Where Wide Format & Signage Businesses Lose Jobs & Margin
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps wide format printing businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
Uncollected Jobs
12 finished jobs sitting in finishing area for 3+ days — nobody noticed
A wide format business tracked the time between a job being marked "ready" and being collected or dispatched. 12 jobs had been sitting in the finishing area for an average of 3.4 days — some for over a week. Storage was becoming a problem and cash was tied up in unbilled completed work. With Clicarity, uncollected jobs flag after 24 hours. Average collection time: same day.
Average collection time reduced from 3.4 days to same day
Substrate Stock-Out
Wrong substrate discovered only when job reached printing — 2-day delay
A sign shop found that substrate stock-outs were being discovered only when the job reached the printing queue — not at order entry. The operator would pull the job, find the media wasn't in stock, and the job would wait 2-3 days for delivery. With Clicarity, substrate check is a logged stage at order entry. Stock-outs now identified and ordered 3 days before the job reaches print.
Substrate delays eliminated — identified at order, not at print
Installation Scheduling
Installation team arriving at sites not ready — 8 wasted mobilisations in one month
An installation crew was being sent to sites 8 times in one month where the site was not ready — scaffolding not up, area not cleared, or client not available. Each wasted mobilisation cost approximately ₹8,000 in time and transport. With Clicarity, site readiness is a confirmed stage before installation is scheduled. Wasted mobilisations in the following month: zero.
Wasted mobilisations reduced from 8 to zero — site confirmation enforced
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""We had 12 finished jobs sitting in our finishing area for 3 days waiting for collection — and we had no idea. Meanwhile we were printing the same client's new job. Now we see finished jobs that haven't moved — and we chase before the client chases us.""

Questions from wide format printing businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
