Why You Need ERP

Manual quotes & spreadsheets can't keep up

Every job can have a different size, material, design, colour, quantity, process, delivery date and costing structure. Without a proper ERP system it becomes difficult to control jobs, materials, production timelines and margins.

Manual quotation & estimation errors
Artwork approval delays
Difficulty tracking job cards
Paper, ink, board & film stock mismatch
Material wastage during production
Machine scheduling issues
Lack of real-time production visibility
Delayed dispatch & delivery
Manual billing & GST calculation mistakes
Poor job-wise profitability tracking
Difficulty managing multiple branches or units
Lack of accurate reports for decisions
