Join the early list

badabrook is rolling out with a limited number of print shops.

We’re working with print operators who want their storefront, quotes, catalog, files, approvals, production, payments, customer history, and marketing data to work as one system — not as scattered tools, inbox threads, spreadsheets, and manual follow-ups.

Early access is intentionally focused: fewer shops, deeper setup, real print workflows.

Run your print shop from one connected operating layer.

badabrook brings storefront orders, custom quotes, product catalogs, artwork checks, proof approvals, production status, payments, customer history, and marketing visibility into one system — instead of spreading the work across inboxes, spreadsheets, storefront tools, PDFs, and memory.

Why it exists

Print work breaks when context gets separated.

A customer places an online order. Another sends a quote request by email. Artwork arrives later. A file fails preflight. A proof is approved in a reply. A deposit is paid. A supplier route changes. Someone remembers the customer's usual stock.

badabrook gives that context somewhere to live.

What it connects

One system for the moving parts of a print shop.

Print work does not live in one place. A single order can touch the storefront, email, catalog pricing, artwork, preflight, proofing, production, delivery, payment, and future reorders. badabrook is built to keep those pieces connected.

01

Storefront orders

Accept online orders, collect files, capture delivery details, and bring storefront activity into the same operational flow as custom work.

02

Custom quotes

Turn email, walk-in, and manual requests into structured quote work with product matching, supplier pricing, markup rules, and approval tracking.

03

Catalog and pricing

Manage product options, supplier costs, quantities, finishes, internal rules, and shop-specific pricing logic without rebuilding every quote from scratch.

04

File preflight

Check artwork before it becomes a production problem. Track warnings, file readiness, proof status, and what still needs operator or designer attention.

05

Proofs and approvals

Keep quote approvals, proof approvals, comments, revisions, and customer decisions attached to the job record.

06

Production tracking

See what is ready, what is blocked, who owns it, what the next action is, and whether a job is waiting on files, approval, payment, supplier routing, or production.

07

Payments and profitability

Track deposits, payment links, balances, supplier costs, delivery costs, labour assumptions, overhead, and margin visibility per order.

08

Customer memory

Reuse previous specs, artwork notes, reorder patterns, communication history, preferences, and account context so repeat work gets faster.

09

Marketing and visibility

Connect storefront products, SEO pages, customer behaviour, quote demand, and sales activity so marketing is tied to real print operations.

How the work moves

From storefront visit to paid, produced, repeatable work.

badabrook connects the commercial and production path: storefront browsing, quote intake, catalog pricing, file checks, proofing, approvals, deposits, production routing, delivery, invoicing, and reorders.

1

Storefront / Intake

demand

artwork

Check artwork, detect problems, track warnings, and decide what can be fixed, approved, or sent back.

5

Proof & approval

decision

Collect proof decisions, quote approvals, comments, revisions, and customer confirmations.

6

Production routing

shop floor

Assign work internally, route sub-orders to suppliers, track blockers, owners, and next actions.

7

Payment & margin

finance

Track deposits, balances, invoices, vendor costs, delivery, labour assumptions, overhead, and profitability.

8

Customer memory & reorder

repeat

Reuse specs, artwork notes, buying patterns, previous jobs, and follow-up history.

Built for the whole print shop

Built around the real print shop, not just the storefront.

Most web-to-print tools start at the online product page. Most MIS tools start at the internal job ticket. badabrook is designed to connect both sides: the customer-facing storefront, the operator's quote workflow, the product catalog, the file/preflight layer, production status, payments, profitability, and customer history.

AI assistance

Use AI where print work gets messy — not where certainty matters.

badabrook can help sort incoming email, detect quote requests, extract useful details, suggest catalog matches, identify missing information, and surface the next action. The operator stays in control of pricing, approvals, file decisions, and production release.
