Hunkeler Innovationdays is around the corner, so when we got the chance to talk to Reto Zaugg from Hunkeler, obviously a topic to discuss. However, we also got a chance to talk about how seamlessly Hunkeler and Horizon integrate into the new Stitchliner Mark V shown at Horizon Finishing First event. But take a listen yourself!

The presentation should briefly show where the necessity comes from that offset printers already have to change today and how digital printing technologies (inkjet) can support this change. It should also show where the challenges were and where we are today with this decision.

E-business has quickly become an integral part of the graphic industry. A web shop today is essential for printing companies to do (more) business. But a print or sign webshop cannot be seen as a standalone activity. Why? Because in a state of the art workflow this webshop is real-time, dynamic in sync with the workflow of your print production company: creating products, setting prices, define delivery times, production capacity… it should all be reflected in the offerings on the webshop, 24/7. Is that possible? Yes it is! By integrating the MultiPress MIS/ERP software with the storefront environment. Creating the products and defining prices is a tedious and time consuming tasks. These also have to be maintained on a regular basis. As all your products and prices are already defined and calculated on the fly in your MultiPress ERP system, so why should you have to maintain 2 systems? That is a huge advantage, for any given storefront in the market. Everything that is defined in the MIS software is reused and as a consequence always up to date. No time loss, no mistakes, and most of all automation from the customer ordering online up to production, payment and delivery. MultiPress MIS/ERP is the #1 European software for print production companies. The extensive web-to-print functionalities and different integrations with 3rd party e-business offerings will be presented during this session by Davy Verstaen, MultiPress Project Manager EMEA.
