Significans Automation, a leader in customized workflow automation and integration solutions, has unveiled S-Launch software. This user-friendly, fully customizable “Form Builder” can help print businesses standardize incoming order data so it can automatically trigger the next critical step in a workflow.
Described as “the ultimate submission portal to get data into your print business,” the S-Launch Form Builder allows businesses to take a more efficient, standardized approach to gathering job-related data.
“We’re filling a huge gap in the printing industry with S-Launch,” said Marc Raad, President of Significans Automation. “In our day-to-day workflow automation software deployments for printing and packaging print businesses, our team discovered a lot of common issues that stress out our customers. These include time-consuming, error-prone manual data entry, too many human touchpoints, the use of spreadsheets, and collecting data in different forms from multiple sources.”
S-Launch can be used to create contact forms, an order-submission portal, or a request-for-quote page. Users can easily enter the needed data through their tablets, desktop computers, or mobile devices.
While S-Launch is ideal for printers, it can help other types of businesses standardize their data in order to streamline and automate critical processes.
“The new S-Launch software is completely modular, configurable, mobile-ready, workflow-enabled and API-first, allowing for integration with various other existing systems,” said Sean Davis, Significans Vice-President of Technology. “An easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface means that anyone can create a form. No technical knowledge or special skills are required, and the form can be tailored for different product types and customer needs.”
Pricing is based on site usage rather than a flat rate per user. Plus, S-Launch is hosted in the Cloud, so there’s no need for additional software or hardware.
Pilot Project at Stickerbeat
Stickerbeat is a Toronto-based web-to-print business specializing in custom stickers, magnets, labels, and decals. For the past year, their staff has used S-Launch to help gather data from the huge number of telephone orders they get in addition to the online orders submitted through their Shopify online store. So, the Significans team set up an ultra-efficient “backdoor” ordering system that enables Stickerbeat’s 4-employee prepress team to process the error-prone phone orders. The results are impressive
Now, when Stickerbeat employees receive a phone call, they carefully input the information into a customized electronic form, upload the files, and follow the same procedure that Significans established to process incoming orders from Shopify.
Today the prepress staff can handle 400 orders a day instead of the previous 150 orders per day. Costly human errors related to order data have decreased by about 90%.
“The technology has allowed us to generate a proof within 40 seconds of an order arriving,” said Bruce Petroff, Corporate Production Control Manager and Analyst at Stickerbeat. “If we didn’t have this highly customized workflow software set-up from Significans, we would likely have to spend another $250,000 in labor just to do what we were doing before.”
He estimates the company could easily scale from $7.3 million to $20 million dollars in yearly sales without adding prepress staff.
