Roadmap

Where the platform is headed.

This is a small, real build — one developer, one commercial print shop customer so far, built in the open rather than announced in advance. Here's what's actually built, what's being refined, and what's planned next. Not a promise of ship dates — a record of direction.

Built, in development

  • RFQ Workflow

    Built and in use with our first customer. Refining routing and edge cases now.

  • Estimating Engine

    Press, stock, ink, bindery, outside services, and handwork costing — built, being hardened for daily use.

  • Customer & Stock Pricing

    Per-customer markup grids and an active stock library. Built, backfilling historical data now.

  • Business Rules Engine

    Editable pricing and workflow rules instead of hardcoded logic. Built and in place.

  • Quote Management

    Versioned quotes that convert into production jobs in one step. Built and in use.

Planned next

  • Production Scheduling & Press Optimization

    Turning press and floor data already being captured into scheduling recommendations, not just records.

  • AI-Assisted Recommendations

    Using the pricing history and business rules already in the system to suggest quotes, not just calculate them.

  • Customer-Facing Portal

    Letting customers check job status and request quotes directly, instead of routing everything through a CSR.

  • Multi-Shop Configuration

    Generalizing what's built for one shop into something a second and third shop can configure for themselves.

None of this is built by a product team — it's one developer working alongside a real shop, in the order the shop actually needs it. If something here matters to your business more than it does to theirs, say so — that's how the order changes.
