Build a custom line

Quote a one-off that isn't in your catalogue, priced from scratch.

What this is for

Sometimes a job is unlike anything in your catalogue. A custom line lets you build the price from scratch — add the materials, the labour, the machine time and your markup — so even one-offs are priced properly, not guessed.

Build a custom line — the screen in Sign OS

Step by step

  1. 1

    On the Build quote step, press + Custom line in the Add a line section.

  2. 2

    Under 'What goes into it?', use + Material to add the materials it uses and how much of each.

  3. 3

    Add + Labour and + Machine time (and + Hardware item or + Fixed charge if needed), using your department and machine rates.

  4. 4

    Set the Markup on each line and watch the Product total it produces.

  5. 5

    Press Save custom product to save the line into the quote alongside any other items.

Tips & gotchas

  • →Build from what the job consumes, the same way a product does — that is what keeps a one-off from being underpriced.
  • →If you find yourself building the same custom line often, turn it into a product so it becomes a one-click pick.
