FILEBOX can be integrated into the workflow at every workstation in the company?s network.


Data is available at exactly the place where it is required. Rationalise your working processes in that important job information from your job administration system is automatically synchronised.


Production processes can be simply and effectively designed through the created transparency. Redundant data entries or operation delays caused by missing feedback messages can be avoided.


FILEBOX can be regarded as a central platform which combines self-sufficient systems with each other. FILEBOX has standardised interfaces at its disposal in order to be able to exchange job information with other systems.



We can link our FILEBOX system to existing ERP systems and enable FILEBOX to become a part of your own workflow and, for example, distribute data via the Hotfolder function to your RIP (raster image processing) system.

Interfaces
  • XML-data exchange
  • SQL-interface
  • csv-Im-/Export
  • JDF-Im-/Export (planned)

Jobticket

The basis fort he integration in the workflow environment is the FILEBOX?s job ticket system. All important job information is saved on the job ticket. Additionally, other job ticket formats can be converted and read.


XML is a universal data format which is used in the latest systems to exchange information between different software programmes. JDF format, used with the latest printing machines, is also based on XML.


FILEBOX uses the XML format for its job ticket system, thus enabling compatibility with the latest systems. As a result of this extensively used standard, connecting systems with the XML interface is relatively easily performed as only the XML format has to be adjusted.


We can offer you assistance in optimally integrating FILEBOX into your production environment.


Example - Link to job management

A good example of sensible system integration is the link to job management in a printing company or publishing house.


Take, for example, that your order recording function receives information concerning a new job but the data has not yet been sent.

 


FILEBOX integration could lead to the following situation:


Through the acquisition of job information in the FILEBOX system, the staff would be able to acknowledge the incoming job but would also see that the data is missing.


The staff involved in the preliminary stages of the printing process would not require access to the job administration system.


FILEBOX provides your staff in the preliminary printing stage all the information that would be necessary to process the job.

 

 


The data requirement from the customer can occur fully automatically. The customer or service provider, from whom you still require the missing data, automatically receives an E-mail with an integrated link. Via this, they are directed to the job ticket.


After they have checked the content of the job, they can then send the data and convey this information to the system. The preliminary printing stage is than automatically informed that the required data has entered the system.


In addition to this, the employee involved in job acquisition can be informed, or the job status in the software being used can be amended, if it is supported by the system, or adapted.


Your personal job ticket
  • Data receiving with job information
  • Exact working instructions
  • Jobs without queries
  • Personalised design

Example - copy shop

Should you offer copies, large size printing, stamping or something similar in small print runs, you already know the problems associated with the everyday work. Inexact job details lead to misunderstandings or great administrative effort.



FILEBOX gives you the opportunity, via the job tickets from the customer, to request exactly that information that you require. Sender and point of contact details, job type, paper format, print run and additional specific information can be conveniently requested from the customer via the job ticket. The customer simply fills out the form which can be integrated into your website via a simple link.


The amount of effort required for this solution is limited to the creation of the form according to your details. Basically, this form can be illustrated in a simple online shop that has calculating functions integrated in it.

 


The delivery note and the accompanying invoice can also be supplemented. Your own logo or letter head can be integrated by us free of charge. On balance, this is a professional, internet-based job handling function whose implementation is affordable by even small companies.
