How Print Automation Works
PrintXpand’s print workflow automation software streamlines how products are configured, orders are processed, and jobs are manufactured. Accelerate your print workflow with intelligent automation.
Configure Products & Routes
Set up product, variant, and routes in alignment with resource availability and fulfillment logic.
Define BOM Templates
Create a dynamic bill of materials template that will adjust based on product configuration.
Create/Receive Orders
Consolidate orders from storefronts, portals, or integrations without manual data entry.
Automated Manufacturing
Convert orders into production-ready work orders across facilities automatically.
Print Automation Platform Ensures Operational Visibility
Work Order Templates
Design configurable work order templates that adapt by product type, print method, or department to ensure that production teams always see the right data.
Work Order Management
Manage connected workflow, so every step of the process, from printing to dispatch, aligns together, and the job gets completed without operational chaos.
Live Product MIS
Track live product-level metrics, including order status, quantities, wastage, and profitability across locations from a centralized Print MIS dashboard.
Live Workorder MIS
Monitor all active work orders in real time to identify bottlenecks, missed SLAs, or capacity constraints before they impact delivery timelines.
QR Driven Work Tickets
Enable QR-driven work tickets that give operators instant access to job details, artwork, and checklists, thus reducing errors and floor-level confusion.
Print Automation Platform Features That Actually Matter
PrintXpand’s dedicated print workflow automation software is built around real production logic and supports complex BOMs, routing rules, and manufacturing dependencies at scale
Sale Order to Manufacturing Automation
Automate the entire journey from confirmed sales orders to manufacturing while ensuring zero data loss. Enable full traceability across departments and facilities.
Automated Bill-of-Materials
Generate BOMs dynamically based on product configuration, size, quantity, material, and finishing rules to help procurement and production teams work with precision and consistency.
Hotfolders for Printing Data Management
Use hotfolders to automatically route print-ready files to machines, vendors, or RIP systems, which is ideal for high-volume environments and distributed manufacturing setups.
Work Order Automation
Create, split, merge, or reroute work orders automatically based on load, capacity, or production logic while eliminating the need for constant manual supervision.
Resource Planner and Bulk Assignment
Coordinate between resource workload capacity limits and deadlines by planning the bulk printing jobs smartly to accommodate the machines and operators' capabilities.
Automated Replenishment Rules
Trigger material replenishment based on consumption thresholds to avoid stockouts and production delays. This is especially beneficial for packaging and label printers.
Custom Quality Checks
Organize and divide the whole printing process by defining mandatory checkpoints with validation, approvals, or evidence uploads to maintain consistent output quality.
Configurable Packaging Slips
Generate rule-based, branded packaging slips that adapt to customer requirements, product type, or fulfillment methods. Give them flexibility for customization without the chaos.
Streamlined Order Delivery
Connect dispatch, tracking, and delivery confirmation within a single print process automation software, and close the loop from order to delivery.
