GelatoConnect Releases 149 New Features in Q1 to Help Print Producers Increase Growth, Efficiency, and Control

GelatoConnect, the operating system for print production, released 149 new features in Q1 2025—accelerating the development of tools that help print producers unlock growth, increase efficiency, and gain control across their operations, from procurement to workflow to logistics.

“There’s a massive opportunity in print—and until now, the software technologies haven't kept up,” said Paul Hudson, CEO of Hudson Printing. “What GelatoConnect is building finally unlocks the industry’s full potential.”

“The speed of development and implementation with GelatoConnect is unlike anything we’ve seen from a supplier," added Stephan Steiner, President of GSB Digital.

Each release is developed in close collaboration with customers, with the goal of helping them say yes to more orders, reduce manual work, and control performance across their entire facility.
