Improve customer service and profitability

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

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.
