Web-to-print and digital solutions for print shops

Web-to-print, machine interconnection and quoting to connect commercial activities and production.

AI-generated

A printing company’s requirements cover its catalogue, estimating rules, orders and machine data. We analyse these areas to define tools and connections that support everyday work.

This experience led to DAGO, the print estimating software used by more than 300 printing companies and presented on its dedicated website.

Experience in printing processes

Collaboration with printing companies and print centres has led us to address specific needs: estimates with numerous variables, collection of orders and availability of production data.

From this experience DAGO was born, the estimating software with a dedicated website. We also follow web-to-print and interconnection projects, defined based on the catalog and machine fleet.

The fronts on which we intervene

We define the interventions after analyzing the catalogue, the processes and, when necessary, an inspection.

Web-to-print e-commerce

Catalogs with formats, papers, weights, finishes and scalar quantities, on a WooCommerce basis or with dedicated development.

Online quote

Price lists and calculation rules allow the customer to configure the product and obtain the price for the foreseen combinations.

Orders linked to production

Files, specifications and order information organized for the transition to production, with processing statuses, notifications and B2B reserved areas.

4.0/5.0 machine interconnection

Offset, digital, large format, bookbinding: we connect what exposes data - JDF/JMF, field protocols, counters - after a census of the machine fleet.

Actual production costs

Collection of available data on times, copies, waste and downtime, to compare production and estimates.

Data inside the management system

We connect the data to your production management system (MIS). The integration is native with DAGO; for other systems it is defined during the analysis phase.

Frequently asked questions

How do you define the cost of a web-to-print project?

The quote depends on the catalogue, pricing rules, machine fleet and additions. After the analysis you receive a written proposal with defined activities, times and costs.

Which machines can be interconnected?

We check the available interfaces, such as JDF/JMF and manufacturer protocols, and the data accessible for each machine. The analysis allows you to define which connections to make and in what ways.

Does it only work with DAGO?

We also design connections to other management systems and MIS, based on the interfaces and data available. With DAGO the integration is native.

Is it for the 4.0 or 5.0 tax credit?

Interconnection to the management system is one of the technical requirements established by the regulations on incentives. We create and document the technical part; Tax requirements, windows and rates should be checked with your advisor, as they change from year to year.

Do you have to stop production?

The installation and testing methods depend on the machines and the interventions envisaged. We agree on the activities with the printing company to limit their impact on production.
