Why should I choose FrameReady?
Only FrameReady can do all these:
- Search all fields in any file to help you easily find what you want.
- Create multiple ways to price moulding and matboard from the same supplier.
- Visually show the orientation of a frame on both the screen and printed work order, and alert you if incorrect.
- Price glass based on its layer in the frame (Eg. over the liner, as a mat).
- Enter measurements as a fraction or a decimal.
- Save any document as a PDF and email it.
- Store multiple digital images of work in the work order file.
- Price fabric to cover a matboard and cover a liner into the frame wall you specify.
- Fit a frame to an outside dimension - very helpful when framing mirrors.
- Automatically place items from multiple suppliers onto one purchase order. (Eg. have Bainbridge and Crescent mats automatically appear on a framing distributor's order list.)
- Move individual items from one purchase order to another or merge two orders into one... even if they are from different suppliers.
