MIS platforms and workflow applications

Graphic Communications delivers end-to-end print workflow solutions built around MIS platforms and workflow applications that help print providers reduce manual touchpoints, improve visibility across the business, and keep work moving from intake through delivery.

Connect the Systems That Keep Print Moving 

For many print businesses, the challenge is not just producing the work. It is managing everything that happens around it, from customer order intake and estimating to scheduling, shop floor activity, fulfillment, and billing.

When these processes sit in separate systems or rely on manual handoffs, it becomes harder to keep jobs moving, maintain visibility, and respond quickly when production priorities change.

Print Workflow solutions help solve that problem by connecting the core systems and workflows printers rely on every day. The result is a more joined-up operation with fewer delays, better information flow, and stronger control across the full production lifecycle.

Core Print Workflow Capabilities

Connected order entry and job intake 

Bring customer orders into the business more efficiently through connected intake processes, including online ordering with MarketDirect StoreFront.

Why Print Workflow Matters 

Reduce manual handoffs 

Connecting systems across the business helps reduce duplicated effort, manual updates, and disconnected processes between teams

Improve operational visibility 

A more integrated workflow gives better insight into job status, production activity, schedules, and overall business performance.

Keep jobs moving more efficiently 

When estimating, scheduling, production, and fulfillment are better connected, teams can reduce delays and improve throughput.

Make better day-to-day decisions 

With clearer data and stronger workflow visibility, teams can respond faster to issues and manage production with more confidence.

Create a stronger foundation for growth 

A connected workflow helps print businesses scale more effectively without adding the same level of operational complexity.

How It Fits Into the Workflow 

Print Workflow is not one isolated step in the process. It is the framework that connects the commercial, operational, and production sides of the print business.

At the centre of that framework are MIS platforms that help manage jobs, costs, production, and business processes. Around them are workflow applications that extend capability into areas such as online ordering, estimating, scheduling, shop floor data, planning, fulfillment, and customer communications.

Together, these systems help print businesses build a more efficient operation from the first customer interaction through to delivery and invoicing, with better visibility and fewer gaps between departments.
