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