• Professional: A feature-rich solution designed to facilitate growth through B2B2C partnerships - now widely considered the industry standard.
• Enterprise: The premium platform for self-publishing and asset management connectivity.

Each solution has been tailored to accommodate specific needs for all business types and sizes. Within each of these solutions, there is a set of five primary modules:

• Creator: Mac and PC application that gives the designer freedom to create a wide range of product templates that customers use to design photo books and other gifts.
• InstallerMaker: brings together all the elements of products and packages them into compressed installers for Mac and PC.
• Designer:  Mac and PC application that is a bespoke, feature-rich, design tool that appears on a customer's desktop after installation.
• Control Center: multi-functional web application, part of the entire solution and incorporates the e-commerce platform, tax, material and shipping costs, voucher generation and Brand Builder.
• Production:  downloads and decrypts customer's projects then queues the files for output. The Production Module supports output in many formats: PDF, Vector PDF, TIFF and JPEG.

There are many other significant enhancements within these five modules. For example, Taopix Designer module now enables customers to apply page style and background changes to all pages within a photobook. This user-friendly tool dramatically increases the opportunity for creativity and personalization, enabling production of a more valuable and personal product. The Taopix Designer module now also incorporates a dynamic splash screen background. Upon launch of the application, this new background allows users to host customer promotions and advertising, allowing users to further drive valuable new revenue streams.
