3M releases new tech tools for graphic manufacturers and installers

Along with offering quality materials and training opportunities to successfully execute signage and display graphic installations, 3M in Minnesota has announced the introduction of two new digital tools to help signage shop owners grow their businesses. The newly introduced tools are the 3M Graphics Install Wizard and the 3M Graphics Hub. The Graphics Install Wizard is a new software application that helps both shop owners and installers. Shop owners can access a database of installers based on location and capabilities, as well as list job opportunities, accept bids and book jobs. It also helps shops manage a consistent workflow and stay organised, serving as a platform to share job details, documents, completion photos and more. For installers, the Wizard is an opportunity to increase visibility and receive more installation work by bidding on new projects.

The Graphics Install Wizard is linked to the new Graphics Hub, which is a free online resource center for graphics manufacturers. The Hub offers valuable educational resources, news on the latest innovations, information on different 3M training programs, as well as a look at the latest trends. In a demanding industry, the Graphics Hub aims to help GMs keep the creative juices flowing and stay ahead of the competition. There is no cost to sign up for and review the Graphics Install Wizard, and it is a free service for graphics manufacturers who use it to locate and manage external installers.
