Local workflow specialist DES has been selected to distribute the Accura Print Management Information System to Australia and New Zealand printers.
First established in the UK, Accura MIS now has more than 600 users worldwide and is set to grow in the Australia and New Zealand markets, where it already has some 14 users.
First making an impression at PacPrint 05, and more recently appearing at Printex 07 in Sydney's Darling Harbour, Accura has demonstrated its commitment to the Australian print market. With state of the art information features, designed specifically for digital and litho printing companies, Accura is confident it can inspire a local audience. Its appointment of DES ensures it will have on-the-ground sales and service from a nationwide leading edge organisation.
According to DES Accura is a powerful, integrated print MIS business system, providing the core functionality a print business needs to run efficiently. It is a flexible, modular package, allowing printers to expand the system to their business requirements and create a more efficient workflow.
Russell Cavenagh, sales director at DES says, "Accura will be able to simplify and accelerate workflows, while saving money and increasing accuracy. It really is a vital investment for companies that wish to grow and succeed in this evolving industry."
DES says Accura MIS quite literally does it all. From taking the initial enquiry and raising the quote, through to delivering it and preparing the invoice data, the integration of an Accura system will enable printers to accurately monitor and control business costs. It will help analyse the profitability of the business by department, sales person, job type as well as helping to track every step of the process, eliminating costly delays and ensuring all costs extra to the quote are picked up and invoiced. In short, enabling effective decision making instead of half educated guesses.
Already successfully installed in some of the world's leading print houses, Accura is looking forward to healthy growth in local markets. "Accura has already installed systems in 14 leading print groups in Australia. We are very pleased to now offer them local service and support as well as expanding the user base throughout Australia and New Zealand" commented Cavenagh.
