PowerQuote and MyOrderDesk(tm) Deliver Integrated Orderflow, Cost Savings

MANASSAS, VA, - Nov. 16, 2004 - Under increasing pressure to improve profits, print shops continue to take advantage of new ways to increase efficiency and reduce labor costs. To help them, PowerQuote Software, Inc., and PagePath Technologies Inc. have teamed to deliver a new labor and time saving workflow. Each company provided expertise in their field, resulting is a superior solution.

By working together, the two companies have automated the flow of information from a printer's Web site to their shop floor while simultaneously eliminating many expensive and labor intensive prepress problems. As a result, PagePath's award winning MyOrderDesk "online print shop" application working with the PowerQuote Printing Estimating and Management software can dramatically reduce a shop's cost to produce an estimate and eliminate expensive data entry mistakes, while delivering proofed, print ready files.

Bruce Moore, President of PowerQuote said, "We're thrilled to integrate PowerQuote with industry leading MyOrderDesk(tm). Now both PowerQuote and MyOrderDesk(tm) users have a new and exciting opportunity to produce profit."

MyOrderDesk(tm) enables printers to automate printing orders and services over the Internet. The system can be "plugged into" a shop's existing Web site or a complete Web site can be hosted by PagePath. Besides automated proofing and file production processes, one of many features is the ability for print buyers to request a quote online.

Now the data from the quote request can be seamlessly imported into PowerQuote without the expense and mistakes typically associated with manual re-keying. The resulting quote can be emailed, pdf'd, faxed or printed.

"This is part of a trend. Instead of having isolated systems, vendors like PagePath and PowerQuote are working together to provide their customers with the cost saving benefits that can be achieved when workflow systems 'talk' to one another," observed PagePath's Steve Ciesemier.

PowerQuote handles offset, copy, digital and brokered jobs. The user friendly system has written quotes, job tickets, invoicing, easy recall of jobs for reorders, and more. Download a free demo movie at www.macestimating.com.
