Interactive to-do lists for every person

Deadlines are getting shorter and jobs more complex. People need clear, prioritised lists of work they can trust.

Our rich, table views that allow everyone to know exactly what to do next and where it sits in an order's timeline.

Give the team everything they need to get the order right

As soon as an inquiry becomes an order you need to pass the information onto the designer (or next step to be done).

However sometimes you may need to do something to unblock an order to ensure it meets the deadline.

Our Customer Service view gives you a clear list of what needs to be done for any order.

You can even set up automations to avoid having to get involved & reduce your workload.

Work from a clear brief & then send a proof in 1-click

Unclear briefs are the bane of any designers life - not any more. Each part of the brief is separated out and clear.

Once your design is ready, either send internally for approval or direct to the customer in a single click.

Split tasks into create design and pre-press if you wish to suit different team member's skill set, or simply to break up your day.

Sub-contract or manufacture in-house: Tools to do both.

The aim is to make your custom product right first time.

Reduce support emails with order tracking

Orders for custom products usually take longer to fulfil than simple pick & pack operations.

However, customers are still keen for updates on the progress of their order. This usually means lots more emails to your inbox, or live-chat requests.

Not any more!

Customers can see the exact status of their order at anytime on the Glide customer area.

The little details matter too

Here are some smaller features that are key concepts when fulfilling orders for custom products

Automate proof reminders

Unapproved artwork means orders don't get fulfilled on time. You also avoid a back-log of unfulfilled orders which is a liability to your business.

automate proof reminders
track approved artwork

Track approved artwork - never print the wrong file again

Knowing which version of the customer's design was approved is vital to avoid mistakes during manufaturing. It also makes reordering in 1, 2 or even 5+ years a sinch.

save files against the order

Files saved against the order

No more scouring file systems looking for the correct artwork.
No more wasting hours each week or having to ask customers which file needs to be printed (embarrassing 🙈).
Just the right files in the right place, nice and easy to find.
