Avoiding Automation Pitfalls

Darrian Young, Aleyant

Aleyant provides mobile ready, cloud-based solutions for web-to-print storefronts, online design and personalization, print job estimating and pricing, as well as automated preflighting workflow. Workflow automation from the customer-facing storefront to prepress to production is a hallmark of our software, as well as with “playing well” with third party software systems.

Aleyant tFLOW is a powerful digital and large format automation workflow solution that is integrated into the Aleyant ecosystem. tFLOW puts the “pre” back into preflight. Speed up your turnaround times as files are automatically checked and fixed when they come into your shop, not after they have been sitting in folders for a day. In addition, tFLOW enables customers, sales representatives, prepress operators and production teams to collaborate in real-time 24/7 with total visibility, eliminating lengthy email chains, text messages and calls that cause missed deadlines and costly mistakes and delays.

As with any new implementation, there are strategies you can put in place to avoid common roadblocks and pitfalls. VP Product Management, Workflow at Aleyant, Darrian Young will share his wealth of knowledge gained from launching automation software in top shops across the country.
