Print jobs can move from a calculated quote to costing, production tracking, and invoicing in one workflow. Logic Print is an ERP for print shops and graphic-arts businesses, with estimating tools built around the details of each job.
Building a quote around the print job
Enter the job details to calculate an estimate, then adjust quantities and production parameters as needed. Logic Print can prepare quotes for multiple quantities and recalculate them after changes to inks, formats, or page counts. A precut and print-layout sketch shows how the job is arranged.
When more than one press could handle the work, the “Propose printing machine” function compares machine options and their costs. The estimate can also account for different print formats and layouts, making the equipment choice part of the costing workflow.
From estimate to production
Once a quote becomes a job, production planning and tracking bring work status and workload information into a KPI dashboard. Logic Print also includes reports for examining profitability, machine hours, and differences between estimated and actual costs.
Inventory management and automatic order handling connect materials to shop operations. Staff can search quotes by customer, send estimates as PDFs by email, and use acceptance reports to follow which proposals have been approved.
- Production planning with workload information and KPIs
- Cost calculations by hours or units
