For large format print shops
Quote it, print it, know what it made.
Plana knows your boards, vinyls and what they cost you, so every line on a quote is priced the same way, and every job shows its margin.
Sound familiar?
- Two people quote the same banner two different prices.
- Supplier price rises never make it into your quotes.
- Print files get set up by hand, one at a time.
Your materials, priced from your suppliers
Each material has its sizes and options, the suppliers you buy it from, what they charge and your markup. Half-sheet charging is built in.

Print files made from the artwork
When artwork arrives on an item, Plana makes its print file: bleed added, the cut line redrawn for your cutter, and spot colours kept. You check it, or hand it to the AI when it needs more.
Every job's margin
What you charged, what it cost and what's left, on every job, before it's invoiced.
Your invoices go into Xero
Invoices go into Xero as you issue them, for the right customer and under the same number. Money paid in Xero shows on the job, so nobody types it twice.

Questions
- Can we load our supplier price lists?
- Yes. Each material keeps the supplier items you buy, with their codes and prices, and remembers price changes over time.
- What does it do with a customer's artwork?
- It keeps every version on the item it's for, makes a preview, and can prepare the print file with bleed and cut lines for you to check.
- Who can see prices and margins?
- Owners and admins. Team members see the work without the money.
