A CoreBridge alternative without the enterprise overhead

CoreBridge sells an enterprise-flavoured MIS: capable, structured, and priced like it — published tiers around US$549 a month for a 10-user shop (as reviewed mid-2026), plus implementation. Sign OS covers the workflow that actually runs a sign shop — quoting, production, purchasing, invoicing — for AUD $169 a month at that size, with a free self-serve trial instead of an implementation project.

Enterprise structure, without enterprise drag

You shouldn't need a project plan to change your own quoting logic. In Sign OS, products are living recipes your admin edits directly — substrates, machine time, labour steps, markup tiers — and every change flows through quoting, production and purchasing immediately. Granular permissions (70+ per-user grants) give you enterprise-grade control over who sees prices, approves quotes or releases jobs, without a consultant in the loop.

Self-serve recipe and rate changes — no professional services
70+ per-user permission grants; prices hidden from the floor
Approval workflows for quotes and purchase orders
Role dashboards: owner, sales, projects, production, accounts

The production floor is the product

Jobs land on a department Gantt timeline with capacity overload warnings. The floor works from big-button tablet boards — start, finish, next — and QR-coded job sheets clock real time against real steps, so quoted-versus-actual margin is live on every job while you can still do something about it.

Realtime floor kanban with time clocking
Job-linked purchase orders and stock reservation on release
Deposit + final invoicing generated from the job, synced to Xero

Switching is a trial, not a project

You don't migrate to Sign OS — you trial it in parallel. Bulk CSV import brings customers, materials and suppliers across in an afternoon; the shared catalogue gives you a head start on products; and your next few new quotes run in Sign OS while old jobs finish where they are. If it doesn't earn its keep in seven days, you've lost nothing — the demo is free and doesn't ask for a card.

Priced for the shop you are now

AUD $89 for a 3-user shop, $169 for 10 users, $249 for 20 — no onboarding fees, no per-user fees inside the bucket, yearly billing 20% off. Grow into features (storefront, VIP portals, reports, unlimited AI) as your tier grows, instead of paying enterprise rates from day one.

Frequently asked questions

How is Sign OS so much cheaper than enterprise MIS platforms?: Modern architecture costs less to run and support — no per-customer servers, no implementation consultants, self-serve configuration. The saving is passed through as flat AUD tiers: $89, $169 and $249 a month with user buckets instead of per-seat fees.
Do we lose capability moving off an enterprise MIS?: You keep the core that runs a shop — quoting, jobs, scheduling, floor boards, purchasing, dispatch, invoicing, reporting and accounting sync — plus things legacy platforms lack, like an approval-gated AI assistant and a self-serve online storefront. If a specific workflow matters to you, test it in the free trial before deciding.
How long does implementation take?: There's no implementation project. Sign up, CSV-import customers/materials/suppliers, build your top products as recipes, and quote — most shops do this inside the 7-day trial. Support is included on all plans.
Is Sign OS suitable for multi-department shops?: Yes — departments each get their own timeline lane, workflow presets and labour rates, and the release wizard validates stock before a job reaches the floor. The Scale plan covers 20 users with every module included.
