Compare DocketManager vs. Docket

DocketManager was built by printers for printers. The System is a cloud-based print management solution MIS with an integrated Web-toPrint. This powerful software is designed to allow you to manage your entire company from one platform. DocketManager can handle hybrid shops, including digital, offset, wide format and label. It also supports in-plant/edu and specialty markets.

Docket serves as a tool for managing scope changes specifically designed for studios and agencies, addressing a common oversight in tracking mid-project client requests. Clients can easily submit change requests via a structured link that doesn't necessitate account creation, where they outline their desires, rationales, reference materials, and deadlines. Once a request is made, you are promptly notified to evaluate its implications, allowing you to accept, decline, or initiate a discussion, while also incorporating cost and timeline estimates. Docket then produces a clear summary — for example, "Adding the dashboard: +3 days, +$800. Approval required before work begins" — and circulates this information back to the client as a link, making it convenient for them to approve or reject the request within seconds. Each approval process is meticulously timestamped, attributed, and archived permanently, complete with email notifications and click tracking, along with optional verification for projects of high financial significance. The comprehensive log associated with every project is filterable and can be exported as a signed PDF, which is valuable for invoicing or resolving any disputes that may arise, ensuring a transparent and organized workflow. Furthermore, this structured approach enhances communication and accountability between agencies and clients, minimizing misunderstandings and streamlining project management.
