Printcore.ai reads the request, prices the job with real production math, gets customer approval online, and builds your shop-floor schedule — automatically. Built by a working print shop.
No credit card required · 15-minute AI-guided setup · cancel anytimeThe shop that quotes first wins the job. Printcore makes sure that's you.
Email in. Quote out. Approved online. On the schedule. This is the whole loop — in real time.
On the Pro plan, your shop gets its own dedicated quote email address. Forward a customer request — typed, pasted, even spoken — and Claude-powered AI extracts the line items, sizes and quantities, matches materials to your inventory, and routes each item to the right calculator.
Live nesting on rolls and press sheets with automatic rotation, material and labor costing, overhead allocation, and your markup chain. You see the margin before the customer sees the price.
Send a polished quote email; your customer opens a simple portal (email + PIN, nothing to install), uploads artwork, and clicks approve. The job lands on your shop-floor board the same second.
Printcore's estimating engine compares the actual time every operation takes against what it predicted — and corrects the next estimate automatically. No time-standard spreadsheets to maintain. The longer you use it, the more accurate your quotes and schedules get.
One click turns an approved quote into sequenced operations — stations, timing, dependencies, inventory. Claude-powered analysis finds your bottleneck before it costs you.
Stock deducts automatically the moment a job hits production. Low-stock alerts and reorder thresholds tied to a live supplier catalog — 250+ banner materials alone, one click to add.
Nine AI reports watch your business: profitability analysis that catches mispriced jobs, bottleneck detection, churn-risk flags, substrate forecasting. Specific, honest, actionable.
Opt-in, anonymized comparison against other shops — margins, turnaround, utilization. Only aggregates are ever shared. Know where you actually stand.

About 15 minutes. The AI Setup Assistant builds your equipment stations from a one-sentence description of your shop, seeds standard print-industry materials and products, and sets regional tax and pricing defaults. You can also paste old invoices or a rate card and the AI imports your historical pricing.
Every time an operation completes, Printcore compares the actual recorded time against its estimate and applies a correction to future estimates of that operation type. Your quotes and schedules get measurably more accurate the longer you use it — no manual time-standard maintenance.
Yes — and it's included on every plan. Printcore connects through Apideck to most accounting and CRM packages: QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage, FreshBooks, NetSuite, Wave, and the major CRMs. It imports historical invoices to power AI pricing suggestions, syncs customers both ways, and creates invoices when jobs complete. Shipping rates and labels come from USPS, UPS, and FedEx via Shippo.
It's your data. Export quotes, customers, and reports to CSV at any time during or after your trial. Industry benchmarking is strictly opt-in and only ever shares anonymized aggregates.
