Price:$4,250.00
Manage Your Print Shop with Greater Visibility and Control
ONYX Align is cloud-based print shop management software designed to connect estimating, order management, production tracking, invoicing, and business reporting in one centralized platform.
Instead of relying on spreadsheets, sticky notes, disconnected systems, and knowledge held by one employee, ONYX Align gives sales, customer service, design, production, management, and ownership teams access to the information they need to move work forward.
The software helps print businesses create more consistent estimates, convert approved estimates into orders, monitor work in progress, track costs, issue invoices, and evaluate profitability throughout the production process.
This prepaid one-year subscription also includes onboarding training to help your team configure ONYX Align for your operation and begin using its core management tools effectively.
Build More Consistent and Accurate Estimates
Quoting print work requires more than calculating square footage. Materials, labor, equipment time, finishing, installation, and other production costs can all affect the profitability of a job.
ONYX Align provides customizable database tools that allow your business to define:
- Print media and material costs
- Printers and production equipment
- Cutters
- Lamination processes
- Labor requirements
- Machine time
- Finishing steps
- Other job-specific production costs
By creating repeatable estimating processes, your team can reduce guesswork and quote jobs with greater confidence.
ONYX Align also displays material, labor, equipment, subtotal, target price, and profit margin information within the estimating process, giving your business clearer visibility into the financial performance of each job.
Convert Estimates into Production Orders
Once a customer approves an estimate, ONYX Align can convert it into an order without requiring your staff to rebuild the job from the beginning.
This connected workflow helps preserve important job details as work moves from sales and customer service into production.
Your team can use ONYX Align to:
- Create customer estimates
- Convert estimates into orders
- Organize products and individual jobs
- Assign production stages
- Store job information
- Monitor order status
- Prepare completed work for invoicing
This reduces duplicate data entry and helps departments work from the same job information.
Organize and Track Work in Progress
User-definable job boards allow print shops to create production workflows that reflect how work moves through their operation.
Job tracking tools include production calendars and work-in-progress views that help employees identify:
- Current job status
- Assigned production stage
- Workflow step
- Due dates
- Overdue work
- Assigned team members
- Products included in each order
- Jobs waiting for the next production step
These tools give production managers and operators a clearer view of shop capacity, deadlines, and workflow priorities.
See the True Cost and Margin of Every Job
ONYX Align helps print businesses understand the relationship between job revenue and production cost.
Profit margin visibility can include:
- Material costs
- Staff time
- Machine time
- Discounts
- Taxes
- Total job cost
- Selling price
- Target margin
- Actual profit margin
This information can help your team recognize underpriced work, maintain consistent pricing practices, and make better-informed production and sales decisions.
Manage Customers and Jobs from a Web Browser
Because ONYX Align is cloud based, authorized employees can access the system through a web browser.
This allows teams to manage customer information, prepare quotes, review orders, monitor production, and access business information without relying on a single workstation or paper-based job system.
Cloud access can be especially valuable for:
- Owners working away from the shop
- Sales representatives preparing estimates
- Customer service teams checking job status
- Production managers reviewing workloads
- Multi-department print operations
- Teams that need shared access to current job information
QuickBooks Online Integration
ONYX Align integrates with QuickBooks Online to support financial workflows, including billing and payment activities.
The platform can also provide business reporting related to:
- Job history
- Sales overviews
- Payments
- Sales tax summaries
- Accounts receivable
- Costs and revenue
This integration helps connect print production management with the financial tools used by the business.
ONYX Thrive Integration
ONYX Align can integrate with ONYX Thrive to create a more connected workflow between print shop management and production.
For businesses already using ONYX Thrive, this integration can help reduce the separation between quoting, order management, and print production.

Wisconsin Wraps: Faster, Smarter Vehicle Wrap Estimating
When demand for vehicle graphics surged, Wisconsin Wraps owner Josh Hendricks faced a challenge: manual quoting was slowing growth.
“I wanted more consistent, accurate quoting for vehicle graphic jobs,” Hendricks said. “I was manually figuring out square footage and estimating install time, and it was very time-consuming as I got busier and busier.”
With ONYX Align, Wisconsin Wraps automated pricing and added job tracking—all in one platform. The result?
- Consistent, accurate quotes for every wrap
- Empowered team members to quote jobs confidently
- Performance benchmarks, like installation time, for better planning
“Align has been really easy to use and very intuitive. Everything just comes naturally,” Hendricks added.
