Production and work management

What prints today, what is late, what is stuck, what ships.

Every paid order from Shopify and WooCommerce becomes jobs with their print files, on one board your whole team works from. The Admin answers the four morning questions before anyone clicks.

One system in place of separate tools: the online designer, the gang sheet builder, quotes and production management, and the web-to-print store. One login, and nothing new to learn for each tool.

Today in the Total Print Hub Admin: due today, waiting on customer, blocked and ready to ship, what the DTF station prints today, what ships today, late orders and what needs you.

Today

Due today, waiting on the customer, blocked and ready to ship, each one click from the list behind it.

Orders

Every order from both stores in one list, filtered by stage, method, due date and store.

Production board

Jobs by stage from New to Shipped. Drag, use the keyboard or scan to move them.

Purchasing

The blanks your paid orders need, grouped by vendor and built into draft purchase orders.

Production board

Every job, where it is and what is stopping it.

A card answers five questions: which order, what to print, when it is due, what is blocking it and on which machine. Late jobs turn coral; blocked jobs carry the reason and the fix.

  • Your stagesNew, Artwork check, Waiting for approval, Approved, Printing, Finishing, Quality control, Packing, Ready to ship, Shipped. Rename, reorder or switch off the ones you do not use.
  • Schedule viewThe same jobs by machine and day, with a load meter for each.
  • Rush and due datesRush orders are tagged; the due date colors only when it matters.
The production board in the Total Print Hub Admin: jobs as cards under New, Artwork check, Waiting for approval, Approved and Printing, each with its order number, customer, garment, print size and station, the count of jobs at every stage above, and a proof with no answer edged in amber before it makes the job late.
Print files

The software does the file work.

The Studio already knows every design, so print files, gang sheets and checks are generated for you. Each job shows a verdict: “Print-ready”, or exactly what is wrong and a one-click fix.

  • The customer's mockup next to the print fileCheck what they saw against what you will print.
  • Proofs customers approveSend a proof, get the approval on the order, then print.
An order in the Total Print Hub Admin: rush order #1042, 24 black T-shirts, at Artwork check on its line of stages. What the customer saw, a shield badge over PARTY CREW on the shirt, sits beside the print file, with the verdict Print-ready, every print check passed, the Approve artwork and Needs changes actions, and the front print file as SVG, PNG and PDF.
Job tickets and scanning

Scan the ticket. The job moves on.

Scan the ticket at each station and the job moves on. Nobody retypes a status.

  • One label per jobPrint the job ticket with its label and stick it on the bag of blanks.
  • Scan at each stationThe job moves to its next stage; the board and the order update for everyone at once.
Purchasing

Know which blanks to buy for the orders you have.

See what your paid orders need and build a purchase order for each vendor. A draft is your buying list: you place the order with the vendor yourself.

  • To buyPaid orders whose garments you buy in, grouped by vendor, with the blanks each one needs.
  • Draft purchase ordersAdd orders to a numbered draft, set the quantities and move an order to another draft.
  • Your vendorsYour connected suppliers and any vendor you add yourself, each with its purchasing contact.
A practical guide

Print shop production software that follows the job

How a print shop runs a day on Total Print Hub, from the orders that arrive overnight to the boxes that leave, and what to set up first.

Start the day on Today

Today shows what is due, what is waiting on a customer, what is blocked and what is ready to ship, each one click from the jobs behind it. Late jobs turn coral and blocked jobs carry the reason and the fix, so the first conversation of the day is about the few jobs that need a decision.

Orders from your Shopify and WooCommerce stores arrive in the same list, already split into jobs with their print files.

Set stages that match your floor

The board starts with New, Artwork check, Waiting for approval, Approved, Printing, Finishing, Quality control, Packing, Ready to ship and Shipped, with On hold beside them for a job that has to wait. Rename and reorder the stages, give each its own color and switch off the ones you do not use, so the board reads like your shop.

Jobs move by drag, by keyboard or by scanning a job ticket at a station, and the order updates for everyone at once.

Plan machines, not only dates

The schedule view shows the same jobs by machine and day, with a load meter for each machine. Use it to see when the DTF line is full for the week before you promise a date, and to see where a rush order still fits.

Let the software do the file work

Because the Design Studio and the Gang Sheet Builder saved every design, print files are generated for each job. Each job carries a verdict: print-ready, or exactly what is wrong with a one-click fix.

When a customer needs to see the result first, send a proof and wait for the approval on the order, with the customer's mockup next to the print file.

Know which blanks to buy for the orders you have

Paid orders whose garments you buy in are listed under To buy, grouped by vendor. Add them to a numbered draft purchase order, set the quantities with any spare units, and move an order to another draft when it should be bought separately. A draft is your buying list: you place the order with the vendor yourself.

Production and work management are included in Core, Complete and Dedicated, so no plan leaves you with orders but no production board.

Questions

Production questions

Which plans include production and work management?

Every plan. Core, Complete and Dedicated all include Today, Orders, the production board, proofs, job tickets, scanning and purchasing for blanks.

How do orders reach the production board?

Every paid order from your Shopify or WooCommerce store becomes jobs with their print files, on one board your whole team works from. Nobody re-enters an order.

Can I change the production stages?

Yes. The board starts with New, Artwork check, Waiting for approval, Approved, Printing, Finishing, Quality control, Packing, Ready to ship and Shipped. Rename and reorder them, and switch off the ones you do not use. A schedule view shows the same jobs by machine and day.

Do I still prepare print files by hand?

No. Print files and gang sheets are generated from the customer's saved design, and each job shows a verdict: print-ready, or exactly what is wrong with a one-click fix.

Can customers approve a proof before we print?

Yes. Send a proof, get the customer's approval on the order, then print. The customer's mockup sits next to the print file for checking.

How do job tickets and scanning work?

Print one ticket with its label per job and stick it on the bag of blanks. Scan it at each station and the job moves to its next stage; the board and the order update for everyone at once.

How does purchasing for blanks work?

Purchasing lists the paid orders whose garments you buy in under To buy, grouped by vendor. Add them to a numbered draft purchase order, set the quantities and move orders between drafts. A draft is your buying list: you place the order with the vendor yourself.

Included in every plan.
