Quote & Print to Release New Modules at Visual Impact Sydney

Quote & Print Software will have ‘something for everyone’ at its Visual Impact stand, focusing on the new Cloud Print ERP software and launching a new Label & Carton Packaging Print ERP module, adding to the large-format, sheet-fed and digital print modules.

Managing Director Shanti Kumar says the company will take the opportunity provided by the regional show to showcase this new offering.

“Our robust software solutions have been designed specifically to meet the needs of print service providers, large and small, covering all aspects of the global print and packaging industry,” Kumar says, “and we’ll be showcasing a full range at Visual Impact  Sydney with a special focus on new releases.”

Over the past five years, Kumar says the company has invested considerable resources to develop its Cloud Print ERP solution, which uses the latest Microsoft technology, with data hosted at the Microsoft Data Centre in Sydney. The solution, sold as “Software as a Service” (SaaS), includes mobile applications for iOS and Android and is integrated into MYOB, Xero and several web-2-print solutions.  The subscription cost is based on the modules included and the number of users.

“This allows users to benefit from a turnkey solution for a fixed rental price, with everything included – software, any modifications required, and support from one of our senior print consultants,” Kumar says.

“The benefits of using a cloud-based solution are many – chief among them is the ability to access information anytime, anywhere, plus it also saves about 30% in infrastructure costs because users do not have to invest in maintaining an expensive Local and Wide Area Network.”

The software has many core functions designed to streamline processes. These include estimating; creation of job bags, invoices, purchase orders, packing labels and shipping documents; capture of employee time including actual cost versus estimated; exporting of reports to Excel and debtor and creditor management. Management can define who has access to each level of the system.

Specific modules featured at the show include the Wide-Format Quoting Module, which supports both roll-fed and flat-bed devices and has a range of handy functions that will be of particular interest to the many visitors from the sign, display and large-format industries attending the Visual Impact Expo.

“Operators can define the area to be used – whether that’s image area, full stock width or full machine bed width – when calculating for speed, and specify multiple print modes, each with their own individual speeds and make-ready set,” Kumar explains.

“Multiple products can be included in the one quote, then converted into individual jobs linked by a common reference code, making production and total job tracking easy,” he adds.

Importantly, all Quote & Print’s solutions are modular, so companies can purchase the complete package or modules that suit their business and budgets.

“For new users and those migrating from a legacy system, this might be the majority of modules,” Kumar explains. “A smaller print business may budget to buy and implement one or two modules each year. Whatever their requirements, this modular strategy means we can provide the right functionality and ROI for each business…and then work with them to tailor the system as their needs grow and change.”
