As businesses seek new ways to automate their production and increase profits in the face of external cost pressures, Durst’s Lift ERP offers a highly-configurable solution that will enhance every aspect of label converters’ print businesses. Ultimately, the software is designed to save money from start to finish.

In many cases, converters would benefit from assessing their current business practices. Therefore, steps can be taken to future-proof a business, especially in times of greater demand and uncertainty. 

Lift ERP offers a multitude of features that automate and streamline printers’ print production process. This increases productivity, customer satisfaction, and employee satisfaction, all while reducing touch points and operational costs. 

A few of these features are:

1. Minimal Manual Interaction: Reduce order entry clicks utilizing “drag and drop” artwork features, enabling the customer artwork to move from order, to preflight, to approval with ease. Once approved and moved to RIP, operators can print, cut, finish, pack and ship electronically.
2. Prepress Automation: Once a file is in preflight, it can be corrected, proofed and sent to the customer with no manual touches. If the artwork fails, key staff can be automatically notified so they can work directly with the client.
3. Production Planning: Lift ERP can push jobs to a press that is already running the same material, further reducing change over and production costs. Utilizing a paperless workflow, only sends needed information to the operator, reducing information overload.
4. Customer Portal: The Customer Portal enables customers to enter their own order, check the status of current orders, review and approve proofs, retrieve PODs, access their invoices and make payments. Giving the customer the ability to manage their own account reduces requests to your team.

These features, among others, reduce time and touches, all while making converters’ production facility more streamlined and more profitable.
