Streamlining print production: How Apogee and Pace work together

In today’s competitive print landscape, companies are under constant pressure to lower costs and accelerate turnaround times. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by streamlining the entire production workflow—from estimating and job creation to prepress, press and finishing.

By integrating systems like Management Information Systems (MIS) with their prepress production software, printers can eliminate manual steps, reduce errors and gain real-time visibility into every stage of production.

This video demonstrates how ePS Pace MIS and ECO3 Apogee work together to create a fully connected, automated workflow that improves efficiency and enhances customer experience.

From estimate to plate making — all in one flow


The journey begins in Pace, where a customer service representative or estimator converts an estimate into a job. With just a few clicks, the job is submitted directly to Apogee Prepress, automatically populating the system with all relevant job details, customer information, and production specs.


Once the job is created, the customer receives an email invitation to upload their print-ready files via the WebApproval portal. The intuitive interface allows them to drag and drop their PDFs, which are then uploaded directly into Apogee. The system immediately begins rendering single-page proofs for review. Customers can inspect, approve or comment on each proof.


Once all pages are approved, Apogee automatically proceeds with plate making. Real-time cost data flows back into Pace. This ensures accurate billing, better scheduling, and full transparency for both the printer and the customer.

Key benefits for your print business

  • Less manual intervention – Automated handoffs between systems reduce the need for human input.
  • Fewer mistakes – Real-time updates and proofing minimize errors and miscommunication.
  • Cost savings – Labor, materials, and production costs are tracked and optimized automatically.
