ikeGPS announced a new exclusive reselling agreement with Spicers Sign and Display that introduces distribution of Spike, a smart laser measurement solution, to the Australian sign and digital graphics industry. This move comes following ikeGPS' successful Spike launch across the U.S. sign market over the last year. With nine locations and more than 5,000 customers throughout Australia, Spicers Sign and Display is one of the sign supply resellers.

Spicers Sign and Display offers a complete suite of wide-format printing solutions and carries a selection of the brands, such as 3M, EFI, Epson, Hewlett-Packard Co. and Mimaki. Spike allows sign and digital graphics professionals to quickly capture accurate measurements of the width, height and area of signage locations from a smartphone or tablet picture.

A ladder, bucket truck and tape measure are no longer required to create estimates, 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.

There's no need to return to the site for further measurements or estimations.
