We built Printer's Friend because we ran a print shop. The tools we needed didn't exist. So we made them.
In 2024 we were running a small screen print shop in inner Sydney. Three of us, four presses, and 80+ orders a month. The chaos was eating us alive.
We tried DecoNetwork, OnPrintShop, Printavo. They were either too American, too expensive, or assumed your shop already had IT staff. So we built our own. Today 127 shops across AU, the US and the UK run on it.
Generic order management software treats every product like an Amazon listing. Print shops live and die by approval cycles, ink costs and rush windows. Our software is shaped around that.
The big enterprise systems charge $400+ per month before they touch your shop. The free ones leave you in spreadsheets. We split the difference: the same depth at a price a 3 person shop can carry.
The portal, the approval links, the SMS chasers, the YTD spend visible to the customer: all designed so your shop wins on relationship, not on price.
