Production on your terms – what’s new in GelatoConnect this July

At GelatoConnect, we believe your production system should adapt to you — not the other way around.

This month’s release is built around that principle. From self-serve apparel setup to custom dashboards and smarter imposition tools, every upgrade in July is designed to give print producers more flexibility, speed, and visibility — without needing to call in engineering help.

Here’s what’s new and why it matters:

You can now test multi-order dry runs with clear pass/fail results — making it easier to catch issues before they hit production. Whether you're validating edge cases or a new product launch, these tests help you move faster with fewer risks.

New tools like the Context Switcher, bulk reprocessing, and step-level insights give your team full control over execution and troubleshooting — all from one interface.

The imposition engine now has powerful new capabilities, making it easier to handle diverse product formats at scale.

You can now leverage ready-to-use templates for:

• Saddle-stitch products

• Perfect bound books

• Posters

• Standard job tickets

Plus, new automation features for registration mark placement, Dutch imposition, and orientation-aware alignment help you cut waste and improve consistency — with less setup time.

Two big improvements are redefining how you track orders and inventory across the production floor:

• Custom views in Dispatch Overview let you tailor what each team sees — with saved dashboards that load fast and show exactly what matters.

• Connect AI now tracks supplier shipments automatically, updates ETAs, and prompts for goods-received confirmation — eliminating the need to chase vendors or reconcile spreadsheets.

Setting up apparel production shouldn’t take weeks. With GelatoConnect for Apparel, you can easily set up your site for digital garment printing, across Direct-to-Film (DTF), Direct-to-Garment (DTG), embroidery and sublimation. Connect machines like Brother, Kornit, and Aeoon, and launch apparel SKUs in just hours — guiding your team from order intake to dispatch with zero code required.

This is especially useful for PSPs expanding into print-on-demand apparel or launching new product lines fast.
