Sell the machine. Earn the software.
PlatenFlow ships with every DTG & DTF machine. You keep your hardware margin and add a recurring software residual on every shop — $50/month per account plus 10% on the modules they add, for the life of the account.
See what you actually make.
Share of active shops that cancel each month. 0% = every account you bring on stays.
Residual rates are fixed by the program and confirmed in your partner agreement. Everything above is yours to set.
Illustrative. Hardware margin, cost, modules, and churn are your inputs; the $50 base residual and 10% module share are the fixed program rates. Software is billed by Dockery Corporation (PlatenFlow), the merchant of record. Final terms per your signed partner agreement.
A production system ready for the equipment you just sold them.
Their machine prints garments. PlatenFlow runs the shop around it — so the software keeps earning you a residual because the customer keeps depending on it.
Machine-ready workflow
Production tuned for the DTG/DTF machine they just bought.
DTG + DTF included
Both decoration methods in the base plan, day one.
Barcode piece tracking
Every garment tracked by piece through every station.
Production queues
Live queues route work automatically by method and station.
QC + reprint control
Catch and reprint mistakes before anything ships.
Shipping verification
Address + label verification so the right box goes out.
Unlimited users & stations
No per-seat meter — put it on every screen in the shop.
Shopify / ShipStation
Orders sync in, labels flow out, nothing re-keyed.
“You’re not just getting the printer — you’re getting the production system to run it.”
One platform from order intake to the box leaving the building.
Hardware is a one-time sale. Software is forever.
Keep your margin, add a residual
You still make your full hardware margin. PlatenFlow adds recurring monthly income on top — for the life of the account.
Nothing extra to sell
PlatenFlow is included with the machine and attaches automatically at checkout. No separate software pitch, no demos to run.
Zero operational load
We onboard the shop, bill them as merchant of record, and handle support. You keep selling machines.
You’re not capped at $50.
Every shop starts here
The moment a shop you sold goes live on PlatenFlow.
Embroidery, screen print, more
You earn 10% recurring on every paid module they turn on.
More methods, more volume
As their needs grow, your residual grows with them.
Recurring, for the life of it
You get paid every month they keep running PlatenFlow.
We make your reps dangerous.
