Print MIS for estimating and ordering. Here's how we stack up.
Pick Ordant if estimating accuracy across many substrates is your hardest problem. Pick Printer's Friend if getting jobs through the shop on time is.
Ordant is estimating-led print MIS. Printer's Friend is workflow-led: the quote is the start of a production path with stages, scan-in, approvals and dispatch attached, not a document that then gets managed elsewhere.
We publish our own pricing on the pricing page, in your currency. We do not quote Ordant's numbers here, because we have not verified them recently and a stale figure is worse than none — check theirs directly.
One monthly price and no add-on fees. Where something needs a higher plan, the card says which.
Screen, DTG, DTF, embroidery, sublimation and transfers each price on their own model, with garment cost, setup, quantity breaks and margin visible on the quote line.
On every plan
A kanban for the office that updates every fifteen seconds, a full-screen wallboard for the shop, and per-station screens filtered to the stages that station cares about. Barcode scan advances a job.
On every plan
Staff clock on and off at a floor station against an order number. Hours cost at each person's labour rate, so reports show margin after labour, not just gross margin.
On every plan
Assign a rep to an order and their rate is frozen onto it. Commission is earned on dispatch, on the ex-tax value, and totals per rep sit in Reports.
On every plan
Customers sign in under your branding to approve artwork, track the production stage, pay invoices and reorder past jobs. Unlimited portal users, no per-seat charge.
On every plan
Team stores at your workspace address, group-buy campaign pages and an in-store kiosk, all included. Every storefront page carries its own social card and share buttons so a link unfurls with the product picture.
On every plan
SKU-level stock with a movement ledger, reorder points, suggested purchase orders, PO emailing to the supplier, receiving and cycle counts. Any supplier's range imports from CSV.
On every plan
A REST API for customers, orders and inventory, and signed outbound webhooks on order stage changes, so any tool you already run stays in step.
On Premium and above
Ordant is the better fit for a commercial print operation whose quoting complexity dwarfs its scheduling complexity.
