Development of Applications for Printing Shops and Publishing Houses
Can’t remember the exact amount you quoted? Don’t know at what stage the order is now? Actual parameters do not match the purchase order? An unpaid order was sent to execution? Each of your managers has a calculation system “of their own”? The job is being processed, but someone “forgot” to order the paper? Having difficulties planning your workload for the near future?
Work Order Management Systems are the answer to all these challenges. Whether you have a large offset printing facility or a small quick print shop, you need an order accounting system to manage your production processes.
Key functions of a work order management system for a printing business.
Here are the essential must-haves of a Work Order Management System:
- Creating and editing work orders in the system. Establishing scope of work. Generating a job ticket.
- Calculating the order price, issuing an invoice.
- Preparing a material take-off for the job based on available material inventories.
- Checking completion of individual work stages. Determining the job status (current activity).
- Generating various reports about the current facilities utilization to plan future operations.
- Monitoring prepress activities.
- Maintaining a client and invoicing database, tracking payments for each order.
