After the document and instructions are sent to the Sir Speedy and PIP location, users are notified as the job is processed and they can track the progress right from their Web browser. In addition, users are automatically notified when the job is completed and ready for pickup or delivery. "The ability to order digital printing, along with complete bindery, payment, and delivery options, right from a customer's document authoring application, will be a tremendous benefit to our franchisees," said Don Lowe, president and CEO of Franchise Services, Inc., owners of both Sir Speedy and PIP.
