Printed media is more than ever the foundation of our modern information society. Although many working, selling and information processes have been increasingly digitalised in the last few years, the significance of printed media is still noticeable.
In fact, the variety and quality has increased considerably.

Having said that, in the course of the distribution of broadband internet access and with that, the associated transfer of order processing to the internet in many industries, the price pressure on trading and production has got much stronger.
In particular, the printing business has been experiencing incredible cost pressure that has arisen from the competition on the internet in the last few years.

In order to withstand the price pressure, thee is only one possibility:

accelerate working processes, rationalise avoidable working steps and reduce the amount of work involved and costs.

However, you should not rationalise your customers out of existence! The upholding of quality standards and the highest possible service level is the key to building long-term customer relations.

Even if the personal contact to your customers cannot be as intensive as before, they should still have the feeling that their jobs are in safe hands.
Data receiving and allocation for the corresponding jobs are both tasks which are often underestimated in terms of the time involved.

FILEBOX can optimise critical working processes regarding this issue:
Incoming data can be automatically allocated to the jobs already received. Data entry becomes transparent ? all employees involved can track the job status and the customer is automatically informed of the successful completion of their job.

Misunderstandings when receiving jobs are avoided through the usage of clear job descriptions in the job tickets. Job releases can be quickly and conveniently handled via FILEBOX?s release function.

These features are part of the standard equipment of FILEBOX. The costs amount to ?11-66 per month depending on the selected FILEBOX size.

Companies with multiple locations in particular are, of course, interested in utilising their existing capacity in an optimal manner.

The distribution of jobs between the various locations is frequently sluggish or not flexible enough to deal with sudden changes to deadlines.

In such situations, FILEBOX, as a central job administration system for all locations, can help you to handle jobs quickly and unbureaucratically at the location which currently has the most available capacity.

The increasing trend of customers processing printing jobs online is putting smaller printers under considerable pressure. In particular, business documents, flyers and small brochures are being offered at low prices by online printers.

The corresponding prices are only achievable by having perfectly coordinated workflow and a high level of automation.
The provision of standardised printing products via online shops offers more cost saving opportunities that cannot be compared with individual estimates.

With carefully calculated printing products, there is little doubt that online printers can continue to takeover further market segments.

DTPBOX offers a modular, extendable solution that, starting with the basis functionality in the job tickets, provides opportunities to process printing jobs online.

With a comparatively low investment, the shop front-end can be extended to become a professional internet printing business.

The extension options range from job entry via the internet, to ERP integration, up to automated production environments.
