Printing and production is changing
Changing consumer behaviour
Digital print and consumer demand for small-batch, personalized/customized products have transformed the industry over the last 10 years.
This forces printers to move away from bulk orders to small print runs of highly personalized items.
Increasing costs
With rising labor, raw materials, and production costs, print producers rely on technology to create automated workflows that scale production.
GelatoConnect enables you to exceed customer's expectations to thrive in an evolving market while maintaining healthy profit margins.
Legacy software
Traditional workflow systems are limited in supporting the end-to-end requirements of procurement, micro orders, and logistics. Workflow software has been built for individual machines but less so for scaling growth and profitability in this rapidly evolving environment.
The workflow tools today are not mobile-first, which is ineffective considering the layout and large areas of print facilities.
