Acquisition

EFI Digital StoreFront^® Web-to-Print and PrintSmith Site provide a new front door to your business.

Monarch offers two advanced platforms for the acquisition and management of new jobs:

• EFI Digital StoreFront Web-to-Print providing clients with a branded, customized Internet desktop for ordering and monitoring production status, and
• EFI PrintSmith Site giving salespeople the ability to collect, validate and deliver detailed project specifications while on the road.

The information from both systems is delivered seamlessly from the remote location to the EFI estimating and planning software without re-keying and manual analysis. This automated process eliminates lost, delayed and poorly-communicated information, providing a foundation for more accurate estimates and better job plans. A higher degree of accuracy in the estimating and planning process will improve your win-loss ratio while providing a higher profit margin on every job.
