Less stress at Print & Compagnie with MultiPress

Ghent-based print business Print & Compagnie specialises in textile printing of all kinds and products. They offer the full range of printing techniques: screen printing, transfer printing, Direct to Garment (DTG) printing, embroidering and pad printing. The company has had successful years and can barely keep up with its growth with current accounting software WinAuditor. Moreover, better planning and higher-performance administration were needed. High time to optimise the workflow with MultiPress!

High-quality textile printing

Print & Compagnie, based in Ghent, guarantees high-quality textile printing. Their young team has no trouble meeting tight deadlines for both small and large orders. To print these, they use only water-based inks, because that type of ink is about the only one that does not contain any harmful substances.

Their target audience consists of large and small companies, hotels, restaurants, shops, healthcare institutions, schools, youth movements, sports clubs, leisure clubs, events, etc. Some prominent clients include De Lijn, Arteveldehogeschool or also the citizens' movement Hart boven Hard.

Lack of overview

Print & Compagnie mainly worked with the accounting software Winauditor to manage their processes, but after a substantial business growth, employees struggled to keep up with that software. One of the biggest bottlenecks was the lack of overview, for both Relationship management and planning. Ann, the administrative manager, received a thousand e-mails every day, small changes to orders passed her by in a flash and the planning document became so confusing at the end of the week that no one could make sense of it. This software, unlike MultiPress, is not suitable for managing such a wide range of printing techniques.

Moreover, the software did not take into account fluctuating supplier prices, such as cotton prices, so they spent more time looking for the most up-to-date figures than on administrative tasks. At the end of the day, they at Print & Company had no visibility into the profitability of each print job. In short: the lack of overview resulted in a lot of unnecessary headaches.

One clear platform within MultiPress

The company has good relations with colleague Himrey Screen from Zedelgem, an experienced and satisfied MultiPress user for many years. There, Print & Compagnie became acquainted with the ERP/MIS software MultiPress and discovered how MultiPress can also flawlessly serve the specialised and versatile textile printing market. With the Dataline audit tool MicroMAS, the company was able to calculate the cost and time savings if they used MultiPress. With MultiPress, the company would save as much as 74 hours and 2997 euros per week. 

In addition, they switch from an article-by-article to an order-driven way of working, where all steps are carried out on one clear platform and the printing process runs as efficiently as possible, without stress. And the supplier prices? Ann, the administrative manager, no longer has to search for them manually; MultiPress automatically keeps them up to date.

With MultiPress, Print & Compagnie has acquired professional business software that is perfectly suited to such a dynamic textile company.
