Litho Estimating
Litho Estimating is the starting point for planning your job. All information as to how the job will be produced most efficiently comes from a well constructed estimate, which is then translated into the job order. If the estimate is not accurate and complete, neither is the job plan.
Avanti has created an estimating system that addresses the needs of both the highly knowledgeable, experienced estimator and those new to the role by providing a tool that produces fast, consistent, and accurate estimates without any guesswork.
Highlights include:
- “Best Press” wizard ensures you are using the most efficient press for the task. It allows you to see the cost impact of choosing different presses
- Library of estimate templates is available on instant recall to streamline your estimating process
- Supports customer-specific price charts and contracts
- Jobs can be segmented into “sections” that can be run on different presses (web, sheetfed or digital) with different parameters for all elements of the section including prepress and bindery; “Multiple Press Pass” automatically calculates the accurate run-time
- “On-the-fly” price recalculation feature identifies value add, margins and over all job profitability for better decision making
