There's a better way. ### The Old Way Customer emails with requirements - you drop what you're doing to calculate Open the spreadsheet, look up material costs, calculate dimensions manually Create a mockup, email back, wait for response, revise, repeat 15-30 minutes per quote - assuming no mistakes or changes ### The Sign Customiser Way Customer designs their sign with real-time visualisation and live pricing Your pricing rules automatically calculate materials, labour, and margins Customer checks out when ready - you receive the order with production files Zero time per quote - happens automatically, 24/7, even while you sleep ## Estimating That Actually Works Configure your pricing once, then let the software handle every calculation perfectly. ### Material Cost Calculation Price by actual material usage - whether that's linear metres of neon tube, square footage of acrylic, or number of letters. Your costs, your formulas. ### Labour Time Estimation Factor in production time based on complexity. More intricate designs can automatically include additional labour costs in the estimate. ### Margin Control Apply percentage markups, fixed fees, or tiered pricing. Ensure every job hits your target profit margin without manual calculation. ### Real-Time Updates As customers change fonts, sizes, or options, the estimate updates instantly. No refresh needed - they see their total in real-time. ### Multiple Pricing Models Choose from fixed-width tiers, material length calculation, area-based pricing, or custom formulas. Match your pricing to how you actually cost jobs. ### Option Add-Ons Dimmers, remote controls, waterproofing, rush production - add optional extras with fixed or percentage-based pricing. ## Reclaim Hours Every Week See how automated estimating transforms your daily workflow. 5-10 Hours Saved Weekly Time previously spent calculating quotes, creating mockups, and responding to pricing inquiries. 24/7 Quoting Availability Customers get instant estimates any time - evenings, weekends, holidays.

Sign estimating software automates the calculation of sign costs including materials, labour, and overhead. Instead of manually working out prices in spreadsheets, the software applies your pricing rules to each customer's design automatically. Sign Customiser takes this further by letting customers see estimates instantly as they design, turning estimates into orders. ### How accurate are the estimates from Sign Customiser? Estimates are as accurate as the pricing rules you configure. Sign Customiser lets you set up pricing based on exact material usage, character count, sign dimensions, complexity factors, and more. Many merchants report their automated estimates are more consistent than manual calculations because they eliminate human error and ensure every job is priced the same way. ### Can I set different pricing for different sign types? Yes, you can create unlimited customisers with different pricing rules. For example, you might price LED neon signs by material length, acrylic signs by square area, and vinyl lettering by character count. Each product line can have its own pricing formula, material costs, and markup percentages. ### Does the software integrate with my existing workflow? Sign Customiser integrates with your ecommerce platform (Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, etc.) so orders flow directly into your existing system. You can also set up email notifications to your manufacturers or production team with detailed specs for each order. ### How much time can I save with automated estimating? Most sign shops report saving 5-10 hours per week on quoting alone. Instead of spending 15-30 minutes per quote calculating costs and creating mockups, customers generate their own estimates instantly. This time savings compounds as your volume grows - the software handles 100 quotes as easily as 10. ## Related Sign Software Solutions Explore other ways Sign Customiser helps sign shops succeed online.
