3M Releases New Tech Tools for Graphics Manufacturers and Installers
The tools are designed to help shop owners, designers and installers do their jobs more quickly and to stay abreast of the latest trends.
St. Paul, Minnesota-based 3M announces two new digital tools to help graphics manufacturers and installers improve their efficiency.
The 3M Graphics Install Wizard is a new software application that helps both shop owners and installers. Shop owners can access a database of installers based on location and capabilities, as well as list job opportunities, accept bids and book jobs. It also helps shops manage a consistent workflow and stay organized, serving as a platform to share job details, documents, completion photos and more. For installers, the Wizard is an opportunity to increase visibility and receive more installation work by bidding on new projects.
The Graphics Install Wizard is linked to 3M’s new Graphics Hub, which is a free online resource center for graphics manufacturers. The Hub offers educational resources, news on the latest innovations, information on different 3M training programs, as well as a look at the latest trends. The company says that in a demanding industry, its aim with the Graphics Hub is to help graphics manufacturers keep the creative juices flowing and stay ahead of the competition.
There is no cost to sign up for and review the Graphics Install Wizard, and it is a free service for graphics manufacturers who use it to locate and manage external installers. There is a nominal monthly subscription fee for managing internal installers, as well as a per-job fee for installers who accept and complete jobs through the software.
The Graphics Install Wizard is available for desktops and as an IOS app. The software is not exclusive to 3M authorized installers, allowing everyone in the industry a chance to use the tools. To learn more about the Graphic Install Wizard and the Graphic Hub, click here.
