Sanderson, the leading print MIS software provider, has won a contract to supply its latest Unity print software to The Production Company, specialists in corporate and commercial print production.

Unity will provide an integrated system that utilises web technology to extend system capabilities in managing the business and to provide a dedicated, customer web communications interface said Sanderson.

The Production Company had two primary objectives one of which was to ensure it deployed the latest technology within its digital and litho production divisions.

It also needed to provide a seamless digital interface to the customer.

Sanderson is providing a web interface that will allow customers to receive templates of their work to approve and then return to The Production Company.

The templates include digital images to develop the print material, instantly and seamlessly said the company.

The customer web portal facilitates the print process, from initial enquiry through to production and delivery of the finished product and fully integrates with the Unity print management system.

The Production Company will benefit from using one fully automated and integrated system that will enable it to manage key areas of the business simultaneously, generating cost, time and process efficiencies.

The web portal allows it to exceed customer service standards and improve accuracy and reliability in the approval process it believes.

In addition, Unity offers it a multiple estimating facility to support several business channels and the time and attendance module will improve its control over fluctuating labour levels.

Simon Tomlinson, financial director of The Production Company said: "We were looking for a system that matched our complex requirements and would help us to achieve our ambitious expansion plans.

The combination of Unity's flexible capabilities in print management - in particular the multiple estimating facility - availability of tailored web solutions and Sanderson's ability to work with us on emerging digital technology, assured us this was the best solution to accelerate our business growth".

Peter Beer, general manager of Sanderson's print business said: "We are excited by this opportunity to work in partnership with The Production Company on emerging technologies.

This business win demonstrates Unity's flexibility in meeting specific customer requirements in an evolving print production market.

Sanderson is committed to helping its customers grow their businesses and to make it easy for their customers in turn to do business with them.".
