What are our CUSTOMERS saying?
Production Center brings TRUE value “
 We grew our job volumes by 600%...from 35 jobs a day to more than 150 since the implementation of Production Center. … “ ”
The visibility of job location at any given time has saved our company lots of money wasted on re-prints and miss communication…. Our main goal is to create more efficient and organized methods for submitting and tracking jobs within out printing department. PC has definitely fulfilled and exceeded our expectation in that regard “
We moved 40% of our SKUs to Indigo because of PC and the automatic Job ticket....We plan on moving additional 30% once PC 1.5 comes out and the inline ticket “
SmartStream Production Center makes it easier to ensure that all jobs get out the door on time and on budget. We use a barcode scanner to allocate different items in each order to a specific assembly bin for final checking of quality and correct number of items. Then, the entire order goes to packing and shipping. This yields huge savings on shipment costs for us ” ” ”
