When Cathy Skoglund comes to work each day at Arizona State University’s Print & Imaging Lab, she has two important goals in mind: provide hands-on training for tomorrow’s graphic communication industry leaders — and sell enough print to fund goal #1.
The Lab, which operates as a self-sufficient print shop, is home to at least 16 students at any given time, delivering print fulfillment and design services for the Arizona State University comunity. Web-to-print represents nearly 70% of its business. It has a range of equipment including digital presses, digital large-format printers, offset presses and a wide array of finishing equipment.
The operation needs to work efficiently, accurately, within deadlines and - since campus departments are under no obligation to patronize the lab − maintain a high level of customer satisfaction. There were challenges. Full-time employees and students were trying to manage multiple “islands of automation” — standalone systems for functions such as estimating, ftp & job submission, web-to-print, invoicing, shipping and purchase order generation.
The systems were only tied together by manually re-entering the information among disparate applications. Particularly troubling was their homegrown estimating system, which was non-intuitive, cumbersome and left much room for error. The system was based around two Excel spreadsheets, with cell formulas constantly in need of fine-tuning to accommodate the nuances of each job. “As a print and imaging lab, it’s natural to experience a high turnover rate,” states Skoglund. “Our old system was simply too complicated and diffi- cult to understand. Only two of us had the experience needed to produce an accurate estimate, including myself!” READ THE CASE STUDY
