What Gantway takes over in signage and sign making
In no other trade are there two parallel planning levels as consistently as in signage: machine scheduling in the workshop and external jobs with vehicle, aerial platform and specialist qualification. Both levels hang on each other — and that is exactly what most planning tools lack.
Plotter, printer and laminator at a glance
The digital desk shows which machine is busy when and for how long. Where can the rush order still be scheduled without pushing another customer? See capacity gaps — before the call comes.
- Scheduling per machine with duration
- Free slot for the rush order visible

Spot machine conflicts before they arise
When two orders need the same plotter at the same time, the conflict engine raises the alarm — not only once the first order is left waiting. Rush orders can thus be fed in deliberately, without throwing the rest out of rhythm.
- Double booking of the plotter reported
- Alarm before the first order is left waiting
- Feed in rush orders deliberately

Layout approval as its own step in the order
Layout approval is the first task in the order, with a date and a status; production and installation hang on it as successors. As long as the approval is open, you see it on the order. If it slips, the print slot and installation date are recalculated — and Gantway shows whether the promised delivery date still holds.

Quotes with version history
Customer wants a different finish after seeing the draft? Instead of overwriting the quote you sent, you create a new version. The old one stays as a read-only record, the version history shows every revision with status and total, and only the current one can be accepted. No searching through email threads.

Capture special formats and rush surcharges
Special film, express delivery, night installation — everything has its price. Gantway sets planned effort against actual effort. What did the rush project really cost, and was the surcharge enough?

Record hours right on site
Installation teams are rarely in the office. Both run on the smartphone: the time clock for attendance, the timer on the task for time on the order — travel, installation, rework. No note, no back-entering, no discrepancy between billed and actual hours.

- Travel, installation and rework on the order

Is Gantway a fit for your business?
Gantway makes particular sense if …
- Your team consists of designers, printers, wrappers and fitters.
- Plotter, large-format printer, laminator and laser engraver are busy at the same time.
- Wraps, signs, banners and large projects run in parallel.
- You have several on-site installation dates per week, plus rush orders for openings and trade shows.
- You need a plan for production and installation at once, not new accounting software.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reliably hit fixed deadlines in signage — trade fair, opening, campaign launch?
Those dates do not move — so the chain before them has to hold. In Gantway, printing, production and installation are linked as tasks with dependencies: if one step slips, the follow-on dates are recalculated and you immediately see whether the delivery date still holds. Conflicts such as a double booking come with a suggested fix.
The conflict engine in detail →How fast can I get a quote out?
Calculate, send as PDF, done — and the customer accepts online through a secure portal. Acceptance automatically becomes the order, without anyone retyping anything.
Quotes & customer portal in detail →Can we see printing, workshop and installation in one plan?
Yes — all orders and all employees sit on one planning surface with a utilization display. If someone is at the router and in the installation plan at the same time, Gantway flags the double booking.
