The customer challenge

Manual steps between an order and a finished print introduce delay and inconsistency. Re-keying data, preparing files by hand and chasing status updates do not scale as volumes grow.

The Cloudstore approach

Cloudstore connects the stages of the print lifecycle so that data flows from order to fulfilment with less manual handling. Order, production and shipping systems exchange status events automatically, so production progress, dispatch, tracking and delivery updates flow back into a shared view. Repeatable workflows handle routine work consistently and surface exceptions for people to resolve, freeing them for higher-value tasks.

Core capabilities

  • Reduced manual intervention across the workflow
  • Repeatable, consistent production workflows
  • Connected order, pricing and file data
  • Production status updates
