Printing & packaging
Job-based quoting, material issue and approvals that hold things up.
What actually happens now
Every job is quoted from scratch, the material is issued against a verbal instruction, and the job waits three days for an approval that arrived by e-mail and was not seen.
Where the leaks close
Quotations per job with material and process costed in
Material issued against the job
So wastage is visible.
Approvals and artwork attached to the record
Approvals and artwork attached to the record with versions kept.
Part deliveries and part billing against one order
Job profitability once the job is closed
Not at the year end.
Seven systems, or one
Nobody sets out to run a trade on six tools. It happens one sensible decision at a time, and the cost lands in the seams between them.
- One customer record, not four spellings of it
- One item, one rate, one tax treatment
- One place a question can be answered from
The printing & packaging chain, end to end
A job is quoted with material and process costed in, material is issued against it, and profitability is known when the job closes.
