Reduce your operating costsImprove your customer service
Improve your efficiency
Competition in the marketplace is fierce. The need to
stay competitive demands new degrees of efficiency –
while improving quality and customer service.
The publishing industry is changing rapidly as the latest
technologies create new opportunities. Many publishers now
outsource production to high-volume printing companies who
are concentrating on reducing unit costs by adopting ever-
increasing levels of automation.
Editors have adopted digital ways to create their pages; and
the printers have installed digital devices to create the printing
plates. The result is a digital chain linking editors to printers as
files are sent back and forth electronically. Printers' prepress
departments have become highly technical with printers being
forced to hire expensive technologists and operators to cope
with all the new machines.
All this can be streamlined with a
new solution from Flowman.
Flowman streamlines the preparation of digital artwork for the
press. By making prepress work as efficiently as possible and
by sharing infrastructure costs across multiple printers, Flowman
can reduce your costs and improve your customer service:
Flowman cuts costs for printers, improves the speed of response
to customers, and improves efficiency for both editors and
printers. This is achieved by combining the latest technologies
with professional support, maintenance and process control
services.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could simultaneously...
- always have enough production capacity
- enjoy costs that simply scale according to load
- eliminate compensation claims for output errors
- receive instructions from all customers in a
standard format
- enjoy web-based customer service
- stay up dated even when you are away from the plant
As a Flowman customer you get it all with one agreement
All of this, even a little more, exists in modern-day printing
houses that have a Flowman workflow service agreement.
Flowman software and services enable you to focus on your
core business needs without you needing to worry about keeping
your prepress capabilites up to date
