Let's be honest: Sign work is complicated. You're juggling design revisions, permit bureaucracy, fabrication schedules, weather windows, and installation logistics—all while trying to sell new jobs and service existing signs. Most shops use 5-7 different tools (spreadsheets, email, calendar apps, photo storage, accounting software) and spend half their day copying information between them.
The sign companies landing the big commercial projects aren't necessarily better fabricators—they're just more organized and responsive. They send quotes faster, keep clients updated automatically, and never miss a permit deadline. They look professional because their systems are professional.
OpsPilot gives you that same competitive edge. Everything in one place. Try it free—no credit card, no commitment.
Every feature designed with sign professionals in mind
Track every sign project through design, permit approval, fabrication, installation, and final inspection. See exactly where each job stands and what's needed to move forward. Never lose track of a permit deadline or installation date again.
Schedule crews, coordinate with contractors, and plan around weather. See your installation calendar at a glance. Automated reminders keep everyone on track, from the fabrication shop to the install crew to the customer.
Price complex sign projects with confidence. Factor in materials, labor, permits, crane time, electrical work, and installation. Create professional quotes that account for every detail. Know your true profit on every job.
Share design concepts with customers through a branded portal. Track revisions, get digital approvals, and keep a complete record of what was approved. No more "that's not what I asked for" disputes after installation.
Store permit applications, engineering drawings, electrical plans, and inspection reports with each job. Set reminders for permit renewals. Access everything from anywhere—on site or in the office.
Track maintenance contracts, schedule service calls, and log repairs. Build recurring revenue with maintenance agreements. Get alerts when signs need service. Turn one-time customers into long-term relationships.
Generic project management tools don't get the sign business. They can't handle the permit phase that takes 6 weeks, the weather delay that pushes installation, or the electrical contractor who's running late. OpsPilot is built for these realities.
Your install crew needs info on site, not back at the office. OpsPilot works great on phones and tablets. Access job details, upload photos, update status, and communicate with the shop—all from the job site.
Keep customers in the loop without the back-and-forth. Automated updates when permits are filed, designs are ready for review, fabrication begins, and installation is scheduled. Professional communication that requires zero effort.
Whether you're a two-person shop or running multiple crews across several states, OpsPilot grows with you. Add team members, track multiple locations, manage subcontractors—all without changing platforms or paying per-seat fees.
