Big expenses are little expenses added up. Pricing estimates and jobs with a calculator is a time hog, a turn-of-the-century administrative expense still weighing down the front office. By contrast, every extra hour spent in the shop or calling on customers has the potential to enhance your bottom line.

It won't take long before those dollars saved will show on your balance sheet as dollars earned.

"You get what you pay for"

That's good advice when you're buying a yacht but debatable when you're shopping for software. Some of the most highly rated programs are completely free to use, and more than a few are at the head of their class. Take Wordpress, Google, Facebook. So why pay $595 for the Morning Flight Gold Edition when you can download our FreeRide Program and not spend a dime?

Fair question. Look at it this way: The FreeRide is to a bicycle what the Gold and Pixelblitz editions are to pretty much anything on wheels with a motor. If you had to walk 45 minutes to get to school every day, then a bicycle would be a godsend. A free bicycle? Like winning the lottery. As for taking the next step up and buying a car, the whole point of investing in a Print Management System is to let you work more efficiently, and that opens the door to higher profits.

You'll know when you've outgrown the bicycle.

On as many as you like within the same corporate entity, in no more than two business locations. Using the program at home doesn't count.
No Fees. We don't nickel and dime our customers.
Yes, if the program hasn't been downloaded yet. No, if it has. All our programs are sold with a perpetual use license and, once installed, lack any connection to the mothership. No cookies, no software keys, no remote off-switch of any kind. If we issued refunds for downloaded programs, nothing would prevent someone from buying and installing a paid version, ask for credit, then use the installed program forever. That's why we urge every potential Morning Flight buyer to please download one of our free demos and give it a thorough workout before ordering and downloading a paid version.
Current editions are designed for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, or 10. They will run on newer Macs equipped with the Intel chip, plus Windows and either Boot Camp or Parallels. We're not planning to offer native versions.
Think "Essential" now and move up when you need to

You can always upgrade for just the difference in price. All Morning Flight editions share the same database. When you outgrow one, it's easy to scale up to another by merely swapping out programs. All the data you entered will still be there, waiting.
