Internet Print Management System (iPMS) is an online end-to-end workflow management tool for printed collateral. IPMS has multiple applications, within large print companies, print management groups and corporate production departments. Users can process requests for quotations, transmit artwork files, track production and despatch all within the framework of a project team. The system enables real time monitoring of print expenditure across large organisations leading to economies of scale and greater control. Edit2print is a template-based system for the e-procurement of printed products allowing those with little or no design background to select, edit, proof and send a range of materials to print – online. From packaging, sales collateral, promotional literature to POS and direct mail – images and text within any printed materials can be changed online, within pre-defined parameters. IPMS2print offers an integrated print procurement and management solution – harnessing advanced and robust database management systems with leading-edge automated graphics processing. IPMS2print is offered via an Application Service Provider (ASP) model which means print suppliers, print buyers, agencies and administrators can gain access to the system via the Internet.
