We have been utilizing PrintPoint since 1999. I have witnessed vast changes in the print industry since then but the one constant asset has been PrintPoint Management System. Single page estimating has been a blessing, along with its strong database has made Estimating, Order Entry, Job Tracking and Accounting almost painless. At any given time I can check a customer's volume, look up a phone number using the phonebook feature, send a customer a note via email, and so much more. We recently purchased the cross-platform option enabling our PC and Mac users to work in PrintPoint as a job moves through our plant.

Some of the key features in PrintPoint are its adaptability to grow with our capabilities. Like most printers we have become very diversified with added services such as large format printing, digital printing, full color sheet fed printing and web printing. We also are a member of the Advertising Specialty Institute and soon mailing and fulfillment services. PrintPoint handles all of these machines and outsourcing vendors.

Like so many other Print Shops, getting through the lean times and actually turning a profit meant massive down sizing and enacting efficiencies throughout all departments. PrintPoint has been solid throughout the process. Recently we purchased QuickBooks take advantage of the accounting integration with PrintPoint. The transition from our DOS based accounting system went better than I ever imagined. We are now invoicing on a bi-daily basis and cash flow has never been so good.

Have you ever quoted a job? Was rewarded the bid and then made hundreds of dollars worth AA s (author authorizations) and not confirmed them with customer or up charged them for the work you preformed? PrintPoint makes it easy. Simply add up the time and materials and shot the customer an email getting their approval, all form PrintPoint.

Hat's off to the staff at PrintPoint. Printing is getting fun again.
