When a customer clicks approve, someone on your team opens the MIS, creates a job order, re-enters the specs, locates the file, routes it to prepress, and finds a press slot. Repeated across every job, every day, that sequence consumes hours that never show on a job ticket. According to Keypoint Intelligence, “80% of print service providers still rely on manual labor for more than half their jobs.” And it’s that hidden admin work, sitting between customer approval and production start, where time and margin quietly disappear.
