Bimp ERP for the printing industry
Main problems in the printing industry
Printing production involves dozens of operations, various types of products, and constant pressure from deadlines. When planning is done in Excel or legacy systems, the manager works "blindly," order statuses must be checked manually, and profits are lost due to a lack of systemization.
Non-linear processes
One order goes through: printing → laminating → die-cutting. Another takes a completely different set of operations. Standard systems cannot handle such routings.
Planning in Excel
When schedules are compiled manually in spreadsheets, planning errors and missed deadlines are inevitable.
Downtime due to materials
Ink, paper, or cardboard can suddenly run out right in the middle of a print run because warehouse inventory is not tracked systematically.
Loss of traceability
The warehouse operates manually. Finding the right roll, checking its batch or quality certificate quickly is almost impossible.
Approximate cost calculation
Costs are estimated "by eye". Without accurate tracking of depreciation and operator time, evaluating the real profitability of an order is difficult.
Hidden "bottlenecks"
Management makes decisions without exact numbers. It is hard to understand exactly which stage or machine is slowing down the entire production.
