A pressroom that runs to plan

A print floor juggles many jobs across presses and finishing, each with deadlines and setups. Plan it loosely and machines idle between jobs, rush jobs disrupt everything, and deliveries slip.

This module plans production: machine and shift scheduling with job cards — so presses are loaded efficiently, setups are minimised, and jobs ship on time.

It connects directly to the rest of your Printing Packaging ERP, and can be extended with AI or mobile apps for field teams.
