Recently, working with Pageflex reseller ROI Software Distribution Ltd, Prime Group utilized Pageflex to produce flight maps for DHL Worldwide Air Cargo. Prime Group and ROI Software Distribution replaced the time-consuming manual process of map creation with an automated solution that enables maps to be created instantaneously using Pageflex Storefront.
