    Improve customer service and profitability

    In many production print operations, the line from print shop estimating and order entry to billing is not straight.

    • Support multiple lines of business, including offset, digital, large-format, fulfillment, mailing and marketing services, to diversify offerings.
    • Incorporate business intelligence, production planning, warehousing, shipping and billing to streamline operations and customer communications.
    • Rely on industry standards such as JMF and JDF and a robust API for web-to-print integration.
