Bonnie Cheung, Avanti Karen Meyers, Michigan Farm Bureau
Web to print is becoming a necessity in the fast paced world we operate in. See how online ordering can reduce overhead costs and increase customer satisfaction while also increasing business opportunities. Jobs can be submitted through your website through a variety of methods: online order form, templates, or fulfillment. Leveraging the use of templates and products which flow into Avanti significantly reduces staff time in file set up and writing orders. We will also demonstrate FusionPro and file set up as part of this session.
