Description

The Presstimator is a specialized software tool tailored for estimating and managing jobs specifically for newspapers and commercial web offset printing companies. With the Presstimator, users can swiftly generate precise and comprehensive estimates. It enables the printing of personalized customer quotes, job tickets, invoices, skid tags, shipping manifests, and a wide array of other reports. After a job concludes and production data is collected via the Production Actuals application, the Estimate vs. Actuals report facilitates cost analysis, while the Markup feature and Profit Analysis report allow for meticulous tracking of profit margins. Users can apply various filters to compile job sets and create Total Usage reports that summarize the time and resources utilized. All costs and standards are centralized in one accessible location within the Shop Settings of the Presstimator database. Furthermore, by loading the Presstimator database onto a server, multiple users can simultaneously access the software, enabling them to share quotes, print reports, schedule jobs, and monitor inventory efficiently. This collaborative capability greatly enhances team productivity and streamlines the workflow in busy printing environments.

Description

Printcore is a cutting-edge software solution designed for managing print shops, especially those specializing in commercial printing, signage, and wide-format projects. When a customer submits a request via email, Printcore swiftly processes the information, determining product details such as type, dimensions, substrate, and finishing options, while efficiently directing each component to the appropriate estimating engine to provide pricing calculations based on your specific material and labor expenses – all in a matter of seconds instead of the typical half-hour wait. The software features six distinct estimating engines that cater to various printing needs, including wide format, digital press, offset, booklets, vehicle wraps, cut vinyl, and channel letters. Once quotes are approved, they seamlessly integrate into a shop-floor kanban system, which facilitates scheduling, real-time time tracking, and operator assignments. Inventory levels are updated automatically, and every plan includes essential integrations for accounting, customer relationship management (CRM), and shipping. Additionally, its innovative, patent-pending estimating engine enhances accuracy by analyzing actual time recordings and comparing them to previous estimates, ensuring that future job pricing becomes more precise with each completed project. This continuous improvement cycle not only boosts efficiency but also fosters a more streamlined workflow for print shop managers and their teams.
