Chameleon Smart

What can Frame Smart do?

This custom picture framing software covers quoting, pricing, invoicing, work orders, job sheets, customer records, statistical reports, cutting lists, and the ability to be customized in appearance and setup to perfectly represent your business: Frame Smart does it all.

Ready to use

Frame Smart is not only easy to use — but it can be used to create work orders, quotes and invoices almost immediately after installing the software — there’s no need to spend hours entering in pricing structures and pages of customer information. Enter your pricing structure easily and quickly using the default pricing screen layout, and it’s ready to quote and print! Frame Smart can even be supplied with pricing structures and layouts pre-installed and ready to use, and this can give you a solid foundation for establishing your own pricing setup. If you are new to the picture framing industry, this will help you enormously with a guideline pricing structure in place, providing valuable insight into good pricing practice. In many cases, Frame Smart only needs the smallest amount of tweaking to suit your current pricing system.

The look

Frame Smart’s design might be somewhat unexpected in comparison to the traditional database design, or lack of design, of old-fashioned custom picture framing software. With Frame Smart, there are no confusing screens with endless text-entry and code-entry fields to fill out, and no restrictive pricing structure attached to a very controlled and confusing format. Instead, there is a simple, flowing interface that can look however you want it to look. Change the colors, change the layout, include your business logo… turn Frame Smart into software especially created for your business.

Frame Smart is smart because it works in the way that humans work — with multi-dimensional lateral thinking, rather than one-dimensional thinking.

The Brisbane Art and Framing Trade Fair 2002

What a rush. The Frame Smart software was a smash hit. Framers were encouraging other framers to take a look, our crew were run off their feet, and the Frame Smart exhibitor display was the busiest display for the duration of the fair. There simply weren’t enough demo systems for everyone to have a go. Next time, we will be sure to bring more than five computers!

For us, the best part of the experience was proving that Frame Smart truly is smart custom picture framing software. Framers approached us all weekend with the different formulas and pricing systems that they had developed over the years, challenging Frame Smart to adjust according to their needs, and the software easily accommodated each system. The most intricately complicated pricing system took us fifteen minutes to understand, and took Frame Smart under one minute to implement with a working demonstration. Thank you to everybody who helped make this a brilliant success! We are definitely looking forward to the next trade fair and to seeing everyone again.

Why Frame Smart?

Frame Smart comes with the fundamental requirements of good custom picture framing software.

If you would like quotes prepared, itemized quote breakdowns created as a job sheet and work orders that may be printed, costs calculated, password protected data, user and technical support, and some basic software customization, then the standard edition has everything you need.

This software is ideal for those who wish to retain their current invoicing system, but require a simpler and more efficient way of pricing framing jobs on the spot. Throw away those old pricing charts and spreadsheets, and make life more enjoyable for you and your staff!
