Online estimating in major upgrade of QPONLINE
Printing companies with a range of validated customers can now grant them access to quoting procedures that cut the hassle of ordering print. Aimed at shortening the supplying cycle and eliminating administration costs, the new Quote & Print facility is set to revolutionise the way printers deal with their customers, according to Dave Bell, creator of the industry benchmark business–to-business software.
“If a printer is dealing with 20-30 agencies on a regular basis, he can allow them to shortcut the buying cycle by placing orders online. They know how much the job is going to cost and the printer is making it easy for them to do business with him. Eventually everyone is going to be ordering over the web,” he said.
In launching Version 7 of QPONLINE at next week’s PacPrint, Bell maintains that more than 250,000 lines of new, locally written, computer code have gone into the new software. It provides a complete internet solution for printing companies delivering such crucial elements as credit card ordering over the web, job ganging, and production integration.
“What makes the software unique is its seamless interface with the Quote & Print back end. This means that all the print orders that flow through it do not require any extra staff to process. It is a major step forward in automating printing businesses,” he said.
First released at the previous PacPrint 2001, QPONLINE has undergone four years of continuous enhancement based on user feedback and recent internet developments. According to Bell, the new version provides printers with an even more powerful tool to automate the entire ordering process.
“There is no doubt that having internet ordering and tracking capability will become more necessary in the future. Printers looking at moving into the space need to have a world-class product that has strong local support. Quote & Print is in a unique position to deliver,” he said.
