With Version 2.0, Aleyant introduces Scheduling Simplified to enable print shops of all sizes to engage in more intelligent production planning. Version 2.0 of PrintJobManager also features an additional integration point with the award-winning Pressero Web2Print solution.
‘We continue to add functionality to PrintJobManager based on customer feedback and our own assessment of industry trends,’ said Trent Foreman, Aleyant’s PrintJobManager product manager. ‘Customers will now be able to view information at the job, department or resource level as a basis for more intelligent production planning. Each view shows details about each job, including due date, estimated production time, customer information and more. Jobs can be sorted based on priority and other criteria. This level of easily accessible information allows for a more efficient production process that can deliver immediate bottomline results.’
‘The forms and product forms inside of Pressero can now be mapped to a custom field in PrintJobManager,’ Foreman explained. ‘This can be useful to automatically capture additional information such as a department code, billing code or another piece of metadata that is unique to a specific customer. It allows the information to be visible on both the Job Ticket and the Job List view.’
Customers can also now designate custom fields as internal or external when sending out an estimate, allowing better control of information that is exposed to the customer. ‘We are very excited about the new capabilities this release brings,’ Foreman concluded.
