The Reality

Most print shops don't lose money from lack of work.
They lose it in the workflow.

Spreadsheet Chaos

Quotes in Excel, orders on sticky notes, production status in someone's head. Nothing connects — until something goes wrong.

Missed Approvals

Artwork sent by email, buried in threads, approved verbally. Jobs move forward without sign-off. Reprints cost you twice.

Inventory Surprises

You don't know you're out of vinyl until the press is loaded and the client's deadline is today. Expensive, avoidable, recurring.

LaneSuite connects every moving part of your shop into one operational system.
Workflow, production, communication, inventory, and customer operations — unified.
Operational Visibility

See Your Entire Shop in Real Time.

From quote to production to invoice, LaneSuite gives your team complete operational visibility across every department.

Machine Intelligence

Know Your True Cost Per Job.

Most print shops guess at machine costs. LaneSuite calculates them from real inputs — depreciation, electricity, maintenance — and wires them directly into every job's BOM.

Advanced Machine Costing
Enter purchase price, useful life, electricity draw, and maintenance budget. LaneSuite calculates your true hourly rate automatically.
Consumable Tracking Per Machine
Attach ink, solvent, and media to each machine. Set auto-rate daily depletion or log usage manually. Low-stock alerts appear on the machine card before you run out mid-job.
Product BOM with Consumable Assignment
Build a bill of materials for every product. Assign consumables from your inventory directly — costs auto-populate into job costing the moment the product is added to an order.
Accurate Job Profitability
Machine time, consumables, labor, and materials all flow into the per-job profit calculator. See your true margin before the order ships.

Workflow Builder

Your Shop. Your Stages. Your Rules.

Traditional ERPs give you a fixed set of columns and call it a workflow. LaneSuite gives you a visual, drag-and-drop workflow builder — design exactly how jobs move through your shop and automate every handoff.

Replace rigid kanban boards with fully customizable production flows. Add stages, connect them, attach email automations to transitions, and change it all again tomorrow — no dev work required.

Visual drag-and-drop canvas
Build multi-stage production flows by connecting nodes on an infinite canvas. Reorder, branch, or restructure your pipeline in minutes.
Automated email at every transition
Attach an email trigger to any stage — artwork requests, order confirmations, shipping notices, pickup alerts — without writing code.
Custom stage names, icons & colors
Every node is yours to name and style. Your team sees your terminology, not ours.
Drives every board in the app
Your workflow stages power the Orders, Quotes, Artwork, and Fulfillment views. One source of truth, everywhere.
