For sign, print and graphics shops
I build AI automation for sign shops, so each job is entered once from quote to invoice.
I connect your shop software (ShopVox or similar) to your project board and accounting, so an approved quote becomes a production job and status flows back without anyone re-typing it. First flow live in 5 business days, the full system in 10.
Best for: sign and print shops whose jobs get re-typed between estimating, production and accounting.
$6,500 fixed, live in 10 business days.
Built for NorthMark Sign: over $4,000 a week saved · Top Rated on Upwork · 5.0 from 30 ratings
Every job gets typed in three times.
A quote is approved in your shop software. Someone builds the job again on the production board. Accounting needs it a third time. Each copy is a chance for a wrong size, a wrong due date or a job in the wrong rep's folder, and someone spends hours a week keeping the systems in step.

The offer
- Price. $6,500 fixed. Half to start, half at go-live, or $5,850 paid upfront. If you started with the AI Roadmap, its $750 comes off this price. Need only one flow? The 5-Day Ops Agent Sprint is $3,500.
- Guarantee. If the full system isn't running in production by day 10, I keep working at no charge until it is and refund $650. If I can't get it running, you don't pay the second half. The clock starts when the deposit clears and I have access, and it pauses while I'm waiting on you.
Capacity. I run at most 2 builds at the same time, so I can hold these dates. The intake form shows the next open start date.
Founding clients: 3 of 3 slots left in sign and print.
The first 3 shops to sign up for this build get their first month of Ops Care free ($1,500) and the next open build slot. In return, you agree to a short case study:
- a 30-minute interview within 30 days of go-live;
- your company name and logo;
- the before and after results you're willing to confirm;
- one quote you approve.
You read and approve it before anything goes live. The free month starts once you approve the case study. Your 30 days of fixes start at go-live. If they end before you approve the case study, Ops Care isn't active in between unless you start it at the normal price. This ends when the 3 slots are filled or on Jan 31, 2027, whichever comes first. The price is the same either way.
What this costs you today
- NorthMark Sign, the shop I built this for, saves over $4,000 a week.
- If your coordinator spends 10 hours a week re-typing jobs, that's about $12,080 a year in wages alone (BLS median for administrative assistants, May 2025).
- A full-time developer to build and maintain it costs about $11,330 a month in median salary before benefits (BLS, software developers, May 2025).
- This is a fixed $6,500.

What clients say on Upwork
Diego is excellent to work with. He is highly detail-oriented, communicates clearly, and is always quick to respond. He is also incredibly patient when working through questions, feedback, or changes. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful developer.
We worked with Diego on a custom API integration between our ERP and project management platform, and he was outstanding from start to finish.
He handled both minor troubleshooting and complex system challenges with the same level of focus and care, keeping the project moving forward even when unexpected issues arose. His communication is clear, proactive, and transparent — he consistently explained his approach and made sure we understood each step.
Diego is responsive, technically sharp, and deeply reliable. If you’re looking for someone who can manage complex integrations while maintaining steady, professional communication, I highly recommend him.
Diego was incredibly efficient and consistently responsive throughout the entire project. His turnaround time and attention to detail saved me a significant amount of time and rework.

What I build for you
How it works
Intake and a 15-minute call
You tell me your shop software and board. I tell you whether both have usable APIs.
Mapping and scope
A 45-minute mapping session, then a one-page scope and the deposit.
Live
First flow live by day 5, the full system by day 10. Then 30 days of fixes.
Questions
We use Cyrious, Corebridge or something else.
If it has an API or a reliable export, it can likely work. I check before you pay.
Do we have to change tools?
No. You keep your shop software and your board.
What if a job doesn't map?
It goes to a named person to approve. Nothing gets guessed.
Who owns it?
You do. It runs in your accounts. Hosting with me is optional at $88 a month.
What about after launch?
Ops Care is $1,500 a month, cancel anytime: monitoring, fixes and one improvement a month.
