"Why would anyone want to be busy all day moving tasks manually, trying to prevent conflicts, trying to minimize setup, etc., when you could let PrintFlow do it for you with almost total automation? I was able to teach PrintFlow’s brain with the knowledge of our schedulers, managers, and production. There was nothing that I was not able to teach PrintFlow'.
Marco Caciotti Europe IT Manager, Multi-Color Corporation
