Can I get a vehicle wrap pricing calculator for my graphics business?

Yes. Ordant’s print-estimating experts have developed a vehicle wrap estimating module for vehicle-wrap businesses and print shops that offer vehicle wrap services. The calculator uses a database of vehicle makes and models to provide the approximate dimensions of the vehicles your clients want wrapped. Once you know the dimension of the vehicle and whether the client wants a full or partial wrap, you can estimate how much materials will be required as well as printing, laminating, cutting, and installation time that will be required. You can make the calculator available online to customers who want to create their own estimates for vehicle wraps.Ordant’s vehicle wrap estimating module can be used independently or as an add-on with Ordant’s full-featured estimating software for all types and sizes of printing businesses and sign shops.

In addition to vehicle wrap estimate software, what other types of software can help improve my vehicle wrap business?
