. Day, week, and month views all take the same drop.
Drag it into order
Within a day, the order you leave the cards in is the order the day runs. That order is saved per job, so what you set on Friday is still what the floor sees Monday.
Set the order status inline
Every card carries a colored dot in the corner — the order's status, in your shop's own colors. Click it and pick a different one without leaving the calendar.
Put a name on it
Assign the job to a worker straight from the card. If different print locations on the same job have different people on them, the icon changes to say so.
One job, many pieces, moving at different speeds
Real orders aren't one thing. They're four garments, three colorways, and two prints each — and they don't finish at the same time.
Each piece has its own stage
The hoodies can be on press while the caps are still waiting on a proof. Each line item carries its own stage, its own assigned worker, and its own pause state, and the job's status is rolled up from all of them.
Front done isn't job done
A line item tracks each print location separately — the board shows 1/2, 0/3, 2/2 right on the card. Finishing one sends that part back to pick its next location rather than closing it out early.
Four colorways, one pass
Garments priced together press together — same screens, same setup. So they advance together on one tap, and they record one event, not four. Logging it four times would inflate every average you look at later.
Finding the job you actually need
Small things, but they're the difference between a board people check and a board people ignore.
Filters that match how you ask the question
Search by job name, invoice number, or customer. Narrow to one worker, or to one stage, or to one scheduled date — there's a Today button that toggles it in a tap. Sort by scheduled date or newest first, and hide completed jobs, which is on by default.
The board tells you how many filters are on, so a quiet board is never mistaken for an empty one.
A screen on the wall, no login
Generate a Team View link and open it on the TV over the presses. It's read-only and needs no account: today's jobs, a per-worker overview, and shop status, on three tabs.
Revoke the link whenever you want and it stops working immediately. Generating a new one gives you a new address.
