  • Where can I get estimating software from?

    I know this has been asked before but I can’t find any topics on this.
    Does anyone use estimating software for wrapping and digital print?
    Where can I get this from?

    Clarity, based in the midlands do a sign specific package for signmakers. I know they have a module or wizzard as they call it, that covers digital printing.

    We base it solely on the area. We’ve worked out what we want to charge per square metre and price accordingly.

    I price everything using Estimate software.

    But, I do also check using the Australian Sign Pricing Guide 😀

    Clarity and others simply work out everything on a per square metre basis.

    So it’s not rocket science to do it the same way without paying for fancy software.

    I think, and dont hold me to it, that Clarity have introduced a module that calculates the wastage as well as the print density ??? – I may be wrong.

    Like already mentioned by the previous member, it’s not a complex calculation – a simple spreadsheet could do this and allow for a percentage for wastage.
