Web-to-print can help calculate profitability
The demands of accurately calculating how much revenue a company can generate on various micro scales, like profitability by job, have become exceedingly complex. In a contemporary printing office, with potentially hundreds of individual jobs coming in daily, manually calculating profits could be near impossible. A new article from Jennifer Matt, president of Web2Print Experts, Inc., explains how the inclusion of Web-to-print solutions into the workplace could assist in accurately measuring varying degrees of profitability.
In the past, commercial printers benefited from large profit margins, Matt explains. With the extra wiggle room, precise measurements, like where exactly prices need to be, were treated as unnecessary luxuries. Today, however, margins are much more narrow and specificity in numbers is no longer just an option.
Print management information systems - or MIS - have the ability to maintain a significant presence in each branch of a business. With such an extensive reach, print MIS is able to help streamline the printing order process. What's more, the system allows companies to accurately monitor profit generated by job, customer, print application and a number of other levels.
