Newly released Digital StoreFront software extends end-to-end workflow management capabilities through the certified integrations of EFI’s Productivity Suite
The newly released version 8 of EFI
Digital StoreFront web-to-print and eCommerce solution - part of EFI’s
comprehensive Productivity Suite of certified, integrated workflows – creates
unprecedented new capabilities to help print providers streamline, simplify and
improve the print buying experience. EFI will showcase the updated solution at
two upcoming industry events in Las Vegas: the ISA International Sign Expo
(April 9-11) and the PODi AppForum (May 11-13).
This upgraded version of EFI’s
award-winning, flexible web-to-print solution provides industry-leading
capabilities, including new, EFI DirectSmile options that extend the types of
variable-data and personalized direct mail campaigns corporations can successfully
create online. Print providers can profitably produce more work using the
industry’s top online job submission solution integrated with a complete
Productivity Suite offering real-time, bi-directional integration and data
sharing with EFI MIS/ERP and EFI Fiery digital print workflows.
Corporate and content tools for integrated, expanded one-stop shopping
Print providers can strengthen
customer loyalty and improve their service capabilities by offering new,
value-added features that give their customers more flexibility and
capabilities. With the web-to-print software’s new Enterprise Model, print
providers can subdivide a client’s single Digital StoreFront license into
different interfaces to serve different franchises or subsidiaries within client’s
organization. Print providers can also offer their clients more-convenient,
one-stop-shopping for a range of services using a new marketplace sales
offering that can incorporate content partners such as copywriters,
photographers and graphic designers, in a single online ordering interface.
The software also streamlines and
enhances the web-to-print ordering process with single sign-on (SSO)
authentication for multiple users within the same organization, more-accurate
shipping estimating using UPS CONNECT rate look-up tools, and support for
online purchasing of ebooks or other electronic content.
“Print providers can become very
efficient in their work with corporations, creatives and agencies, moving
creative concepts through to successful execution using a platform that manages
the many important details,” said David Minnick, EFI’s product management
director for web-to-print and value-added products.
