Job & Workflow Management Made More Efficient and Simpler

1. Access job status from job calendar

By displaying all job statuses in a single, easy-view calendar, admins and authorized users can quickly identify any jobs that are overdue, incomplete, or need to be reviewed. This provides an efficient and organized way for admins to manage their workload and ensure that all jobs are completed in a timely manner.

2. Email sending on job message posting

Admin users can use the messaging system within the job module to send messages internally to other users as well as to customers to quickly communicate. This reduces the amount of time it takes to keep everyone in the loop about job progress. It also streamlines communication, as all messages are stored in the job module for easy access and review.

3. Turn off/on any job status before creating a new one

workflow

There are many stages at workflow in different kind of print processes. Although not every stage is required in every job. Hence, now admin will have option to choose which all stage of the pre-press workflow he wants to assign to the particular job at the time of job creation. 

By turning off/on any job status before creating a new one, admins can save time and resources by only initiating the required pre-press processes for that specific job.

4. Start and due date permissions in job module

Now, you can decide who all can see the start date and due date of the job. This feature is added to increase privacy.

Collaborate with Your Clients in Most Efficient Way

1. Edit Artwork Flow

How many times have your customer reached to you asking for changes in the design after they have placed the order? How many times have you required to make changes in the final print ready file but were not able to? Previously, when this requirement occurred, you had to ask customer to make change in the original design and place the order again.

We have break this problem and come up with the simple solution. Admin can now edit the artwork that customer has sent for print from admin panel itself. Once done, admin can simply send it for review to customer for prompt and easy communication and design approval. Customer will get to access this request from customer message panel and will be able to approve or reject the changes.

If needed, admin can also restore the original print file and send it for print.

2. Now send personalized emails to customers

While composing any e-mail template, admin users can use some pre-defined variables for generating dynamic values for intended recipients like First name, last name, order ID and more

3. Bird’s eye view of customer detail on order management panel

The product options selected by the client during the order placement process (from the eCommerce store) can now be viewed on the DesignO web2print admin panel within the job details, order items details, and job sheet. Administrators are thus able to see the end user’s inputs and process the job accordingly.

4. Product configurator output file

In the previous release we added feature to let customers edit layered products in real time. Enhancing this capability, we have now added a mechanism where once the order placed, system will provide generated preview file (thumbnail image) of the final design and include it in the output zip displaying the product preview with applied layer color and design elements. This will help printers to get the exact idea of the desired finished product

5. 360 Degree overview of all your customers at one place

customer details

With the new release, DesignO Web2Print Admin panel enables printer to access an overview of all the required details of customers at one place.

Admins can now view all orders – present and past orders placed by the customers, saved design & jobs of customer, and job messages for any customer using this feature.

The new module is an invaluable resource for admins as It allows them to quickly and easily access the key details of their customers in order to make informed decisions.
