AVANTI NEWSBRIEF | JUNE 2017
There has been a tremendous amount of change in the print industry, even more so in the last few years. As the owner or manager of a print shop, that means you have a lot going on. Chances are you’re managing a variety of print types including offset, digital, and large or wide format. Perhaps you're also co-ordinating mailing. Upstream, you might be offering marketing services to feed print, which requires managing data and providing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools and expertise. You may also be offering fulfillment services and solutions. All of this impacts your business processes, from estimation through to invoicing and reporting.
The truth is that automation is the clear path to profitability; it increases operational efficiency and reduces your manual workload. And while there are many ways in which automation impacts ROI, we’ve compiled this Top Ten List that our clients have automated to help them significantly improve their bottom line, saving them both time and money. Learn how automating commonly performed activities with Avanti Slingshot can increase efficiency and free up time during this pre-recorded, hour-long discussion and demonstration.
Is your workflow causing pain to your bottom line?Do you suffer from Islands of Automation?
Do you want to run more jobs with fewer resources?
Do you want to get paid faster through streamlined billing?

Workflow Healthcheck?One of the greatest challenges facing printers today is managing growth. How do you handle the rise in short-run digital jobs for quoting, ticketing, tracking, costing and billing? How do you connect your front-of-the-house, business processes with your back-of-the-house production processes, while simultaneously negotiating better vendor rates, and creating/reconciling purchase orders? And how can you manage the flow of information from self-serve, web-to-print portals … and still keep your customers satisfied? You know automation is key to your print shop’s
profitability. We know making that change is hard. Discover why more growing print shops trust their workflow to Avanti Slinghsot Print MIS.
There is no question that we have been plagued with the “print is dead” stigma for far too long. Yet no matter how much we push through it, or the advances we make in eco-friendly solutions – or that print has evolved beyond “ink on paper” to a myriad of substrates and applications, from textiles to car wraps to displays – the “old school” stigma prevails: Print is not cool. Why is this the case?
Is it because we are so busy getting jobs out the door that we no longer have time to develop customer partnerships? If that’s the case, then what are your plans to streamline your processes? How will you drive new business if you are in a constant, reactive state?
Find out how Avanti has helped digital, offset, hybrid and large/grand format shops meet customer demands efficiently and cost effectively. Discover the critical role that MIS can play in your organization to help you achieve your goals by joining us for one of our
upcoming live webinars Thursdays at 2PM EST.

Quick and Easy Large Format & Grand Format Estimating with Avanti Slingshot
Historically, Large & Grand Format printing required years of experience in both estimating and production planning to properly manage. Avanti Slingshot’s Grand Format Estimating simplifies the process by taking into consideration unique imposition/layouts, material requirements, edge sealing, grommet placement, square inc/feet calculations and substrate utilization to optimize workflow. It accounts for all aspects of the process, including tiling, handling multiple rolls across the bed, ganging, as well as logistics (e.g. finishing, assembly, installation and multi-location shipping). We'll show you how estimates are easily turned into job orders with the click of the mouse and how to significantly save time and reduce costs throughout the print production process by eliminating points at which human intervention is
typically required.
