Printing and production is changing
Changing consumer behaviour
Digital print and consumer demand for small-batch, personalized/customized products have transformed the industry over the last 10 years.
This forces printers to move away from bulk orders to small print runs of highly personalized items.
Increasing costs
Fragile global supply chains are impacted by conflicts and trade barriers, a talent shortage affecting hiring and retention, inflation eroding profit margins, unpredictable macro events straining logistics and suppliers, and rising costs of raw materials.
These all pressure printers to adapt and innovate to remain competitive in a challenging landscape.
Legacy software
Traditional workflow systems are limited in supporting the end-to-end requirements of procurement, micro orders, and logistics. Workflow software has been built for individual machines but less so for scaling growth and profitability in this rapidly evolving environment.
The workflow tools today are not mobile-first, which is ineffective considering the layout and large areas of print facilities.
