The honest difference
Not the longest feature list. The workflow you need to fix first.
AI agents in the workflow
TaggIQ builds custom AI agents for print, sign, promo and embroidery businesses. They draft alongside your team, and a person still reviews pricing, approvals and customer commitments.
Quote to payment, not one isolated task
Customer, product, supplier, proof, production, invoice, payment and accounting details move through one workflow, without re-keying between tools.
Easy to evaluate on a real job
Try the platform on one real workflow during a 30-day free trial, or start with one agent next to the software you already use.
Decision guide
Which tool is actually right for you?
If you're running on spreadsheets, email and a separate invoicing tool,
then start with the spreadsheets comparison: it says when a sheet is still the better fit, and the warning signs that it is not. Spreadsheets comparison
If you're a screen print shop and Printavo keeps coming up in your research,
then read the TL;DR table and the trade-offs, including where it is the better fit. Printavo comparison
If you're a promo distributor evaluating commonsku,
then compare promo-specific software with TaggIQ's print, promo, sign, webstore, supplier and accounting workflow. commonsku comparison
If you're considering InkSoft for online stores,
then check how each option handles B2B quoting and supplier sourcing as well as the stores. InkSoft comparison

then ask which system your sales, production, purchasing and finance team can actually use every day. ShopWorks comparison

then TaggIQ doesn't force you into one vertical. One platform covers all of them. See solutions by shop type
