What CoreBridge does

CoreBridge, Inc. is a privately held, Delaware-incorporated SaaS company founded in 2007 and operating with 11–50 employees from American Fork, Utah. The company provides cloud-based business management software purpose-built for custom manufacturing businesses across the print, sign, graphics, and apparel decoration verticals, including embroidery, screen printing, DTG, and promotional products. The platform unifies estimating, production tracking, invoicing, payments, multi-location management, accounting synchronization, and business intelligence into a single vertical-specific workflow, hosted on Microsoft Azure in the United States. Differentiated modules include built-in pricing intelligence for materials, labor, and vendor costs; visual production boards with milestone-based customer notifications; one-click estimate-to-invoice conversion; QuickBooks/Xero, Stripe/Square/Fiserv/Nexio, Avalara/TaxJar, XPS Ship, SanMar/S&S, and B2Portal integrations; multi-location franchise oversight; and a Cora AI assistant plus AI-powered email-to-estimate ingestion through B2Portal.

The company monetizes exclusively through recurring subscription fees across Standard, Plus, Premium, and Enterprise tiers, billed monthly or annually, with no free trial; Enterprise pricing is quote-based and includes custom implementation. Go-to-market combines self-serve online onboarding for SMBs, a direct enterprise sales motion for large franchise networks (where 70%+ of major sign franchise networks already use CoreBridge, including FastSigns, Signarama, AlphaGraphics, SpeedPro, BigFrog, Signs Now, Signs By Tomorrow, and Allegra Print), and a Partners program for implementation, referral, and franchise consultants. The customer base is concentrated in sign and graphics (the primary vertical), with secondary verticals in custom apparel and embroidery, and large-format print providers. Operations span the United States, Canada, and Australia, supported by region-specific payment and shipping partners.
