March 6, 2002—T/R Systems, a developer of innovative solutions for the production of digital documents, has announced broad commercial availability of Digital StoreFront, a fully automated Web storefront solution. Digital StoreFront simplifies print job submission and proofing over the Internet. It automates quoting while maximizing device utilization and job turnaround for in-plant, facilities management, and quick print operations. Digital StoreFront is a customizable, print center-branded server/software solution that print providers own, host, and control. The business rules-based model allows service providers to modify their storefront as needed, and print center hosting ensures the confidentiality of customer information. Since Digital StoreFront is not based on an Application Service Provider (ASP) system, there are no hosting or transaction fees.
According to T/R Systems, Digital StoreFront’s complete automation capabilities reduce the production cycle, decrease the opportunity for error, and eliminate redundant data entry in the print shop. Employee intervention is not necessary for document conversion, nor is it needed for the creation of online proofs, quotes, job tickets, or job status information. Files can be either automatically routed to production devices without operator intervention, or held for scheduling. Billing information can be automatically routed to billing and accounting systems to ensure accuracy.
Digital StoreFront is priced between $30,000 and $70,000, based on model and options selected. For more information on Digital StoreFront, contact Mike Knight, Vice President of Professional Services, at 770/453-7440.
