Print software integrations made easy
The combined solution of PrintVis and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central seamlessly covers all your administrative processes within a single system. Enter new shipping addresses, financial metrics, or inventory levels just once, and instantly share this vital data across the entire company. This unified system eliminates errors from multiple entries and ensures everyone has access to the most up-to-date information, even from their mobile devices.
While PrintVis is a comprehensive business management solution for all sectors of the print industry, graphics companies often employ diverse production methods that may require third-party software for specific tasks. PrintVis easily integrates with various applications, including prepress, packaging-specific software, label printing, web shops, paper vendors, shipping and payment systems, JDF/JMF software, and more.
“When the core platform is Microsoft based you get integration to other Microsoft products. The Microsoft Office suite and Outlook become an extension of your Print MIS system. For example, you can write reports using the Office suite and then bring them back into PrintVis. By utilizing the tools your employees are already familiar with (e.g. Microsoft Word), you can make adoption easier and reduce training because you’re using tools your team is already familiar with.”
