There are a few options in the web2print space right now, many of which are hosted and developed outside of the UK, leading to slow responses when things go wrong.
Not all systems are the same and not all approaches to managing them are the same.
Right now, I prefer to work with Vpress, because they know what they are talking about and they ‘get the job done’
But don’t take my word for it.. ask Kelvin Bell..
Here is an interesting article about adding value to your customers with MIS or W2P….
Web to Print or MIS? Adding Value To Your Customer Comes First
Imagine the scene if you will dear reader. A print business owner or manager sits down at their desk in the morning, they take their first sips of the morning brew, and with a small sigh they survey all the orders that have come in overnight and start to grapple with them manually –– trying to make sure the team is processing everything as they should, on price and on time. The realisation is there that day after day of this process there must be an easier, more automated way to handle this task in the 21st century.
The next thought is often, but where do I start? Well, you will get different answers depending upon whom you ask and their own priorities.
As this is a Web to Print provider writing this article, you can guess the answer we are going to give you, but the facts remain true –– even though we can all have fun arguing over them. The purpose of this article is to guide you to make the right decision to embrace automation in the most affordable, timely and logical way. And what is critical to understand is that it all starts with your customers. What is also very important to contemplate is the importance of entering a £200bn eCommerce market that is experiencing explosive growth.
