Plan signage systems faster.

Sign Stack is a workflow system for signage planning, built by someone who has worked as a designer, wayfinding planner, and sign maker.

A workflow system built for signage planning.

Signage planning still runs on manual workflows

Most signage planning today relies on a combination of general-purpose tools — Illustrator for marking positions, Excel for tracking sign numbering, and PDFs for coordination. This makes signage systems difficult to organize, especially for projects with many signs across multiple floors. The result is a slow and fragmented workflow.

  • Sign positions marked in Illustrator with no structured data
  • Sign numbering and quantities tracked in separate spreadsheets
  • Coordination across floors handled manually
  • Sign schedules prepared from scratch for every project
  • Documentation scattered across multiple files and formats

How most signage projects are managed today

Mark signage positions in Illustrator. Track sign numbering in Excel. Coordinate signage across floors manually. Prepare sign schedules by hand.

This approach is manageable for small projects, but as buildings grow in size and complexity — hotels, malls, mixed-use developments — consistency becomes difficult to maintain.

When sign types repeat across ten floors, the same data needs to be tracked in multiple places. Information gets duplicated, version control becomes unreliable, and errors carry forward.

The core issue is not the tools themselves — it is the absence of a structured workflow that connects sign placement, classification, and documentation in one place.

A structured workflow for signage planning

01

Place on Floorplans

Place signage markers directly on architectural floorplans. Every marker is tied to a floor, a location, and a sign type.

02

Assign Sign Types

Assign sign types and hierarchy to each marker — directional, identification, safety, regulatory — with consistent classification.

03

Consistent Numbering

Maintain consistent sign numbering across your entire project. No manual tracking, no duplicate codes, no lost references.

04

Multi-Floor Organization

Organize signage across multiple floors and zones within a single project workspace. Keep the full picture visible.

05

Auto-Generated Schedules

Generate signage schedules automatically from your placement data — with quantities, codes, and locations already populated.

06

Export Documentation

Export sign schedules, BOQ documents, and PDF reports formatted for client review and production handoff.

How Sign Stack Works

01

Set Up Categories

Define your signage categories — directional, identification, safety, regulatory — to establish the project structure.

02

Create Sign Codes

Create sign codes within each category. Assign naming conventions, quantities, and descriptions.

03

Upload Floorplans

Upload architectural floorplans into your project workspace as the spatial reference.

04

Place Markers

Place sign markers directly on the floorplan to define signage positions with structured placement.

05

Arrange Artboards

Arrange and organize artboards across floors to maintain a clear overview of the full signage system.

06

Export

Export sign schedules, BOQ documents, and PDF reports ready for clients and production.

“Sign Stack was built from real signage project workflows — not theoretical software design. After years of working across graphic design, wayfinding planning, signage production, and factory operations, I built what I wished I had from the start: a clear, structured system for planning signage.”
