EFI has released its Midmarket Productivity Suite, which is geared to enable new business streams, optimise print production and time-to-market, drive efficiency, improve customer service, and grow bottom line revenue.
Specifically created for continuing growth of mid-size printing businesses the Midmarket Productivity Suite consists of EFI Pace software as the core MIS and features marketing automation, eCommerce, web to print, planning, imposition, scheduling, shop floor data collection, fulfillment, warehousing, shipping, and direct integration to JDF-enabled EFI Fiery digital front ends. It delivers, out of the box, 17 certified workflows that offer business and production automation for commercial, digital and wide format printing.
US company PRINT NW has been using the software to implement workflows that span web to print job submissions, scheduling, tracking and accounting capabilities. By managing processes and analysing data with its EFI workflow, the company’s managers found that they could not only do more with the same production resources, but they could also reduce expenses in ways that keep the company highly competitive in the marketplace.
‘Because of the efficient, integrated workflow we have with the Productivity Suite, we are already able to process double the work with the same number of people while achieving better turnaround times,’ according to Troy Olsen, PRINT NW’s systems manager.
The company is also establishing a process to send jobs from web to print submissions directly to the print queue on its Fiery Driven digital presses.
The EFI Midmarket Productivity Suite is available now to new and existing EFI Pace MIS users. Existing Pace licensees can simply upgrade to Release 27.11 to take advantage of the new suite’s benefitss.
