3M (St. Paul, MN) Graphics announced two new digital tools to help graphics shop owners grow their businesses: the 3M™ Graphics Install Wizard and the 3M™ Graphics Hub.
The Graphics Install Wizard is a new software application for both shop owners and installers. According to 3M, 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 new Graphics Hub is linked to the Wizard and 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.
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.
