Project overview
Elanders has developed advanced, user-friendly, and web-based ordering platforms that simplify the process of printing files. These IT solutions cover the entire workflow - from making orders for printing to delivering hard-copies (tailored-fit, just-in-time, or sequenced deliveries).
The old system used by the customer to manage PDF files could no longer meet modern requirements and became outdated. A new, user-friendly, and clear UI had to be created to ensure quick and convenient access to printing materials.
On the one hand, Andersen's development team helped to support and maintain the already existing system while simultaneously building a new version with improved functionality.
App functionality
- Planning operations and production activities;
- Planning staff changes and work shifts;
- Editing documents before printing (conversion from HTML to PDF, adaptation, etc.);
- Printing documents;
- Accepting and processing orders;
- A UI for the company's staff;
- Synchronizing the database with user data and groups from the company's Active Directory;
- Authorizing end-users through the company's AD;
- Managing end-users and groups in the system;
- Ensuring the app is accessible for all users.
Solution
With both the old and the new systems securely available, needed files can be selected and stored for subsequent printing and processing. In addition, settings for cutting and further stapling activities can be defined.
This has made it possible to seamlessly implement a new solution while retaining the full functionality of the old system.
Project results
- The delivered platform for Elander has simplified the printing process and streamlined the entire workflow;
- The new platform has already proven to be successful with calendars printed as a pilot product;
- The overall printing experience for Elander's clients has significantly improved.
Customer review
Review verified by clutch and matches the customer’s words
Andersen did quality work, showing how knowledgeable they were in web development. They collaborated closely and were highly organized. In Germany, it’s hard to find developers, so we were looking into IT nearshoring or offshoring. Andersen was the most qualified candidate, and their developers integrated into our team within a few days.
