Print Art Implements Avanti's Print Management Software
JDF Integration provides a seamless link between Design, Prepress, Production and Finishing
January 10, 2008 - Atlantic City, New Jersey - Print Art Inc. announced today that is going live with its Avanti's Print Management System to streamline its business workflow.
Print Art provides printing services to some of the largest retailers, financial and gaming companies in New Jersey and needed a new way to manage the changing customer expectations it has experienced over the past few years. Providing all services in-house, Print Art offers the highest quality in design, prepress, printing, foil stamping, embossing, die cutting, bindery and fulfillment services.
"Our customers are looking for a 'one-stop shop' for all of their printing needs and, at the same time, have really raised the bar in what they expect in terms of customer service" said Carlton Blase, Print Art's President and CEO. "In order to deliver on that, we realized we needed a system to help streamline our operation and provide faster turnaround time on everything: estimating, quoting, proofs, and production."
Print Art will be leveraging the full suite of Avanti's Print MIS solution for web-to-print, estimating, job ticketing, costing and tracking, scheduling, inventory management as well as JDF integrations into their prepress software. The Avanti system provides a seamless way for production information to flow from web-based job submission through to shipping, without the need to re-key information, while providing everyone in Customer Service with real time updates on the status of a shop as it flows through the shop.
"Every time someone has to touch a job, a print shop increases turnaround time and loses profit." commented Patrick Bolan, Avanti's President and CEO. "Avanti provides Print Art with the tools they need to exceed customer expectations and deliver on their promise of delivering projects of superior quality, on time and within budget."
