Cloud-based solution

Apogee StoreFront is a cloud-based solution, which means there’s no need to invest in servers, software, database applications or an expensive symmetrical internet connection. What’s more, it considerably speeds up your time to market.

Multiple easy-to-manage stores

Create multiple online shops, each targeting a specific customer or market, or offering a certain type of product. Get that competitive advantage by opting for the cost-effective solution that is Apogee StoreFront.

Managing your shops, maintaining an overview of your product offerings, keeping track of orders – with just one glance at Apogee StoreFront’s intuitive dashboard, you’ll be up to date. As it’s easy to work with, there are no extra staff investments needed.

Powerful Online Editor

Apogee StoreFront’s Online Editor enables print buyers to customize documents online. This comes in handy for business cards, data sheets and newsletters. And of course for entire brochures, catalogs and posters. Even non-print gadgets can be customized, such as a box of pens or t-shirts. While the occasional user only needs to fill in a form to personalize a business card or stationery, demanding buyers will be delighted by the advanced editing features for the creation of rich multi-page publications.

Approval options for companies

Offer organizations the possibility of reviewing all orders placed by their employees, both in terms of content and pricing. They will thank you for making it easy to verify their brand style and print budget. Larger companies can even appoint approvers per region or team. Furthermore, corporate customers have the option of exporting a detailed overview of all purchases to an Excel file.

Streamline your workflow

Online orders are automatically downloaded and processed by Apogee Prepress, for a perfectly streamlined and efficient data flow.

Additional features

  • Stores use a responsive design to work on phones as well as large monitors.
  • Industry-standard file formats such as PDF and JDF for an optimal data flow.
  • Support of multiple languages, currencies and online payment methods.
  • Integrated preflight engine for the validation of uploaded files.
