Press-sense releases Iway and Manager updates

Press-sense's Iway 5.0 and Manager 2.0 were shown for the first time in the USA at Graph Expo 2008.

The Iway 5.0 offers a user-friendly interface, and multiple features built upon an advanced infrastructure that features improved scalability, reduced cost of setup and high flexibility.

It makes it easy and cost-effective to set up applications and accounts.

The system allows the creation of customised product and print buyer catalogues, with marketing messages and cross-sale functionality.

Navigation tools allow the PSP to prepare VI forms that are as simple or sophisticated as clients require, and job specifications are customisable in both concept and structure by the print service provider.

Pricing calculation schemes enable printers to price jobs according to intent (market pricing based on a fixed price list, regardless of the cost to produce).

The pricing model can examine multiple options (offset, digital) and either automatically select the lowest price or allow the CSR the option to override decisions.

Press-sense Manager is an extension of the IWay platform, especially suited for business flow automation of commercial printers and print-on-demand shops.

This combined system enables non-digital jobs, including images and fonts, regardless of how they are received, to be integrated into the Iway web-based back-end print management system.

Manager 2.0 offers one platform for ordering and charging for online and offline jobs, non-print jobs and services, while providing streamlined automation to drive large volumes of jobs.

It also offers customer management tools, such as a dashboard for instant visibility of business status, managed account groups and account activities, and managed tracking of quick sales and walk-in customers.

Asset management for linking customers and jobs is also provided.

Quoting and invoicing functions enable automatic quote generation within minutes, estimation functions and provision for outsourcing and receiving bids, while complete billing support for invoices, receipts and deposits is also provided, along with integration with external billing and accounting systems.

Press-sense Manager 2.0 also features enhanced CSR tools for faster and easier interface, the ability to sell sophisticated jobs even with inexperienced CSRs, and added internal sales messages to CSR communications.
