In the fast-paced world of print production, small and mid-sized print shops often find themselves juggling tight deadlines, complex customer files, and the constant pressure to deliver flawless results. At Bristol Pay, we understand that efficiency and accuracy aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re essential to staying competitive. That’s why we’re excited to spotlight how Good2Go Software, a trusted partner in cloud-based print workflow automation, is transforming the way SMB print shops manage documents and preflight files.
The Chaos of Manual Processes
Let’s face it—print production can be chaotic. Files arrive via email, changes get lost in threads, and approvals are delayed because someone’s out of office. Manual preflight checks, while thorough, are time-consuming and prone to human error. A missing font or low-resolution image can derail an entire job, costing time, money, and customer trust.
This is where Good2Go steps in.
Automation That Works for You
Good2Go’s cloud-based platform is built specifically for print production. It streamlines file submission, automated PDF preflight, proofing, and approval workflows—all in one organized environment. With built-in automation, files are scanned for common issues like:
- Bleed and trim inconsistencies
- Low-resolution images
- Missing fonts
- Ink inconsistencies
- And more…
And it’s not just about finding errors—it’s about fixing them. Good2Go’s PDF Tune-up feature allows customer service reps to add bleeds or correct issues without needing prepress intervention. That’s real-time problem solving, without the bottlenecks.
Why It Matters for SMB Print Shops
For small and mid-sized print businesses, every minute counts. Good2Go’s automation tools help reduce preflight time by up to 50%, saving hours each week. That means faster turnaround, fewer mistakes, and happier customers.
Plus, with Good2Go’s document management system, your entire team—from sales to prepress—can monitor job status, access files, and track approvals. No more digging through emails or wondering if a file is ready to print.
“It’s not the big jobs slowing printers down—it’s the short, simple ones,” said Michael Reiher, Co-founder of Good2Go Software. “Smaller jobs often require just as much attention as larger orders to prepare for print. Reducing steps and eliminating hand-offs between departments can save valuable time and keep those jobs moving smoothly to the press.”
Seamless Integration with Payably
Here’s where things get even better. Good2Go now integrates with Payably, a BristolPay service, to automate print approvals and payment collection. That means once a file is approved, payment can be collected instantly—no chasing invoices or waiting for checks.
This integration ensures that every transaction is accounted for, synced with QuickBooks Online, and deposited into your bank account quickly and accurately. It’s a seamless experience for both you and your customers.
A Branded Experience That Builds Trust
With Good2Go, your file submission portals and proofing workflows are branded for your business. That means your customers see your logo, your colors, and your professionalism at every step. Combined with Payably’s clean, modern interface and transparent pricing, you’re not just offering a service—you’re building trust.
Final Thoughts
At BristolPay, we believe that technology should empower small businesses, not complicate them. Good2Go’s document management and preflight automation tools are a game-changer for SMB print shops looking to streamline operations, reduce errors, and deliver exceptional results.
Whether you’re a quick print shop or a growing commercial printer, it’s time to take control of the chaos—and Good2Go is the partner to help you do it.
