Running a screen printing shop is no easy task. Days can be long, work demanding, but you still need to deliver what you promised. Your customers have come to you to make their merch for whatever the big event is and you gave your word that you’ll have it ready by a certain date. What if you fail to deliver? Your customers don’t have everything they needed, you lose them, and your reputation suffers. If you want to stay relevant and if you want your business to grow, you need to be able to give your customers exactly what you promised them exactly when you promised it. Once you start getting bad reviews it’s going to be really challenging to repair the damage that’s been done.
The fact is that screen printing shops are dealing with multiple tasks at the same time. They have people focused on different tasks and projects that are in different stages of production. That can be a bit chaotic and overwhelming. From time to time, screen printers will simply give up and drop the ball on the project. Many jobs are being handled at the same moment and even more are in the queue, so it’s important to be able to prioritize and not miss due dates.

The centralized email system can put a stop to miscommunication and save you time by keeping all emails in one place and preventing you from searching for lost emails.
Schedule your screen printing orders smartly and make it easy to see at a glance who is working on which assignments. As long as the schedule is easily accessible to everyone, you shouldn’t have any problems as no one really has an excuse for not doing their job on time.
Another important part of leading a successful business is tracking your progress. You need to know if something isn’t working properly and be able to see the progress of the project at any time. You can see the tasks being completed as the due date arrives which will give a bit more sense to the endless work and bring some enthusiasm back.
