Stop rebuilding the job after it hits production.
For wide-format + digital print shops quoting daily—and rebuilding tickets once they hit production.
Island City Systems builds practical ops software for print shops. Our first product, Omni-Press, helps you catch missing scope early, lock clean handoffs, and keep your schedule from turning into a daily emergency.
Starting with estimating + production handoffs — the two places rework and margin loss hit hardest.
Capture scope details before the job becomes a “production question.”
Turn approvals into production-ready tickets—less guessing, less rework.
Reduce surprises that blow up deadlines and margin.
- Missing material / finishing details
- Estimate → ticket handoff loses context
- Rush jobs bulldoze the schedule
- Scope captured up front (size, qty, material, finishing, deadline)
- Clean approvals → clean tickets (less back-and-forth)
- Fewer surprises that wreck margin and timelines
What we improve
The stuff that quietly kills margin: missing details, messy handoffs, and “production will ask” moments. We’re starting with Omni-Press to make jobs production-ready earlier—without adding busywork.
Estimate clarity
less reworkCatch missing scope early: size, quantity, material, finishing, deadline, install/shipping needs.
Outcome: fewer “can you confirm…” emails after approval.
Clean handoffs
no guessingTurn approvals into production-ready tickets—so production isn’t translating the estimate.
Outcome: fewer hold-ups, fewer mistakes, smoother flow.
Scheduling sanity
calmer daysKeep rush work from bulldozing the entire board. Make priorities obvious and realistic.
Outcome: fewer fire drills that blow margin and morale.
Material + finishing clarity
fewer missesStop losing time on “which vinyl / which laminate / grommets / hem / pockets” ambiguity.
Outcome: fewer change orders and last-minute saves.
Customer communication
faster answersReduce back-and-forth by asking the right questions early and keeping scope easy to confirm.
Outcome: faster approvals, fewer surprises.
Process consistency
team-readyStandard steps so your workflow holds up when you’re slammed—and new people can ramp faster.
Outcome: fewer “everyone does it differently” problems.
Built by someone who’s lived the chaos — and built to fix it.
Island City Systems is focused on one thing first: making jobs production-ready earlier so rework drops and schedules calm down.
When scope is clean and tickets are production-ready, you stop running the shop in reaction mode.
