Why I built it

## I got tired of patching the shop together.

I’m Scott, the owner of SCP Powder Coating in Clayton, North Carolina. Before opening the shop, I spent more than 20 years building software.

Like a lot of coaters, we were bouncing between QuickBooks, spreadsheets, handwritten notes, text messages, and a whiteboard just to answer basic questions: What is waiting to be blasted? Did we order the powder? Is the customer paid? Did this job actually make money?

Powder Coating Logix started as the system I wanted in my own shop. Every major feature has to survive real customers, real parts, real employees, and real production chaos before I trust it.

It is software for coaters because it is built and tested inside a coating shop.

The basic workflow

## One job record from quote to final payment.

Stop retyping the same customer, parts, notes, prices, and photos into different systems as work moves through the shop.

01

### Quote the job

Build a quick estimate or a detailed quote with labor, powder, overhead, margin, photos, and customer notes.

02

### Turn it into production work

Convert the approved quote into a job without losing the parts, pricing, photos, or promises made to the customer.

03

### See where it is on the floor

Know what is waiting, blasting, coating, curing, in QC, ready for pickup, or sitting around longer than it should.

04

### Invoice it and get paid

Apply deposits, take partial payments, send invoices, and let customers pay online without breaking the job history apart.

What makes it useful

## Built around the places coating shops lose time and money.

PCL is not trying to impress you with a hundred disconnected widgets. It is meant to make the work already happening in your shop easier to see, price, and control.

Shop visibility

### See the jobs that need attention before the customer calls.

Open the board and see what is stalled, what is due, what is ready for pickup, and what the crew should work on next.

- Custom production stages
- Daily and full-shop job boards
- Shop-floor access without full admin accounts

Pricing and costing

### Find the jobs that looked profitable but ate up two extra hours in blasting.

Compare what you expected against what actually happened. Track labor, powder, rework, overhead, cycle time, and margin without building another spreadsheet.

- Custom pricing formulas
- Estimated versus actual labor
- Job profitability and cycle-time reporting

Powder and materials

### Know whether you have the powder before the job reaches the booth.

Track what is on hand, what jobs need, what has been ordered, and what is running low. Keep the material side connected to the work instead of relying on memory.

- Powder usage by job
- Low-stock and reorder tracking
- Needed, ordered, and received powder workflow

### And the rest of the day-to-day shop work

These are not separate add-ons. They are part of the same workflow.

- AI-assisted photo quoting
- Oven scheduling
- Customer portal
- Online payments
- Appointments
- Photos and notes
- Purchase orders
- Accounting tools
- Employee time tracking
- Customer messaging

Common questions

## Straight answers.

You can also email us directly at info@powdercoatinglogix.com.

Do I have to set everything up before I can try it?

No. Guided setup gets the basics in place, and the dashboard walks you through creating your first quote, job, and invoice.

Can employees update jobs from the shop floor?

Yes. Shop access codes let employees update status from shared devices without giving them full administrative access.

Does it replace QuickBooks?

PCL can handle operational accounting features, invoicing, payments, receivables, payables, reconciliation, and reporting. Some shops may still choose to keep QuickBooks for their accountant or year-end workflow.

Can customers approve quotes and pay online?

Yes. The customer portal supports quote approval, invoices, payments, messaging, appointments, and account information where enabled by the shop.

What happens after the trial?

You choose the plan that fits your shop. There is no credit card required to start the trial, so nothing automatically bills you just for testing it.
