For almost 20 years, users have been able to build their individual web shop with the print shop portal.

Initially launched with isolated installations, today nearly every printplus user offers their customers a web shop. The web shop integrated into printplus druck is comparable to a conventional retail store. It starts with a showcase displaying a clear product overview. You decide which products to make available to your customers- the possibilities are endless. Offer stored items, customer-designed products, items created using Web-to-Print editors, or rental products. Bring us your business idea, and we’ll support you in making it a reality.

Thanks to its responsive design, the web shop automatically adapts to various screen sizes without the need for additional programming. With the web shop, you can manage and maintain any number of individual shops within your established printplus druck installation - all from a central system.

Within each shop, you can represent your customer's organizational structure with branches, departments/groups, and users. Dynamic filters make it easier for users to find the right products - only criteria linked to available items are shown. The streamlined one-page checkout allows users to select delivery and payment options and complete their orders quickly and intuitively.

Thanks to its deep integration with printplus druck, the web shop uses the same master data, and orders are directly entered into the order management system and passed into production without manual intervention. As with traditional orders, material needs are recorded for purchasing, and production capacity is scheduled accordingly. Delivery and invoice data are extracted from the shipping and billing information and seamlessly integrated into internal business processes - all based on interfaces built into printplus druck.

We also provide standard interfaces for integrating Web-to-Print editors or enabling credit card payments. For several years now, the shop has also been integrated into procurement platforms like SAP Ariba or Coupa as a PunchOut catalog using cXML, streamlining the ordering process for your customers. With the flexible structure of the interface, projects can be implemented quickly and easily.

The battle for orders is getting harder. Users tell us: "Our customers are setting ever tighter deadlines for submitting bids and are increasingly deciding on the price as the first step."

With printplus druck, you choose the tool for fast and efficient processing. In just 3 minutes, a quote for standard products can be sent via email to the prospect. The entire quoting process is handled from a single module - no need to open multiple programs. Visit akademie.printplus.ch for insights into working with printplus druck.

Directly from order entry, you can access information from IVIS to evaluate the prospect. The cost calculation is quickly and efficiently completed using the calculation assistant, based on predefined cost data and an AI-powered recommendation engine that learns from your entries. A calculation tool that understands your workflow and your customers’ needs is now a reality. Various plausibility checks validate inputs and offer only technically feasible production options. For material pricing, you can use stored price lists or check supplier prices online. The product description for the quote text is automatically generated based on the selected product properties.

Once costs are calculated, you can define the sales price based on contribution margin accounting, or use the pricing level stored in the customer profile, along with historical experience values that adjust over time. You can also apply the AI-generated price suggestion. The quote document is prepared using Microsoft Word, which also enables automated email dispatch. Email address and salutation, even personalized ones, are pulled directly from the IVIS CRM tool. For follow-up, you define sales stage plan activities, which are automatically generated with the quote document and displayed in the responsible employee’s task list.

Thanks to the shared database between quotation management and IVIS, users can access all quote data and documents when following up. Likewise, follow-up activities are visible in the quotation management module. There’s no longer any need to create, distribute, or manually update copies.

If you work in field sales, you can also access data on the go. Once you’ve convinced the prospect, simply change the status to “ordered.” The order will then automatically appear in your colleagues’ task list in the back office for further processing. .

For mobile work, we offer various technical solutions. (see Working on the move)

Just as flexible as your deliveries, you need to be able to create invoices for your customers. Whether by delivery country or recipient, splitting partial quantities is quick and easy with printplus druck.

In addition, supplementary costs and author corrections are invoiced to the customer along with the invoice. The integrated process for author corrections automatically lists the recorded items on the invoice. You only need to specify the amount for the recorded costs. Of course, the item is automatically output on the invoice document with a detailed description. This reduces customer inquiries about additional costs.

Orders such as magazines with agreed prices are settled in no time using the integrated price lists. You can send invoices in common e-invoicing formats without additional software or manual steps.

For payment control, you have access to the integrated open items management or various interfaces to accounting systems. Learn more at "Partners/Technology partner".
