Metrics launches PRINTWARE: the new generation of its MIS to support JDF and process automation
Monday 26. May 2008 - METRICS, the leading provider of Management Information Systems for the Printing Industry in Latin America is pre-releasing at DRUPA its new generation of Products, named METRICS PRINTWARE and aimed at completely automating the most important business processes in a Print Company.
The company has invested more than 3 years in the development of the solution, working with a group of highly qualified software engineers and in partnership with some of the main printing companies in Brazil, such as Editora Abril – the biggest publisher in Latin America.
The solution allows the control of the plant operation in real time, centralizing and distributing all the information required by each user to support its everyday tasks and giving managers a global view of the business to allow even more secure decisions, based on reliable information.
Some of the products most important features are:
Automated estimating. Through a user defined rules database, the system is able to interpret the customer product specification, doing simulations and defining the best production process that can be used.
Collaborative Scheduling. A very powerful scheduling tool that works in real time, synchronizing and optimizing all the plant operations.
New intuitive Interface, which is Web based and can be adapted to each customers requirements.
JDF support to automate the production workflow, integrating Metrics with the main machine and pre-press solution providers for printers.
Integrated CRM, Workflow and Business Intelligence tools
