Workflow automation starting from Print Customers / Sales

arifiQ is hosting a session at the Nordic Workflow Summit – about unlocking a huge business opportunity by offering a comprehensive automated quoting and order placement online service for B2B customers.

Including the print customers / sales in an automated workflow – is going to elevate the service level substantially. Any print shop can put a B2B print portal on the market and get an extensive out reach. A small printer, can seam like a lot bigger by collaborating with larger printers – and get the hands on the big print jobs (money).

Product type self setting tool

An arifiQ site appears in different shapes, depending on the print providers production possibilities (example below). Each print provider decides which product types they would like to use as entry’s.

In the self setting tool, that now comes with each arifiQ site, the printer can be in control and match the product types with a choice of media, post-press operations, product sizes and articles.

The product tree is where the product types are added, deleted, categorized and put in a choice of structure, just by drag and drop.



HP PrintOS Users Can Eliminate Major Delays on Ad-Hoc Jobs, with arifiQ Integration 

arifiQ today announced that HP PrintOS solutions can now also process ad-hoc jobs automatically using arifiQ technology. This significant move has positive implications for printers and their customers worldwide.

The arifiQ estimating engine instantly and automatically creates quotes, job tickets, gang-runs, cost-optimized impositions and production routes for the full variety of print jobs moving through a workflow – including ad-hoc jobs requiring custom quotes. Now, in the first implementation of the technology in a digital workflow solution, arifiQ makes this capability available to HP PrintOS users, empowering them to take ad-hoc jobs from print customers or the sales team, all the way to the press, without stops.

The arifiQ technology makes it possible for PrintOS Box and PrintOS Site Flow to receive job tickets and, most importantly, print-ready imposed PDFs – without requiring predefined products. Jobs are quoted and imposed, with printer’s marks included, in arifiQ, with preflighting in the HP PrintOS solution.

“This is a breakthrough for the printing industry,” says Eva Rosén, Co-Founder/CMO, arifiQ Development. “arifiQ had already solved the ad-hoc quoting and job-onboarding, and now, with the HP PrintOS integration, we’ve made it possible to push ad-hoc jobs through any prepress and digital workflow, without predefined products,”

HP PrintOS and arifiQ: delivering on the promise of automation

Gershon Alon, HP PrintOS Business Manager: “Many print service providers are struggling with quickly onboarding their ad-hoc jobs into production, and arifiQ technology is addressing this issue. With the new integration ad-hoc jobs can get quoted and automatically submitted into production within minutes, saving time and money, and reducing errors. I’m happy to have arifiQ on board as a new PrintOS partner, and look forward to working together and exploring new applications.”

Hudson Printing, USA, is the first print service provider to try the HP PrintOS and arifiQ integration. CEO Paul Hudson says:” At Hudson Printing, we use PrintOS Site Flow very effectively for web-to-print catalog products. We wanted a way to use the power of Site Flow for our ad-hoc digital print jobs, too. Since we were already familiar with the quick and easy arifiQ estimating platform, I suggested that a Site Flow integration with arifiQ would be very powerful. I’ve just had a look at the solution and found it to be just what I hoped for!”

He continues: “The combination of arifiQ and Site Flow will allow us to move all digital print jobs from estimating through production faster and easier than ever before.”
