## What IEBC is
IEBC is an embroidery-software product family. Ivixico Embroidery Business Cloud is a multi-tenant web SaaS: every embroidery business has its own tenant workspace with separate business settings, users, clients, files, Merch Stores, production records and subscription state. Owners, employees, clients and eligible vendors use role-specific access rather than one shared administrator account.

## IEBC Instant Digitizer — current functions
- PNG, JPG and WebP artwork input with artwork, background and color analysis controls.
- Automated embroidery geometry and stitch planning using satin, tatami/fill and running stitch strategies where appropriate.
- Editable Design Studio elements with selection, delete/restore, sewing order, stitch type, thread color, flow, angle, underlay, routing and border/outline controls.
- Element reordering, multi-select editing, border width and contour/hole scope controls.
- Regeneration after edits so simulator, metrics and downloads reflect the updated stitch plan.
- Tajima DST machine-file export and branded Production PDF export.
- Production metrics including stitch count, finished size, colors/color changes, jumps, trims, estimated thread usage and estimated sew time where available.
- Stitch-path simulator showing encoded stitches, jumps, trims and color-change events.
- Private projects that can be reopened, renamed, searched, archived/restored and regenerated.
- Individual email delivery of DST and Production PDF plus paid bulk ZIP download/email for selected projects.
- Cap and flat-garment workflow support with embroidery-oriented size guidance.
- Shared IEBC account integration so eligible generated files can be used with Business Cloud jobs and the Embroidery Price Calculator.
- Limited access with smaller size/usage limits and Premium access with Design Studio, simulator, delivery and bulk tools.
- Automated software output that requires production review and a physical sew-out before manufacturing.

### Instant Digitizer access
- Limited baseline: up to 4 x 4 inches (101.6 x 101.6 mm), minimum dimension 10 mm, baseline allowance 3 generations/24h and 9/30 days. Design Studio, simulator, email and bulk tools require Premium/full access.
- Premium standalone: up to 12 x 12 inches (304.8 x 304.8 mm), full Design Studio, simulator, email and bulk tools, private editable projects, cap/flat workflows and unlimited generations while active subject to service safeguards. Current standalone launch checkout text shows $500/month or $3,240/year and a 3-day trial where offered. Premium also includes IEBC White Label Business Cloud.
- Automated digitizing is not a human digitizing service. Generated files are not guaranteed production-ready and must be reviewed and physically sew-tested on representative material before manufacturing.

## Price Calculator
The Embroidery Project Price Calculator supports a known stitch-cost method or machine/operator runtime costing, multiple embroidery locations, garment/material cost, waste/remake allowance, machine and labor cost, overhead, target profit margin, minimum job price, rush surcharge, discounts, payment fees, rounding and a thread-spool helper. It can parse Tajima DST and optionally analyze a Wilcom Production Worksheet PDF for reported production data.

## Current integration boundaries
QuickBooks Online is implemented for supported customers, products/services, invoices and recorded payments. Merch Store payment providers depend on plan and the shop's own provider account. White Label exposes scoped API tokens and signed outgoing webhooks and can use Zapier Catch Hook URLs. Live supplier inventory/catalog feeds, SMS/Twilio, native App Store/Play Store apps and automatic carrier label/rate buying are not bundled current core features. IEBC provides a responsive installable PWA.

# Detailed workflow reference

## Tenant and account model
A tenant represents one embroidery business. Tenant-owned settings and records include business identity, subscription/plan entitlements, employees, teams, clients, files, jobs, quotes, invoices, production data, stores and integration configuration. Employee and external-user permissions are separate from the owner. Client portals expose only the customer's permitted records. Vendor/digitizer accounts on eligible plans are external production participants rather than full employees.

## CRM, requests and jobs
Clients have codes/contact data, invitations/access requests and linked business activity. Public quote, mockup and order forms can capture artwork, placement/size and other production requirements. Accepted quote/mockup work can be converted into jobs without discarding the linked customer/files. Embroidery and printing jobs can include assignment, due date, rush state, production status/history, tracking and production specifications.

## Artwork and files
Artwork, proofs, references and production files can be attached to the correct client/job/quote. Access can remain internal, be shared to the client or be made requestable. Artwork Approval requests are scoped to an exact quote/order, can use existing related client artwork or a newly uploaded proof, and provide a secure approval/change workflow with notifications.

## Production Management
Resources can represent embroidery machines, presses, workstations or people. Shops configure daily available minutes and simultaneous-job limits, then schedule jobs by resource, date/start time, work type, required minutes and priority. Tasks have assignee, due date, priority, status and linked records. Eligible automations can react to events by creating tasks/notifications. The manual catalog stores SKU, brand, category, colors, sizes, cost, markup and price. Packing slips, production file uploads and Code 39 labels/barcodes support shop-floor and fulfillment work.

## Pricing
Pricing Matrices are repeatable quoting rules using quantity, stitches, garment cost, setup fee, minimum charge and garment markup. They are separate from the detailed Embroidery Project Price Calculator, which is intended for a single project and can combine multiple embroidery locations, DST/Wilcom data, garment/material cost, waste, runtime/labor, overhead, fees and margin.

## Vendors, purchasing and receiving
Business and White Label plans can maintain vendor/supplier/contractor/digitizer profiles. Eligible vendor users can receive assignments, update status and exchange relevant files without employee-level access. Manual purchase orders contain vendor line items and quantities. Receiving can be partial or full so received, short and outstanding quantities remain visible. These workflows do not require a live supplier inventory API.

## Sales and reporting
Eligible Sales Pipeline states include lead, qualified, quoted, negotiation, won and lost. Sales reporting includes views such as monthly collected payment and pipeline value.

## Invoices and accounting
IEBC invoices can stay connected to one or more jobs, maintain balance/due data, manual payment instructions, customer payment claims and recorded payments. QuickBooks Online support currently covers customers, products/services, invoices and recorded payments, with queued/background checks plus manual import/export/two-way controls. If the connected Intuit account supports QuickBooks Payments, invoice email can use an Intuit-hosted payment link; card/bank entry remains on Intuit's hosted page.

## Merch Stores
Merch Stores are customer-facing storefronts separate from the internal admin portal. They support product pages, images/options, stock/order controls, personalization, fundraiser allocation, cart, guest or account checkout, six-digit email verification for new accounts, saved contact/delivery information, pickup/shipping, plan-based payment providers, fulfillment statuses, receipts/tracking and signed-in order history. Flexible country rates/free-shipping thresholds/quote-after-order shipping are plan dependent.

## Developer integrations
White Label can create scoped API tokens for supported REST resources/operations, including supported clients, orders, tasks and catalog use cases. Outgoing webhooks post events to HTTPS endpoints, include X-IEBC-Signature and use retry processing. A Zapier Catch Hook can be configured as a webhook destination. API/Webhooks are owner/developer functions, not customer portal configuration.

## Instant Digitizer analysis and editor
Supported raster input is PNG, JPG/JPEG and WebP. Input analysis includes color/background cleanup controls and a 10-color analysis ceiling in the current analyzer. The automated planner creates embroidery-oriented geometry and selects satin, tatami/fill or running-stitch strategies according to artwork geometry/detail. The Design Studio exposes element enable/delete/restore, sewing order/reorder, route-after, stitch type, thread color, flow style, angle, underlay override, border/outline type and width, contour/hole scope and multi-select editing. Updating stitches regenerates the actual stitch path and downstream outputs.

## Instant Digitizer outputs and simulator
The system exports Tajima DST and a branded Production PDF. Reported/project metrics can include stitch count, movement records, finished size, color count, color changes, jumps, trims/encoded trim cues, estimated thread meters and estimated sew time where available. The simulator replays the exported path and machine-event sequence including stitches, jumps, trims and color changes. Users can play/pause/scrub/reload the simulation.

## Instant Digitizer projects and delivery
Projects are private to the account and can be reopened, edited/regenerated, renamed, searched, paginated, archived and restored. Full/Premium workflows can email one project's DST + Production PDF, create a bulk ZIP where selected projects receive their own DST/PDF folders, or email the selected-project ZIP. Eligible shared-account Business Cloud workflows can use saved DST files with related jobs and the Embroidery Price Calculator.

## Production responsibility
Automatic digitizing uses heuristics and cannot guarantee a correct physical sew-out. Artwork resolution, final size, fabric, backing/stabilizer, thread, needle, machine tension/setup and stitch choices affect production. Review the stitch plan, Production PDF and DST in appropriate embroidery software and complete a physical sew-out on representative material before production.
