Quote
Turn messy requests into structured quotes your team can review and send.
// AI-powered shop management
From messy request to paid invoice — without the chaos in between.
InkOps helps custom apparel shops cut hours from quoting, order entry, art handoffs, and production updates while keeping every job connected from request to paid invoice.
Bring one real order — we’ll run it from quote to invoice. No sales deck.

// 01 - The problem
The job gets messy before it reaches production.
Most delays do not start on press. They start with quote details buried in email, artwork in folders, proofs in old threads, pricing in spreadsheets, and production notes living in someone's head.
As the shop grows, every unclear order creates another round of checking, re-entering, asking, waiting, and owner involvement.
01
Slow quotes
Customer requests take too long to turn into accurate, sendable quotes.
02
Repeated order entry
The same job details get typed into multiple places before production sees them.
03
Disconnected art
Logos, mockups, placements, colors, and notes get separated from the order.
04
Buried proofs
Approvals and change requests get stuck in email threads or messages.
05
Production questions
The floor waits on missing garments, files, dates, approvals, or print details.
06
Owner bottlenecks
Every exception eventually finds its way back to the person running the shop.
// 02 - The workflow
Six stations. One connected job.
InkOps keeps the full job connected as it moves through quoting, art, proofing, production, invoicing, and payment. One job record. Every detail in context.

Art
Keep files, mockups, placements, colors, and print notes attached to the job.
03
Proof
Send approvals, track changes, and keep customer decisions connected.
04
Production
See what is ready, blocked, late, missing, or waiting on approval.
05
Invoice
Create invoices without rebuilding the job.
06
Payment
Collect payment and keep status tied to the order.

It drafts the first pass.
Quotes, proposals, replies, production notes, and work orders.
It reuses what you already know.
Prior jobs, saved art, placements, colors, sizes, and customer preferences.
It answers in Slack.
Ask about order status, blockers, due dates, missing details, and next steps.

01 // quote
Quote faster

02 // entry
Enter less twice
Keep quote, art, proof, production, invoice, and payment details connected to one job.
03 // handoff
Hand off cleaner
Give production the files, notes, dates, approvals, and print details they need upfront.
04 // owner
Interrupt the owner less
Help the team find answers without pulling every unclear order back to the owner.
// 05 - Fit
For shops outgrowing disconnected tools.
InkOps is built for teams where sales, art, production, admin, billing, and the owner all touch the same job.
Strong fit if your shop runs on some mix of email, spreadsheets, Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack, Stripe, pricing sheets, and memory.

// 06 - Questions
Questions before you switch.
The honest version. Deeper answers live on the product and pricing pages.
Will this work with our current workflow?
Yes. InkOps follows how apparel jobs already move through quoting, art, proofing, production, invoicing, and payment.
Is implementation hard?
It can start in phases. Begin with intake and quoting, then roll out art, proofs, production, invoicing, and payments as the team is ready.
Will my team actually use it?
InkOps is built around the job, not generic project management. The workflow stays familiar while reducing re-entry and unclear handoffs.
Can we keep our pricing rules?
Yes. InkOps is designed around shop-specific pricing, markups, garment data, sizes, print locations, and repeat customer history.
