| Overview |
|
EFI Digital StoreFront is an in-house, company-branded website and transaction server that manages, automates and streamlines the entire print procurement and production process. With Digital StoreFront, print providers can allow their customers to leverage the Internet to submit and proof printing jobs faster, easier and more accurately than ever. Digital StoreFront directs the flow of data through your entire print center operation, intelligently routing incoming jobs to the appropriate output device and automating all estimating, quoting, billing and reporting functions. It eliminates the need for redundant data entry, minimizing the likelihood of human error and eliminating unnecessary “busy work” in the print shop.

EFI Digital StoreFront provides a simple interface that allows print customers to submit files from their PC or network, view PDF proofs of their documents and select job specifications—24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once all customer and job information is entered, Digital StoreFront creates a job ticket and the file is automatically converted into a PDF file and routed to the appropriate output device without operator intervention (or held for scheduling if so desired). File conversions, quotes, PDF proofs, electronic job tickets and invoices are all generated automatically. Device utilization is optimized through improved ability to view, manage and schedule print jobs, increasing the capacity of existing equipment. Billing information can be automatically routed to internal accounting systems to ensure accuracy. And automatic email alerts let customers know the status of their jobs.
