The Pros

1. Print shop MIS systems can significantly automate, speed up and organize almost every business and production management role in your shop, whether it’s large or small, litho or copier-based. Depending on the product you buy and the options chosen, they can handle:

• Business management: RFQs, estimates and quotes, customer orders, real-time job costing and tracking with shop-floor data collection, purchasing, raw material and finished goods inventory, invoicing, departmental chargeback, connections to popular accounting packages and shipping.
