Every Logo, Every Format, One Cloud Platform
Store, organise, and deliver embroidery files (EMB, DST, PES, EXP, JEF), print separations, and digital artwork from a single cloud hub. Tracker eliminates lost files, wrong versions, and manual searching — so your team always grabs the right logo in seconds. Whether you run a five-head embroidery shop or a multi-location enterprise with thousands of customer logos across embroidery, DTG, DTF, and screen printing, Tracker scales with you.
Why Garment Decorators Struggle with Logo Files
The average embroidery or DTG shop manages thousands of customer logos across dozens of formats. Without a purpose-built system, files get lost in shared drives, operators stitch the wrong version, and reprints eat into margins. According to industry surveys, embroidery shops lose an average of 3–5% of annual revenue to wrong-version reprints and misplaced files. Tracker solves this with a centralised, searchable, version-controlled cloud vault purpose-built for garment decoration workflows.
Centralised Cloud Storage
Every EMB, DST, PES, and print-separation file lives in one searchable cloud vault. No more digging through folders, USB sticks, or email attachments. Tag logos by customer, decoration method, stitch count, thread palette, and garment type for instant retrieval.
Version Control & Audit Trail
Track every revision with automatic version history. Know who changed what, when, and why — and roll back instantly if a customer requests an older version. The audit trail satisfies licensed team-gear compliance requirements from leagues and licensors.
Barcode-Triggered Retrieval
Scan a job barcode and Tracker delivers the correct logo file directly to your Barudan bNET, Tajima Pulse, DTG printer, or DTF transfer system — no manual lookup required. Operators never touch a file explorer again.
Tracker vs. Generic File Storage
Dropbox, Google Drive, and even legacy digitising software can hold files — but none understand the garment decoration workflow. Here's how Tracker's purpose-built logo management compares to generic alternatives.

Complete Logo Lifecycle Management
Multi-Format Support
Store embroidery formats (EMB, DST, PES, EXP, JEF, XXX), print-ready files (AI, EPS, PDF, PSD), and separation files for screen printing — all tagged to the customer and logo name. Tracker auto-detects file type on upload and indexes stitch counts, colour palettes, and hoop sizes for embroidery files.
Digital Proof Creation
Generate professional digital proofs with logo placement mockups, thread-colour swatches, and stitch counts. Send proofs for customer approval with one click — comments and approvals tracked in-app. Proofs render on mobile, tablet, and desktop so customers approve anywhere.
Customer Logo Portals
Give customers secure self-service access to their logo library. They can browse approved artwork, request new logos, and reorder decorated products — reducing your admin workload by up to 60%. Portal access is role-based so brand managers control which logos are available.
Machine-Ready Delivery
Push logo files to embroidery machines (Barudan bNET, Tajima Pulse), DTG printers, DTF transfer systems, and screen-burn units via barcode scanning — zero manual file transfers. The file arrives at the machine with the correct needle settings, thread sequence, and hoop configuration pre-loaded.
Real-World Example: Licensed Team Gear Logo Management
A mid-size decorator managing 200+ licensed sports logos for school and recreational leagues faced constant compliance issues — the wrong logo version on a team jersey meant costly reprints and league fines.

- No version control — operators sometimes stitched last season's logo
- Manual file transfer to Tajima machines via USB
- 4.2% reprint rate due to wrong-version errors
- League compliance audits took 2+ days to prepare
After Tracker
- All logos in searchable cloud vault, tagged by team, league, and season
- Auto-version control with approval-locked current version
- Barcode scan delivers correct file to Tajima Pulse instantly
- Reprint rate dropped to 0.3%
- Compliance audits completed in 2 hours with exported audit trail
How Tracker's Logo Management Works
Upload & Tag
Drag-and-drop logo files into Tracker. The system auto-detects format (EMB, DST, PES, AI, EPS, PSD), assigns to the correct customer, and indexes by logo name, stitch count, colour palette, hoop size, and decoration method. Bulk-import tools handle migrations from existing file servers.
Proof & Approve
Create digital proofs with placement views, thread charts, and garment mockups. Email or portal-share with the customer. They approve, request changes, or add comments — all tracked with timestamps. For licensed team gear, route proofs through the league compliance officer before production.
Produce & Deliver
When production starts, the operator scans the job barcode. Tracker pushes the approved logo file directly to the Barudan bNET embroidery head, Tajima Pulse queue, DTG printer, or screen-burn unit. The file arrives with pre-configured needle assignments and thread sequences — no searching, no wrong versions.
Archive & Reuse
Completed logos are archived with full production history including actual run times, stitch counts, and QA results. When the customer reorders, the exact same file — with proven settings — is retrieved instantly. Seasonal updates create new versions while preserving the archive.
