Quote & Print cater for the digital revolution

Sometimes it seems impossible to keep up with all the new technological advances. From camera phones to blackberry, there's not much that hasn't been thought of. Dave Bell from Quote & Print responds to the techno jungle.

Printers are always striving to improve the way they can communicate with their customers. They want to do it faster and more often. Letters were replaced by faxes that have in turn been replaced by email. You rarely see a separate fax machine in an office these days; they are usually combined with a printer and copier. If there is a separate one it is usually sitting in the corner gathering dust.

SMS text messaging using your mobile phone is another great way of communicating with your customers and sales reps. It has the advantage that it is less intrusive than a phone call. Its biggest disadvantage to date has been the time it takes to enter in a message using your thumbs.

Quote & Print have overcome this issue by adding an SMS interface to their software. Sending text messages to a mobile phone is now as easy as sending an email. This will be linked to our new workflow so production staff can easily inform customers and sales reps of the status of their jobs via SMS.

Given the universality of mobile phones it means that every member of your staff can easily be contacted. Messages can be batched so that a message can be sent to multiple phones at the same time.

We have also introduced an interface to Google Maps. Finding out where you need to go has never been easier.
