7 January 2025
Dataline, the European market leader in MIS/ERP software for print, sign, and LFP companies, will participate in the 15th edition of the biennial Hunkeler Innovationdays. This prestigious event will take place from 24 to 27 February 2025 in Lucerne, Switzerland, and serves as the international meeting point for cutting-edge technologies in the digital printing and finishing industry.
With MultiPress, the MIS/ERP solution specifically designed for print production companies, Dataline focuses on reducing administrative costs and improving margins.
Why MultiPress is a game-changer for the print, sign, and LFP industry
The Hunkeler Innovationdays traditionally spotlight hardware automation and machine integration. Dataline highlights another, equally essential, aspect: optimising business processes. MultiPress offers a comprehensive solution for print production companies aiming to minimise administrative costs, streamline order processing, and ensure seamless communication between departments and clients.
“Administrative business processes often represent hidden costs. With MultiPress, we help print production companies not only streamline their operations but also reduce their administrative expenses, thereby significantly improving their margins,” says Dirk Deroo, CEO of Dataline.
