How does automation add value to print production?

The key to effective supply chain management (SCM) is Demand Planning (the process of accurately predicting which prints customers will order and at what volume).

Highly automated print businesses can deliver real-time decision-making for demand planning. The mapping of customer data, checking demand and supply using automation analytics helps offer visibility allowing printers to innovate while keeping the market trends in mind.

In this regard, implementing a web-to-print solution offers an intuitive and interactive portal that empowers customers and helps businesses grow. The software removes the silos effect in the print workflow. It processes an entire print job from order to delivery with minimum human intervention.

Web-to-print automation processes repeat online orders in lesser time frames as was done traditionally. Web-to-print solutions create the print job tickets to ensure finishing is consistent and production information gets stored in the template for future research and innovation. It provides an end-to-end of the print workflow cycle and addresses bottlenecks.

“Knowing the pulse of the market,” the appeal of automated workflows has motivated printers to adopt them and remain open even during the lockdown; while also maximizing efficiency in order processing and delivery.
