CoreBridge's published offer, checked 3 November 2026
These are CoreBridge's prices, not Sign OS's. CoreBridge lists Starter at $129 a month with one standard and one production user, Small Business at $339 with five of each, Plus at $549 with ten standard and five production users, Professional at $899 with twenty standard users, and Enterprise on request, plus a one-time onboarding fee it doesn't price on the page. The page doesn't name a currency. Its user types differ from ours, so ask for a quote covering the access each person needs and confirm the currency.
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.
- Department timeline with overload warnings
- 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. Import from Xero brings your customers, suppliers, business details, and account and tax codes across; bulk CSV import does customers, materials and suppliers from anywhere else; and products can be built from a spreadsheet, each one test-priced before you keep it. Send us what you quote and we build up to 10 products free while you trial, and the rest of your shop at no charge once you're on Workshop or higher. Your next few new quotes run in Sign OS while old jobs finish where they are. If it doesn't earn its keep in 30 days, you've lost nothing — the trial is free and doesn't ask for a card.
- Import from Xero: customers, suppliers, business details, account and tax codes
- Bulk CSV import: customers, materials, suppliers; products from a spreadsheet
- Up to 10 products built free on the trial; the rest free on Workshop or higher
- Run in parallel — no cut-over day, no consultants
- Free 30-day trial, no card, cancel by simply stopping

- Do we lose capability moving off an enterprise MIS?
- Test that on your own work. Sign OS covers quoting, jobs, scheduling, floor boards, purchasing, dispatch, invoicing, reporting and accounting sync, plus an AI assistant with configurable approvals, and an online store with the Scale and Signature packages, or as parts on a plan you build yourself. If a specific workflow matters to you, run it in the free trial before deciding.
- How long does implementation take?
- There's no implementation project. Sign up, bring customers and suppliers across from Xero or by CSV, build your top products as recipes or from a spreadsheet, and quote — most shops do this inside the 30-day trial. Send us what you quote and we build up to 10 products free while you trial, and the rest of your shop at no charge once you're on Workshop or higher. 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. Scale covers 20 users with scheduling, reports, design tools, the safety system, the web store and VIP portals; Signature takes it to 30 users and adds the online designer, HR and your own email domain. Or build your own plan from Core and just the parts you need.
