ikeGPS Announces Co-Marketing and Integration With SAi

– Spike integrated into design software used by more than 100,000 sign customers –


BROOMFIELD, Colo.—ikeGPS announces a new co-marketing and software integration deal with SA

International and its Flexi software, the sign design software used by more the 100,000 end users. This

integration allows Spike to offer a more full solution to customers with respect to sign design and further

its presence in the sign and digital graphics industry.


With customers in over 50 countries, SAi is a leader in offering software solutions from design to

production for the sign making, digital printing, screen printing and CNC machining industries. SAi also

boasts a large network of resellers, and Flexi offered in more than 13 languages.


“We are excited to partner with such a respected player in the sign and digital graphics industry as we

work toward making Spike a fuller solution that specifically addresses the needs of the sign market,”

says Glenn Milnes, CEO of ikeGPS. “Our integration with SAi’s Flexi is a positive step in expanding

Spike’s reach within the market.”


The new integration allows Flexi users to export a scaled image from the Spike Cloud and import it

directly into Flexi design software. The 1-to-1 scaled image removes several steps from the design

process, enabling sign shops to much more quickly turnaround work estimates with design renderings.


Spike allows sign and digital graphics professionals to quickly and safely capture measurements for

estimates of signage locations from a smartphone or tablet picture and the Spike device. A ladder,

bucket truck and tape measure are no longer required to conduct site surveys and create estimates and

designs, saving sign companies time and overhead costs on a traditionally lengthy process.


The measurements of the sign or graphic location are saved with the Spike photo and can be shared

with customers, designers or production team to create job estimates and design proofs, assess

installation and complete permit applications. If additional measurements are needed, users can refer

to their saved Spike photos at any time to make modifications using the Spike mobile app or Spike

Cloud. There’s no need to return to the site for further measurements or estimates.


ikeGPS and SAi will announce the new integration to the sign and digital grpahics industry at the

International Sign Association Sign Expo in Las Vegas April 20-22, where Spike was last year given the

2016 Innovation Award for the industry. For more information on how Spike is changing the way

measurements and assets are captured and managed, visit www.ikegps.com/spike/.
