The Challenge

Running Production on Paper Tickets Means Something Gets Lost or Misread Every Week.

Without Job Tickets

Manual, Paper-Based Process

  • Orders communicated to production by email or printed order forms: easy to miss, easy to misread.
  • No shop floor visibility: managers walk the floor to check what's running and what's waiting.
  • Time per stage tracked by memory or not at all. Labour costs for individual jobs are guesswork.
  • Job status updates involve chasing operators or checking a whiteboard that's three steps behind.
  • Artwork files and job specs stored separately from the job: operators hunt for the right version every time.
With Job Tickets

Automated, End-to-End Job Management

  • Every order becomes a structured digital job ticket automatically, with specs, artwork, substrate, and deadline all attached.
  • Operators scan the QR code on the ticket at each stage. Status updates appear in PrintERP the moment they scan.
  • Time per stage is logged automatically at every QR scan. Actual labour costs per job are real, not estimated.
  • Managers see the entire production floor in real time without leaving their desk.
  • Workflow rules trigger next steps automatically: ticket created, notify prepress; job complete, alert dispatch.
Why It Matters

Job Tickets & Automation Benefits

Auto-Generated Tickets

Orders automatically create structured job tickets with all production details: substrate, quantity, colors, artwork, and deadline.

QR Code Shop Floor Tracking

Print QR codes on tickets. Operators scan to update status, log time, and record material usage at each stage.

Automated Workflow Rules

Define rules that trigger actions: send to prepress on approval, notify dispatch on completion, alert customer on shipment.

How It Works

Job Tickets & Automation Workflow

1

Order Placed

An order comes in through your eCommerce store, B2B portal, or manual entry. PrintERP creates the job ticket instantly, pulling all specs from the order: substrate, quantity, colors, artwork files, and delivery date. No one types anything twice.
2

Ticket Created

The digital job ticket carries everything production needs: customer details, job specs, attached artwork, machine assignment, and a QR code. It's sent to the right production queue automatically.
3

Production Tracked

Operators scan the QR code at each stage: prepress, press, finishing, dispatch. Every scan logs the time, the operator, and the job status in real time. Managers see exactly where every job is without asking.
4

Job Completed

When the final stage is scanned, PrintERP marks the job complete, triggers the invoice, and updates the customer automatically. No manual follow-up, no missed billing.
What Customers Say

Print Operations Running on Automated Job Tickets

★★★★★

“"The time tracking alone paid for the whole system. We discovered our large-format jobs were taking 40% longer than we quoted. We repriced that work and recovered margin we didn't know we were losing."”
