Printed editorial products management software

Among many others, the offset printing industry is one of the most complex and difficult to manage. Each product is different from any another doe to its size and features, but also for the raw materials used and the processing steps. Even the smallest difference can make a large variation in production costs.

In 2004 the building up of a software capable to create quotetions for self-adhesive labels printed in reels was commissioned to us. Because of the technology used within our client company (Windows, OSX, Linux), we decided to develop our software using the web technologies.

Our target was to create a management software that did not require installation, that could be able to update on its own, be used on any device and be ready for the technologies to come.

Gutenberg ERP was developed with the following goal: to minimize human intervention and errors.

Automatic quotation system for offset printing estimates production cost in few seconds and without technical skills.

Gutenberg ERP has a single powerful single customizable dashboard to control: job status in production, printing machines and staff efficiency, pre-press and marketing office efficiency and much more...
