Fakten
Printplus Mobile complements the CRM tool IVIS integrated in Printplus DRUCK and Printplus VERLAG. Thanks to the native app, employees can access customer data and their task list at any time. The app is available for iOS and Android.
The completely newly developed calculation replaces the previous pre-calculation in Printplus DRUCK. Supported by an intelligent suggestion system, the user completes his tasks safer and faster. Even with very complex products with many versions and supplements, they can keep track of everything thanks to the new graphic interface.
Full commitment for the customers: Today, we employ 50 people in the areas of software development, organisational consulting, product management and sales.
In the Printplus DRUCK software we rely on "artificial" intelligence. With this support, the software automatically creates an optimized production plan, and a completely new collective production order calculates cost-optimized gang-runs with the integration of PerfectPattern.
Since 16 February 2015, we have been working from our new offices at Schützenwiese 8 in Kriessern. We not only have more space here, but also an appealing ambience with modern infrastructure.
