New Solution Improves Production Turn-Around Times and Customer Satisfaction through Automated Interface

ARLINGTON, Va. -- PLP Digital Systems, Inc., a leading provider of production workflow management applications and decision support tools, today announced OpCenter eOrder, the latest module to the comprehensive OpCenter workflow solution.

With OpCenter eOrder, production teams can streamline and upgrade the order interface with their customers. The Web based work order solution allows customers to place orders and upload source files to production through one easy to use application. Most jobs can begin to be processed upon receipt, eliminating lag time and improving turn-around. When used in conjunction with the OpCenter Track module, orders will be automatically registered in the tracking database, providing a high level of production visibility into order details and deadlines. OpCenter eOrder:

* Provides a simple, easy to use digital work order for placing orders

* Minimizes keystrokes and errors by adhering to workflow rules and existing fields

* Reduces bottlenecks through immediate file processing upon order receipt

* Can automatically route jobs to the specified production location for fulfillment

* Includes a preflight license for What You See Is What You Print (WYSIWYP) viewing, orientation, alignment and more

OpCenter eOrder is an independent module that builds on the latest major upgrades to the OpCenter product line. When utilized with the full OpCenter solution, customers benefit from significant enhancements including: technical color renderings, highly intuitive pre-flight viewing, streamlined digital work order capabilities and on-site services (or facilities management) improvements. The full solution makes production significantly easier and more convenient, while improving customer interaction accuracy.
