Technology - PressCentric

Web-based management software, optimized for the printing industry.

The PressCentric system is based on a well-established and increasingly popular technology known as Software as a Service, abbreviated SaaS. It puts your printing company at the forefront of technology – and efficiency.

There are no applications or software to install. No servers to maintain. No infrastructure to invest in. We take care of all of this for you.

PressCentric is a service provided to you via the Internet. Everything happens in a cutting-edge environment referred to as “the Cloud”.

We know you’re used to owning your own equipment. But the benefits of adapting a web-based platform are enormous.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a software delivery method that provides access to software and its functions remotely as a Web-based service. SaaS allows organizations to access business functionality at a cost typically less than paying for licensed applications since SaaS pricing is based on a monthly fee. Also, because the software is hosted remotely, users don’t need to invest in additional hardware. SaaS removes the need for organizations to handle the installation, set-up and often daily upkeep and maintenance.

Our platform is designed to enable printers and print brokers to manage daily business and drive sales with unprecedented efficiency.

The solution is all about growing your business while driving down costs – with tools like Web-to-Print automation and Metrix™ Imposition Software.

It facilitates every aspect of the printing business – from order processing and billing to production and shipping.
