Easing Into E-commerce

Ned Gibbons, of Noosh, says in addition to allowing everyone involved to monitor jobs in progress, Noosh's collaborative management tool also gives in-plants more control over their print schedules.

"Because of the unique relationship between printer and buyer, a lot of times in-plants probably aren't aware of projects until they're dumped on their laps. There's no bidding process," he says. "Now you become part of a job team. Whether you're the customer service rep, estimator or manager, you're part of this job progress with the people on the buying side of the organization. So in-plants can improve their scheduling and demand forecasts."
