Pricing and RFQ

The iWay Enterprise RFQ system provides the Print House with a set of tools for front desk and sales personnel. With these tools, the Print House user can provide rapid and accurate quotes for even the most complicated Jobs. When logging into the system, the user can calculate the costs of the various parameters, review the quote history of the customer and view any other information needed in order to provide an accurate quote that will be both revenue generating and competitive.

The Printer monitors all of the pricing parameters, carries out changes and adapts the pricing scheme to the specific price quote of the specific customer. The Printer can offer several options for the same quote, in order to enable the customer to choose the quote most suited to his needs. In addition, the Printer can offer an automatic pricing system, which can be configured per Job, per template or per customer, providing a real-time, automatic price quote.

Scheduling and Production: Floor Management

iWay Enterprise provides the Print Provider with a comprehensive scheduling and production floor management system, which supplies online feedback from the work stations along the production line. Working with this system, Print Provider personnel can view the current Job production schedule as well as the complete work schedule of every workstation on the production floor and thereby be in a position to control and optimize, in real time, the entire production process.

Job Definitions

The JDF Job Definition interface acts as the gateway for defining Jobs in the iWay Enterprise. Job Definition can be defined either by the Print Provider Front Desk and production staff or it can be defined by those Print Buyers who have been authorized by the Print Provider.

Through the JDF Job Definition interface, Job parameters can be submitted to the system where access to the database is available. Job Definition can begin with a ready-made template designed to save the time necessary for defining specific parameters.
After the Job Definition has been finalized, the user receives a comprehensive definition report that provides a complete view of the Job construction, tasks, prices etc. This report enables the production manager to understand all of the processes that make up the Job and subsequently allows the production manager to continue on to production planning and scheduling.
