Data, automation & AI for print shops

Better print shop data.
Faster. Cleaner. Useful.

Your shop software is already collecting the data — I make it fast, clean, and actually useful. Custom integrations, automated dashboards, and AI workflows for print shops, from the operator who built ScreenPrintGPT.

The problem — fig.01

Your data is in there. It's just stuck.

Most shops are sitting on everything they need — orders, production, sales, art-team activity — locked inside software that won't hand it over cleanly. I get it out, keep it accurate, and put it to work.

Faster

Stop pulling the same spreadsheet every Monday

Reports, exports, and hand-offs that run themselves — so your numbers are ready before you think to ask for them.

Cleaner

One source of truth you can trust

No more arguing over which number is right. Order, production, and sales data reconciled, deduped, and dependable.

Better

AI on top of your data

Spot bottlenecks, forecast load, and answer "how's the shop doing?" in plain English — instead of wrestling pivot tables.

Software, integrations & AI for print shops

Custom solutions built by someone who has actually run the floor — not a generic agency learning your industry on your dime.

Integrations & API

Connect Printavo (and the other tools you run) to QuickBooks, Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, or anything with an API — so order and production data flows automatically instead of being re-keyed.

Printavo API · Zapier · QuickBooks

Reporting & dashboards

Live production, sales, and art-team dashboards built on your real data — the KPIs you actually run on, updated automatically so you stop building them by hand.

Dashboards · KPIs · Automated reports

AI on your data

Custom AI workflows over your shop's data: art-team performance, quote & estimate help, daily design pipelines, and assistants trained on how your shop actually works.

Custom tools & software

When off-the-shelf doesn't cut it, I build it. From a free Gang Sheet Maker to ScreenPrintGPT, I ship software that print shops actually use every day.

How we work — fig.03

Start small, prove value, then scale

You don't have to commit to a big build on day one. Most shops start with an audit and grow from there.

01 — Audit

Data & automation audit

A fixed-fee deep-dive into your shop's data and workflows. You walk away with a prioritized map of the 3–5 reports, integrations, or automations worth building first.

02 — Build

Build it & wire it in

I build the integration, dashboard, or AI workflow — connected to the tools you already use, documented, and handed off so it just runs.

03 — Ongoing

Your fractional data partner

Optional ongoing support: maintaining automations, adding reports, and putting new AI tools to work as they land — without hiring a full-time dev.

Why me — fig.05

Industry expertise meets software

I've spent 15+ years in screen printing and decorated apparel — from DIY beginnings to enterprise-scale production. As a production & operations manager, I've run the high-volume print jobs for brands like Target, Adidas, and Threadless, helped scale shops to $30 million a year, and led teams of 100+.

Today I'm COO & founding partner at DecoFlo, the creator of ScreenPrintGPT, and I build the data and automation tools print shops run on — like DTF.STREAM and Free Gang Sheet Maker. I understand your data because I've lived your operation.

Frequently asked

Can you integrate Printavo with other software?

Yes. Printavo has an API and I've built tooling on it. I connect Printavo to QuickBooks, Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, and custom dashboards so your order and production data flows automatically — instead of being exported and re-keyed by hand.

My shop uses different software, not Printavo. Can you still help?

Almost certainly. If your shop-management software has an API or can export data, I can automate around it and build reporting on top of it. Printavo is simply where I've gone deepest.

Can AI actually help run a print shop?

Yes — in specific, practical ways: assistants trained on how your shop works, automated art-team and production reporting, quote and estimate help, and design pipelines. I focus on AI that saves real hours, not hype. I built ScreenPrintGPT, an AI assistant trained for screen printers.

What does it cost to work with you?

Most engagements start with a fixed-fee data & automation audit, so you see value before committing to a build. From there, projects are scoped to the specific work.

How do we get started?

Email matt@marcotte.ink with a bit about your shop, the software you use, and what's slow or messy right now. I typically respond within 24 hours on business days.
