Xero
It works both ways. Your invoices go into Xero on their own, and when the customer pays, Xero tells Sign OS and the job is marked paid. Nothing gets typed twice.
Your accountant keeps Xero. Your quotes keep arriving in Outlook. Your web store keeps taking orders. Sign OS sits in the middle of all of it, so nothing gets typed twice and nothing goes missing between the counter and the invoice.
Connections are set up in Settings. Most take a couple of minutes and no IT person.
Every connection
Built in means it’s already part of Sign OS, with nothing to connect. Live means you can turn it on today. Beta means it works and we’re watching it on real shops. On request means we set it up with you. Planned means it’s on the list, not in the product.
It works both ways. Your invoices go into Xero on their own, and when the customer pays, Xero tells Sign OS and the job is marked paid. Nothing gets typed twice.
Let customers pay by card, either a deposit before you start or the whole invoice. The money lands in your Stripe account.
The same as Xero, for shops on QuickBooks. Invoices go over, payments come back.
The same as Xero, for shops on MYOB. Not built yet. MYOB charges us to connect, so we're waiting to see how many of you want it.
Emails asking for a price land in Sign OS. It reads them, works out who they're from, and has a quote ready for you to check.
Keep working in Outlook. Put any email against a customer or a job with one click and it's on their file in Sign OS. Connecting your whole mailbox is something we switch on for you.
The same, for shops on Gmail. We set this one up with you.
Quotes and invoices come from your business, not from us. Your customers see your name in their inbox.
Keep the online store you already have. Orders from it become real jobs, priced off your own costs.
Your online store sits on your own web address. Customers never see the words Sign OS.
The same as WooCommerce, for shops on Shopify. Not built yet. Tell us if this is you.
Measurements and photos from a site visit land straight on the job, so you quote off what's really there.
Sign OS comes with its own assistant. Ask it to build a quote, find a job, or tell you what you charged this customer last time. It's already there, with nothing to set up and nothing extra to pay.
Already pay for Claude? Hook it up and ask it about your jobs, quotes and stock. You decide what it's allowed to see.
The same, for shops that use ChatGPT. Switch it off whenever you like.
The same, for shops already on Microsoft. Nothing new to buy and nothing new to learn.
The same, for shops that use Gemini. Nobody has tried it yet, so we won't say it works until someone has.
A folder on your computer that holds the same files as the job. Save your artwork where you always save it and it's on the job.
Put artwork on a job straight from Drive, without downloading it first.
The same, for shops that keep their artwork in Dropbox.
Your suppliers' trade prices are already in there: Australian Sheet Traders, SAS, Eurotech, Acrylics Online, Easy Signs, CMYKhub and more. Quote off what things really cost you.
Prices from your own Ball & Doggett account, so you quote on what you pay, not on what everyone else pays.
Makes Sign OS talk to other software you use, without us having to build each one. Not there yet.
The same, for shops that use Make instead.
Setting one up
No consultant, no data mapping workshop, no invoice for implementation. You sign in to the other system once and Sign OS does the rest.
Every connection lives in one place. Choose the one you want and press Connect.
You log in to Xero, Outlook or Stripe on their own site. We never see or store your password.
From then on it looks after itself. If something ever goes wrong, Sign OS tells you what and why.
The one that saves the most time
Point your enquiry address at Sign OS. Every email that arrives is read, matched to a customer and turned into a quote you can check, adjust and send, usually before you’ve finished your coffee.

Hi mate, need 2 x ACM panels 2400 x 900 full colour print, plus 6 window decals about 600 square. Install would be great. Artwork attached.
Coming from something else
Twenty years of customers and jobs shouldn’t be the reason you stay on software you’ve outgrown. We move it for you, before you pay us anything.
Customers, quotes and full order history lifted out and loaded in, dated the way it actually happened.
Your processes and rates rebuilt properly, not a spreadsheet bolted on the side.
Customers, materials, price lists. If you can get it out of your old system, we can put it in, and show you the result before you commit.
Send us an export and we'll tell you honestly what comes across and what doesn't.
Not on the list
We’re a small Australian shop building for Australian sign makers. If enough of you need the same connection, it gets built, and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s weeks or next year.
No sales call. We reply by email, from a person.
Sign OS opens up to your own tools too.
Seven days free. No card. We’ll load your customers and your price list before you decide.
