Introduction
A short tour of what rastr does and how its parts connect.
Updated
rastr is business software for print shops. It keeps the paperwork and the production floor in one place: you quote a job, turn the quote into an order, invoice it, take payment and run the work on a job board.
What you can do
Quotes
Build a quote from your products, send it by email or as a PDF, and let the customer accept or decline online. See Quotes.
Sales orders
Turn an accepted quote into a sales order, or start one from scratch. See Sales orders.
Job board
Each line on an order in progress becomes a numbered job. Drag jobs between the columns you set up and assign them to people. See Production.
Customer proofing
Send artwork to the customer and get an answer on each piece. See Customer proofing.
Invoices and receipts
Invoice an order, record payments as receipts and send them to the customer. See Invoices and payments.
QuickBooks and the assistant
The Business plan syncs with QuickBooks Online. Every plan has an assistant that answers questions about your shop. See QuickBooks and Assistant.
