As part of the continuing integration of all EFI MIS systems with add-on products, Logic customers using Printersite Fulfillment will have more robust web order functions, with direct order jobs and partial shipments now supported, added EFI.
Printersite Fulfillment is EFI's web-based, client-facing module that helps printers streamline inventory management and offer value-added on-line fulfillment ordering services to customers.
For Printersite Exchange users, quotes will automatically be generated for orders placed on a Printersite Exchange website.
The Logic and Printersite Exchange integration allows printers' customers to submit jobs from the popular web application and then enables the printing plant to manage the planning, production, scheduling, invoicing and accounting of those jobs from within the Logic MIS environment.
Version 22.05 will also have more robust integration with Printflow dynamic scheduling to achieve seamless data flow across all parts of the printing operation.
In addition to integration enhancements, the new version will have an alteration workflow that tracks alterations against jobs inside of Logic.
Communication with the customer and the production floor, as well as invoicing, are handled within the workflow.
The alteration workflow introduces customer supported rate schedules to manage billable changes.
Version 22.05 also builds on the customisation capabilities from the previous releases, with the ability to customise the database, the applications, the reporting inside Logic, and the use of XML imports.
Maureen Sheldon, EFI Logic product manager, said: "Logic continues to set the standard for enhancements and features that not only streamline business management for our customers but enable them to realise greater profitability.
This upcoming release has the greatest integration to date with EFI's add-on products, along with first-ever JDF support, ensuring that Logic stays current with our customers' needs." Version 22.05 is expected to be available in the third quarter of this year.
