By Paul Bromley, The perfect strike force: Integrating Infigo with an MIS
If there’s one thing 30 years in the print industry (and a lifelong obsession with sport) has taught me, it’s that success comes from teamwork and adaptability. Whether it’s on the pitch or the production floor, having the right players working together can make all the difference.
And just like a perfectly executed one-two on the football field, integrating Infigo with a Management Information System (MIS) creates a seamless partnership that drives results.
Back when I started at Grasmere Press, the cutting-edge tech of the day involved Quadra Macs and Syquest disks, when saving a file took as long as actual design! Fast forward three decades, and the game has changed.
Automation, efficiency, and real-time data are now the name of the game—and Infigo is at the heart of it.
Building a trophy-winning workflow
Think of an MIS as the captain of your production team—organising the game plan, tracking the stats, and ensuring every player knows their role. Integrating Infigo into this system is like adding a star striker to the squad. Suddenly, your team isn’t just good—it’s unstoppable
I’ve seen firsthand how this integration can simplify complex projects. Gone are the days of manually juggling data between systems or trying to decipher messy handoffs between departments. At its core, an MIS is designed to manage essential tasks like job scheduling, resource allocation, costing, and reporting.
But when you pair it with Infigo’s powerful web-to-print platform, you unlock the full potential of automation and scalability.
Automation and integration
Imagine receiving an online order through Infigo’s storefront. Without integration, this might trigger a string of manual processes—duplicating data entry, emails flying between departments, and room for human error. However, with a robust MIS integration, orders seamlessly flow into your production schedule.
Materials are automatically allocated, jobs are queued up, and workflows are optimised without any manual intervention. This speeds up turnaround times, improves accuracy, and frees up your team to focus on higher-value tasks.
Integration also empowers real-time decision-making. Managers gain access to live job data, enabling them to monitor costs, track progress, and manage bottlenecks before they impact deadlines. This kind of visibility gives businesses a competitive edge, allowing them to deliver faster, more reliable service to customers.
Ultimately, an Infigo – MIS integration helps your business operate like a top-tier team – efficient, agile, and ready to win.
Smells like team spirit
While our integration and innovation makes us stand out, what really sets Infigo apart from competitors is its team spirit. I know “team” is a term that can get overused, but at Infigo, it’s real.
Whether it’s responding to a customer request, developing new features, or simply tackling a challenge, the attitude is always “yes, we can do this.” Just like a strong football team, success comes from players who are willing to give their all for the badge on their shirt—and their teammates.
Winning big with Infigo and MIS
Integrating Infigo with an MIS isn’t just about software; it’s about creating a robust, scalable solution that grows with your business. Take my advice: if you want to get ahead in today’s print game, don’t just play solo. Build a team. Integrate your systems. And let Infigo help you reach new heights.
