US-based Hybrid Software’s Order Lifecycle Management (OLM) concept treats integration as a product, changing conventional thinking about how to integrate hardware, software and workflows right from the moment a print[print?:printing image graphic cutting solution] job is first entered.
Hybrid’s OLM software is designed for use in all areas of print, from commercial offset and digital to packaging[packaging?:DCP-H series packaging sample cutter plotter], labels, inkjet and the screen/sign markets.
Whether they operate in the field of labels, packaging, screen and signage, digital or conventional offset printing[printing?:printing cutting finishing solution], printing businesses inevitably end up using a mixture of prepress equipment and workflows as well as planning, accounting, administration software and databases that have been purchased at different times from various sources.
With margins today generally so tight, even the smallest error in job specifications or graphics[graphics?:graphics pattern] can easily eliminate the profit on a job, and Hybrid’s products prevent this by providing a high level of process automation using a printer’s existing production systems. One North American carton[carton?:carton box sample cutting machine] printer cut file-related reprints to zero immediately after implementing Hybrid’s Job Management System in its production facilities.
