A SignTracker alternative built for Australian shops

SignTracker is a capable, sign-industry tool built around workflow and job tracking, with QuickBooks for the accounting side. For an Australian shop, Sign OS is the local alternative: pricing computed from product recipes rather than templates, an approval-gated AI assistant, two-way Xero sync, and AUD plans with user buckets instead of per-seat fees.

Built in Australia, priced in AUD

SignTracker is a US product with QuickBooks at its centre. Sign OS is built and operated in Australia: plans are AUD with user buckets — 3, 10 or 20 — so adding your fabricator or Saturday casual costs nothing, invoicing is GST-aware, and accounting flows two-way into Xero and QuickBooks today, with a MYOB connection built but not yet switched on.

Support is in your timezone and the terms are governed by Victorian law — not a US contract you can't renegotiate.

  • ✓AUD pricing with user buckets, not per-seat fees
  • ✓Two-way Xero and QuickBooks sync today; MYOB built, not yet on
  • ✓GST-aware invoicing end to end
  • ✓Australian support and Victorian-law terms

Pricing your team can defend

Where template quoting leaves the number to whoever fills it in, Sign OS computes every quote from a product recipe — substrates, machine minutes, labour, waste and markup tiers — deterministically. Any team member produces the same price your best estimator would, and every dollar traces to a line in the recipe. The approval-gated ReAct AI assistant does the legwork — finding records, drafting quotes and follow-ups — with a human confirming every write.

  • ✓Deterministic recipe pricing — sheet, roll, sqm and lm native
  • ✓Waste and yield calculated per material, visible on every line
  • ✓Agentic AI assistant with an approval gate on every action
  • ✓Quote → job in one click, prices frozen at acceptance

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.

  • ✓Bulk CSV import: customers, materials, suppliers
  • ✓Shared global catalogue of materials, machines and processes
  • ✓Run in parallel — no cut-over day, no consultants
  • ✓Free 7-day demo, no card, cancel by simply stopping

One system from the floor to the invoice

Beyond quoting and job tracking, Sign OS runs the making: a department timeline with overload warnings, big-button floor boards with QR time clocking, job-linked purchase orders and stock, install dispatch with a contractor portal, and deposit and final invoicing synced to Xero. Shops selling standard products can switch on their own online storefront and VIP client ordering portals.

  • ✓Department timeline with capacity overload warnings
  • ✓Floor boards and QR job sheets — no prices on the floor
  • ✓Job-linked purchasing, stock and install dispatch
  • ✓Optional online storefront and VIP client portals

Frequently asked questions

How is Sign OS different from SignTracker?
Both are built for sign shops, but Sign OS prices from deterministic product recipes rather than templates, adds an approval-gated AI assistant, and is Australian: AUD plans with user buckets, GST-aware invoicing and two-way Xero sync. It also runs production end to end — timeline, floor boards, purchasing, dispatch and invoicing on one record.
Does Sign OS work with Xero, not just QuickBooks?
Yes — two-way Xero and QuickBooks Online sync is live today: invoices push across and payment status flows back so job margins stay current. A MYOB AccountRight connection is written and tested, but MYOB charges for developer access, so it is not switched on yet.
Is Sign OS harder to learn?
You can quote the day you start. The trial includes a shared catalogue of materials, machines and processes to build from, and every recipe you add makes the next quote faster. Most shops set up their top five products first.
What does Sign OS cost?
Plans are AUD $89/month for 3 users, $169 for 10 and $249 for 20 — no onboarding fees and no per-user fees inside each bucket. Every plan starts with a free 7-day trial, no card required.
