Print ERPai

Intelligence that drives profit


Every quotation, order and production job generates valuable data. Artificial intelligence can interpret that data, but it also needs context. That context comes from your Print ERP. It connects customers, estimates, orders, machines, planning, production and margins. Add AI, and your Print ERP can understand all that information, automate processes and support better decisions. This is how your Print ERP evolves from a system that manages your business into the intelligence that drives profitability.

From data management to intelligent business operations

Dataline brings AI to the heart of your business operations: from quote request to estimating, from planning to dispatch, from automation to sustainability. This helps you get more out of your people, machines and data.

With AI-driven Print ERP software, data becomes the fuel for better decisions. Artificial intelligence helps you interpret information faster, manage processes with greater precision and make better use of commercial opportunities. This is not AI as an experiment, but smart technology that can be applied directly to the day-to-day operations of print, sign and LFP companies.

Estimaite 

From email to quotation in one click

Automatically convert quote requests by email into usable estimates


Quote requests rarely arrive in a tidy format. Customers send emails with attachments, separate specifications, comments, screenshots or incomplete instructions. For your estimator, that means: reading, interpreting, retyping, checking and correcting.

Estimaite largely takes over that preparatory work. The AI tool analyses your customer requests, recognises relevant production parameters and helps you create an accurate estimate faster in MultiPress. This shortens the time between request and quotation. You can process more requests, while reducing the risk of misinterpretations or overlooked details.

For print, sign and LFP companies, this means a clear competitive advantage: faster responses, more professional quotations and less margin loss due to errors in preparation.

  • Faster processing of quote requests
  • Less manual retyping
  • Fewer interpretation and input errors
  • Higher output per estimator
  • Shorter response times for customers
  • Greater chance of winning jobs

Planmaite 
Optimise your planning intelligently 

Analyse your planning and gain more control over the production flow


Production planning changes constantly: urgent jobs, machine changeovers, material shortages, staffing levels and delivery deadlines make planning complex. One small disruption can be felt throughout the entire production process.

Planmaite analyses your planning, detects bottlenecks, identifies optimisation opportunities and helps you align jobs, machines and deadlines more effectively. This gives you greater control over your production flow. Not by working harder, but by identifying more quickly where adjustments are needed.

  • Fewer bottlenecks, better overview
  • Better delivery reliability
  • Smarter use of machines and staff
  • Fewer last-minute corrections
  • More calm and predictability in planning
  • Higher productivity on the shop floor

Flowmaite 
Automate processes based on unstructured input

Best technical workflow solution


Classic workflows work perfectly well as long as the input is predictable and structured. In practice, however, things often work differently. In print, sign and LFP companies, information arrives via emails, comments, confirmations, order instructions or separate customer communications.

Flowmaite helps you interpret unstructured information and automatically convert it into concrete actions within MultiFlow. This allows you to automate processes that used to be too variable or too complex: recognising input, starting actions, passing on data or activating workflows without anyone having to check and process everything manually.

  • Fewer repetitive administrative tasks
  • Fewer manual intermediate steps
  • Faster processing of information
  • Fewer errors caused by manual interpretation
  • More time for work that adds value

Einstain
Most profitable production method

Compare production scenarios to find the most profitable approach


The same print job can often be produced in several different ways. Digital or offset? On which press? With which material? Which finishing method? At what run length does a different production method become more attractive?The machine with the lowest hourly cost is not necessarily the most profitable choice.

Einstain compares possible production scenarios and determines which method is most profitable for a specific job. The AI takes into account factors including set-up times, production speed, material consumption, waste, processing, capacity and costs. This allows you to see, before production starts, which combination of machines and processes provides the best balance of cost, lead time and margi

  • Most profitable production method for each job
  • Smarter choices between machines and printing technologies
  • Greater control over production and material costs
  • Faster decisions when several production options are available
  • Better use of your machinery and available capacity

Maike or Buy 
Produce in-house or outsource?

Compare make-or-buy scenarios and choose the most profitable option

 

You do not necessarily need to produce every job on your own machines. A full production schedule, specialised finishing, unusual formats or specific production techniques can make outsourcing more attractive. But a low purchase price does not automatically mean that outsourcing is the best choice. Your own capacity, lead time and internal production costs also play a role in that decision.

Maike or Buy compares in-house production with outsourcing and helps determine which option is most profitable for a specific job.The AI takes production costs, available capacity, lead time and outsourcing costs into account. This helps you decide more quickly whether to keep a job in-house or outsource it to create more margin or operational flexibility.

 

  • Faster decisions on in-house production versus outsourcing
  • Clear, objective comparison of production and purchasing costs
  • Smarter use of available production capacity
  • Better decisions for special or non-standard production jobs
  • Higher margins through well-founded make-or-buy decisions

Optimaite 
Smarter dispatch, lower transport costs

Combine orders and destinations into optimal delivery routes


Efficient dispatch involves more than getting orders out of the door on time. Delivery addresses, time windows, load volumes, available vehicles and driving distances all determine how much time and cost each delivery requires. When several jobs leave on the same day, working out the best route and sequence can quickly become complex.

Optimaite analyses planned deliveries and calculates how they can be combined and scheduled as efficiently as possible. Artificial intelligence helps optimise routes, reduce unnecessary mileage and make better use of available transport capacity. This reduces logistics costs per delivery, cuts unnecessary driving time and gives you greater control over dispatch.

  • Fewer kilometres and lower costs per delivery
  • Smarter combination of orders and destinations
  • Better use of vehicles and loading capacity
  • Less manual route planning
  • Greater control over delivery times and dispatch
