What is a print management ERP platform?
A print management ERP platform is software that helps print companies, print resellers and manufacturers manage pricing, product catalogs, suppliers, quotations, orders and invoicing within a single system. Instead of using separate applications for different processes, users work from one integrated platform.
The print management ERP platform automates print workflows and connects procurement, sales and production processes. This provides greater visibility into pricing, margins, order status and suppliers while reducing manual work and duplicate data entry.
Who should use a print management ERP platform?
A print management ERP platform is designed for print resellers, print managers, commercial printers and manufacturers that want to centralize pricing, procurement, sales and order management. Both organizations without their own production facilities and companies operating their own equipment can use the platform to manage pricing, orders, product catalogs and online print sales.
Its modular structure allows the platform to be configured for different workflows and business models within the print industry.
How does print pricing and estimating work in the platform?
The pricing calculator calculates selling prices based on your own equipment, materials, finishing options and production settings. Product prices are automatically generated from these calculations, allowing pricing updates to be reflected immediately across product catalogs, quotations and sales channels.
This ensures that users always work with up-to-date pricing and can process quotations and orders more efficiently.
What is the Prindustry Marketplace?
The Prindustry Marketplace is an online platform that connects print manufacturers and resellers. Manufacturers publish their products and product data, while resellers can source products, sell them and connect them to their own webshops or ordering environments.
With real-time product information, pricing updates and supplier integrations, print businesses can expand their product offering without having to produce every product themselves.
Can the platform be integrated with webshops and Brand Portals?
Yes. The print management ERP platform can be integrated with webshops, ordering portals and Brand Portals for online print sales and order processing. This allows procurement, sales, pricing and orders to be managed centrally within a single system.
The platform can also be used as a standalone solution with an integrated ordering portal, enabling customers to order print products through their own online environment.
Which systems can be integrated with the platform?
The print management ERP platform can be integrated with ERP software, accounting systems, procurement platforms, webshops, online editors and other business applications. Examples include AFAS, Exact, Twinfield, SAP and Gripp.
These integrations automate data exchange and help align print, order management and administrative processes across the organization.
How does the platform automate order processing?
The print management ERP platform automates order processing from quotation and order entry through production and invoicing. Orders can be routed automatically to manufacturers, suppliers or internal production workflows.
This reduces manual tasks, accelerates workflows and provides greater control over order status, planning and fulfillment.
Is the platform suitable for managing multiple suppliers and manufacturers?
Yes. The print management ERP platform supports workflows involving multiple suppliers, manufacturers and product catalogs within one centralized environment. This enables print businesses to combine different production partners for pricing, procurement, sales and order management.
As a result, supply and demand from multiple parties can be managed efficiently without relying on disconnected systems or manual processes.
