Stale statuses
Jobs sit in the wrong stage, so the production board no longer reflects reality.
Printavo VAs that keep your shop floor moving.
A Printavo VA is a trained remote specialist - an InkSpyre Strategic Partner - who runs day-to-day work inside Printavo for print and promo shops. Printavo is print shop management software covering quotes, invoicing, scheduling, approvals, payments, customer communication, and workflow automation; your VA handles quote and invoice entry, order and task management, status updates, proof coordination, and production-board upkeep, to your approval rules. InkSpyre supports clients who use Printavo - we do not replace the software.

01
How work moves through Printavo.
Printavo is the hub of a decorating shop: a quote becomes an invoice, an invoice becomes a job on the calendar, the job needs approvals and a proof, then payment, then production, then done. When the board is current, everyone knows what is due. When it falls behind - because the owner is on the floor, not in the software - due dates blur and jobs get missed.
Example. A shop runs 40 live jobs. On Monday, half the statuses are stale, three approvals are still pending, and two invoices never went out. A Printavo VA spends the morning making the board tell the truth again - updating statuses, chasing approvals, sending invoices - so production can actually trust the schedule.
Where the board falls behind
Approvals not chased
Proofs and sign-offs stall because nobody is following up with the customer.
Invoices & payments slip
Billing lags because entering and sending it competes with running the shop.
Owner stuck in the software
The owner ends up doing data entry instead of running production.
