Ordant automates print shops — PlotonIQ automates sign making
Ordant is a web-to-print system for digital print shops. PlotonIQ is built for the sign maker who stands on the job site.
Web-to-print vs. job-site reality
Ordant optimises the online ordering process: customers upload files, choose options, pay online. Sign makers work differently — they drive to the customer, measure on-site, consult in person. PlotonIQ is built for this reality: Audio-First, photo measurement, Mobile-First.
No AI measurement, no voice capture
Ordant has no facade measurement, no voice recordings, no AI calculation. PlotonIQ makes the site visit digital: photograph the facade, speak into your phone, the AI creates the quote.
No price justification
Ordant calculates prices based on stored formulas. PlotonIQ goes further: the AI justifies every price with regional market data. The customer understands why the price is fair.
