Running a framing shop shouldn't be this hard

Framing shops in 2026 are dealing with rising material costs, labour pressures, and customers who expect instant quotes and real-time updates. Manual systems just can't keep up.

Quotes scribbled on scraps of paper
Jobs going missing or being forgotten
No idea which jobs are profitable
Phoning customers when their job is ready
Ordering the wrong amount of moulding
Chasing up supplier invoices manually
Supplier prices out of date
No P&L until the accountant calls
Material costs eating into margins
Spreadsheets that break every week

From framers who made the switch

★★★★★

"We used to spend the first hour every morning working out what was due that day. Now I open the calendar and it's all there. The SMS notifications alone save us at least five phone calls a day."

SH
Sarah H.
Owner, independent framing studio — Yorkshire
★★★★★

"The supplier price integration is brilliant. Prices update automatically and feed straight into the quoting tool. We used to undercharge when chop prices went up. That doesn't happen any more."

MK
Mark K.
Owner, two-location framing business — Surrey
★★★★★

"The P&L dashboard is the thing I didn't know I needed. I can see exactly what I made this week, this month, how it compares to last year. My accountant loves the Xero export too."

TR
Teresa R.
Owner, gallery and framing studio — Edinburgh
★★★★★

"Knowing exactly what jobs are coming in and the detailed financials daily really help me manage the shop . The quoting tools help me focus on the client rather than calculating the price."
