This quarter, GelatoConnect shipped 123+ powerful product upgrades – all built to help Print Service Providers (PSPs) grow faster, increase efficiency, and stay in control during the busiest time of year.
From AI-powered quoting and automation to smarter imposition, order management, and quality control – here’s a look at what’s new in Q3.
Growth: Say Yes to More Orders
1. Quote in Minutes, Not Hours – Meet the AI Estimator
Quoting has long been a bottleneck in print. The new AI Estimator flips that on its head. Now, PSPs can generate accurate quotes in 15 seconds – cutting human quoting effort by up to 65% and enabling a 24/7 self-service sales experience.
Why it matters:
Respond first, win more jobs – Get estimates in 15 seconds and quotes to customers in under 5 minutes

2. GelatoConnect Apparel — One End-to-End System
Apparel decorators often struggle with disconnected systems across their entire workflow — from procurement, to production and delivery. In Q3, GelatoConnect officially launched its end-to-end solution for smarter apparel production.
Why it matters:
Faster growth – launch Storefronts, expand SKUs with JIT Procurement, and connect new customers in minutes
Built-in efficiency – automate procurement, picking, shipping and more
Full control – track every order with real-time dashboards, mobile scanning, and AI-powered QA
Efficiency: Automate More. Save More.
3. Scale production faster with Intelligent Batching Rules
Batching is one of the most effective ways to save time and costs in print, but historically it required setting up rules separately for each workflow — a slow and error-prone process. With Intelligent Batching Rules, you can now set batching logic once and reuse it across all workflows. No more repetitive rule-building or manual errors.
Benefits you’ll see:
Faster setup – create batching rules that you can use across multiple workflows
More consistency – standardized rules reduce variation and errors
Flexible logic to suit your operation — batch by count, time, customer, product attribute or reprint priority
Customer insight:
“Since co-developing intelligent batching rules with GelatoConnect, we’ve been able to streamline our setup and reduce errors across our workflows.” — Chad Khulmann, VP of Tech, Hudson

5. Be prepared for the unexpected with Smart Production Paths
When a machines goes offline, Smart Production Paths automatically reroutes jobs to the next-best machine. You can define primary and fallback routes with real-time visibility — no manual work or downtime.
Benefits:

6. Manage every order, job, workflow and plate in one place
Track every job, plate, and workflow from a single, searchable interface. Filter by customer, date, status, or SKU to reduce resolution time and improve order transparency.

7. Configure packaging checks with zero engineering
