The digital print company Printforce in Alphen aan de Rijn has worked with the online application FlowSuite for over three years. Printforce specializes in the production of small projects as well as the rapid reproduction of high-volume documents. Quality, precision, and flexibility are therefore of great importance.

For Printforce it was of primary importance to find a complete software solution that included different interfaces for front office and back office production activities. At Printforce orders are entered in three ways. You can enter orders in the traditional way via the customer service department. Alternatively, you can use the online interface provided by Applify FlowOnline, which is a web-to-print application. Another option is to transfer projects to FlowSuite via XML. In addition to using XML to enter orders, management can retrieve information from FlowSuite through XML.

 

On the work floor, FlowSuite minimizes the number of mistakes that are made by automating the conversion of open files (doc/xls/ppt) to PDF. This means that files of any type are ready to print in no time. You can also save money by printing in clusters, and preflight tasks can be set up to occur automatically. It is also easy to manage employee timesheets with barcode scanning, and labor costs are an important factor to keep in mind with digital production. FlowSuite was therefore able to provide a solution that met all of Printforce's requirements.

Since Applify is always updating FlowSuite to keep up with the latest trends in the graphics market, it has been easy for Printforce to keep itself competitive while using FlowSuite. Applify's industry expertise ensures that FlowSuite will continue to play an integral role in Printforce's infrastructure as new technologies emerge in the future.
