# Print Shop POS Software for Montreal

Print shops in Montreal require a POS system that manages custom print jobs, materials, quotes, deposits, and job-based billing accurately. EliteTeQ Print POS is built specifically for digital, offset, and commercial print shops to track orders, manage materials, and process payments from a single streamlined system.

Built for print shops in Montreal to quote jobs, track print orders, and manage payments efficiently.

## Problems We Solve

- **Every Job Is a Custom Quote Worked Out on a Calculator** — Size, paper stock, single or double-sided, colour, lamination, binding, quantity — each job is a fresh calculation. Done by hand at the counter it is slow and inconsistent, and one wrong number means you quote a price that loses money on the run.
- **"Can You Just Change..." After the Quote Is Agreed** — The customer bumps the quantity, switches to a heavier stock, or adds lamination after you have quoted. The job no longer matches the price agreed, and the final bill becomes a debate at pickup instead of a clean handover.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Convert the quote to an invoice that adjusts for approved changes, itemised so the customer sees why. *The final bill matches the agreed job, and pickup is a clean handover instead of a debate.*
- Build job pricing from size, stock, colour, finishing, and quantity so every quote is accurate and instant. *You quote fast and consistently, and stop pricing runs that quietly lose money.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Services & Materials** — Add print services, materials, pricing rules, and finishing options.
2. **Quote, Print & Bill** — Create quotes, process jobs, and collect payments.
3. **Track & Optimize** — Use reports to improve margins and turnaround time.

- **Quotes & Estimates** — Create quotes and convert them into invoices.
- **Job-Based Billing** — Bill print jobs by specifications and quantity.
- **Order Status Tracking** — Track jobs from design to print to pickup.
- **Deposits & Flexible Payments** — Accept deposits, partial payments, and cashless options.

## Running a Business in Montreal

Montreal sits in Quebec and is Quebec's largest city and commercial centre.

Quebec applies its own provincial sales tax alongside the federal goods and services tax and administers it separately, and the province's language requirements mean commercial documents and displays are expected in French. A till here needs both the correct dual-tax treatment and French-language receipting — neither is optional.

Quebec administers its own provincial sales tax alongside federal GST, and provincial language requirements mean commercial documents and displays are expected in French. The binding constraint is correct dual-tax treatment and French-language receipting — neither is optional.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Montreal?** EliteTeQ POS prices in CAD (C$) and records Apple Pay, card and cash against the same sale, so print shops businesses in Montreal close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We know "can you just change..." after the quote is the whole game.** We know every job is a fresh calculation, the changes that come after the price is agreed, and the rush deadline buried in the queue. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to real print shops in Nairobi, building job quotes, tracking the print queue, and managing deposits and consumables.
