PrintSmith Vision

An innovative and modern software system for any print company.

Kommentare: Print Smith is what I started off with when I started my job. Print Smith Vision is the evolution of this order management system that continues to innovate and surprise its users. I would recommend this program to anyone running a printing or marketing management business.

Vorteile:

What I liked most about this software was all the new features in it. The amount of details and flexibility for each line item and job helps us push for more customers.

Nachteile:

My only complaint about this software is it does occasionally get weird glitches. These glitches take away paper stock we have and we have to wait on an IT tech to work on it.

PrintSmith Vision Review

Kommentare: We have been using PrintSmith since the beginning of time, so we have seen a lot of changes over the years. We are very pleased with how the application has developed into a robust application that is now able to interact with DSF.

Vorteile:

Once it is fully set up, it is an easy-to-use application. Most importantly, it allows the end-user to place orders online via DSF, which makes the whole data entry process easy to oversee and maintain.

Nachteile:

Some options are locked such as when searching Web Orders, the search option cannot be customized so instead of 'Invoice' as default, to change 'Web Order'

Solid product with great potential but still falls short.

Kommentare: We've been PS users since 2004. Each time new owners purchase the suite of products, development accellerates for a time, then resources are reallocated elswhere and updates and fixes come more slowly. This can be very frustrating, however it's fairly common in the software world of today.

Vorteile:

Of the MIS systems available, this is the most cost effective solution. Some support representatives such as [sensitive content hidden] are fantastic. PS is a solid base product with long development history.

Nachteile:

The development team, while good, is smaller so changes, bug fixes and enhancements take a long time. Third party solutions are needed to provide features that should be provided natively. Needs cost effective web-to-print option, better native CRM features, and better billing integration.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: QuickBooks Enterprise

Gründe für den Wechsel zu PrintSmith Vision: Printsmith was the most cost effective option.

Commercial Printer Approved; Easy Interface and New Feature Rollouts Often

Kommentare: I have looked into other similar applications that are competitive to PrintSmith, but nothing has been able to compare to the depth of detail and usability that PrintSmith has. Despite the bugs (which are inevitable in any software), this is a great system that makes our day to day very streamlined.

Vorteile:

The interface is relatively straightforward to use, making it train someone on. The ability to make templates and copy from the account history is helpful in keeping consistency across jobs as well. In the last few years, the developers have really taken on a lot of feature requests from users and are making significant updates that we have been asking for to make our workflow easier.

Nachteile:

It's a fairly buggy system to the point where we will have to make workarounds or a different process other than what is recommended to get the results we are needing. Support is helpful and fairly quick to respond, but sometimes the problems are hard to diagnose since there are so many ways to use the program (bug vs. user error distinction).

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: DocketManager

Gründe für den Wechsel zu PrintSmith Vision: This was a nice software but it relied heavily on integrating more systems that we currently use to make it worth the while for us. PrintSmith has the ability to add additional software integrations but functions just fine without them.

PSV is the only software we would use for our size business

Kommentare: PSV has been a solid piece of business software that is cost effective and is up for us 99.9% of the time.

Vorteile:

Great software - excellent support - have using PS for 20 + years - glad it is self hosting. Have the cloud option but will never use it.

Nachteile:

Does not have a report writer built in. I am able to use the i-net report writer as well as write sql statements to retrieve the data I need; however, a more intuitive simplified report writer would be nice.
