Firehouse

With 100-300 one-off units moving through their shop per day, Firehouse found itself being squeezed by increasingly tighter turn times. They sought a production automation solution that would allow them to get files to RIP in minutes instead of hours of hand work.

bluemedia

bluemedia, a supplier to MLB and NFL franchises for vehicle and large format environmental graphics company, produces high-profile graphics for exterior defense mesh, field walls, and building wraps. With steady growth and demand for their products and services, the company found themselves needing to handle 100 new files per day but orders and files were being bogged down unnecessarily in preflight. As a result, they decided to pursue Aleyant tFLOW, as their workflow automation solution.

MMT

MMT is the industry leader in large format printing, outdoor advertising graphics and billboard printing operating out of an 80,000-sqft facility in Wooster, Ohio. A pioneer in digital grand-format outdoor signage since 1987, today the company offers a diversified portfolio of outof-home solutions, from billboards, transit, events, stadiums, and sports signage.

As clients increasingly demand faster proof turnarounds, MMT realized they could not scale with a manual solution, and their existing technology couldn’t handle all the complexity of today’s file prep demands. Nazdar Consulting recommended they try an automated proofing approval solution from Aleyant.

S2K

S2K Graphics is an established firm with more than 25 years specializing in POP graphics, digital largeformat printing, and screen printing. Based inTennessee and California, S2K Graphics is part of the Franke Group and has a nationwide sales network.

Frustrated that their ERP workflow system required too much paperwork to manage digital files, VP and General Manager Phil Garcia, sought a new solution. When he heard about Aleyant tFLOW from Mike Ruff, he immediately recognized the potential of tFLOW automation.

Image Craft

As it became common to receive dozens of jobs everyday that were due in a matter of hours, executives at Image Craft realized they needed to make a fundamental change: They began looking for a way to automate. As industry veteran and VP of Operations Doug Madeley summarizes:

“Client expectations are being driven by online ordering platforms such as Shutterfly – and we have to keep up, especially on the custom products side. There are two ways to do that: adding labor and extending your costs or automating to cut the time it takes to get it ripped and ready to print.”
