SignTraker Features You Might Not Be Using—But Should
If you’re using SignTraker to manage your real estate sign installs, you’re already saving time. But did you know there are powerful features built right in that many users miss? These tools can help you work faster, look more professional, and give your team a better experience.
Here are five SignTraker features you might not be using—yet.
Auto-Assignment Saves Time Every Day
With Auto-Assignment, you don’t need to manually assign each job to an installer. SignTraker can automatically assign jobs based on ZIP code or service area. This means less admin work for you and faster scheduling for your team.
Use Impersonation for Faster Help
The Impersonate feature lets Admins log in “as” a user without needing their password. If an agent calls and says they’re stuck placing an order, you can jump in, see exactly what they see, and place the order for them. It’s a huge time-saver and makes support easy.
Service Area Overlays Make Routing Smarter
Tired of long drives or service areas that don’t match your real coverage? You can now set mapped service areas—drawn directly on the map. This gives you better control of pricing and coverage, especially in places where ZIP codes don’t tell the whole story.
Custom Questions Keep You Informed
Need more info at install time? You can set up custom questions on order forms—like “Is the house vacant?” or “Where should we place the sign?” It reduces guesswork, helps avoid mistakes, and keeps installers happy.
Email Broadcasts Keep Agents Informed
Need to let all your agents know about weather delays, new services, or reminders? Use SignTraker’s Email Broadcasts. You can send branded messages from your own address—no “noreply” needed. It’s a simple way to keep everyone in the loop without leaving the system.
Use the Unified Task List to See Everything in One Place
Instead of switching between different screens for installs, removals, and services, try the Unified Task List. It shows all open jobs—no matter the type—in one easy view. You can filter by installer, status, or due date and even bulk reassign or unassign orders if someone calls out sick. It’s a powerful way to manage your daily workflow faster and with fewer clicks.
QuickBooks® Integration Speeds Up Your Billing
SignTraker connects directly to QuickBooks, so your orders and payments flow right into your accounting system. No more entering data twice. It handles invoices, payments, sales tax, and even partial payments—saving you time and reducing errors.
Sell Ads Right on Your Dashboard
SignTraker lets you post ads directly on the agent dashboard. You can promote your own services—like brochure boxes or printing—or sell space to local vendors. It’s an easy way to earn extra income or push out useful info every agent sees when they log in.
Cost Centers Let Brokerages Share the Bill
With Cost Centers, brokerages can choose which fees they want to cover—and which ones agents will pay. For example, the office might pay for installs and removals, but leave rush fees or brochure boxes to the agent. It’s a flexible way to manage billing that keeps everyone happy.
SignTraker Academy Makes Learning Easy
New team member? Need a refresher? SignTraker Academy has step-by-step video tutorials built right into the system. You’ll find guides for owners, agents, and installers—so everyone can learn how to use the platform, place orders, or manage inventory without needing one-on-one training.
Conclusion
These hidden gems in SignTraker aren’t just “nice to have.” They’re tools that can help you run smoother, respond faster, and grow without adding more admin work. If you’re not using them yet, now’s a great time to start. Need help turning any of these on? Let us know—we’re here to help!
