Digital Transformation
in E-Business Print

For several years, it has become evident that printing companies that have embraced the topic of digital

transformation have better chances of remaining future-proof and

competitive.

The transition from a traditional printing operation to a digitally networked enterprise does not

present few businesses with significant challenges. Digital technologies are developing at a rapid

pace, and the use of smartphones, tablets, and laptops continues to gain

importance. Digitalization is also unstoppable in the area of work equipment and machinery.

Digitalization is unstoppable. To connect all of this in a contemporary way and to facilitate exchange with

employees, partners, and customers in a future-proof manner, often requires a

new or at least updated digital infrastructure.

Every entrepreneur should be aware that digital transformation is not a task with a fixed start and end date, like other projects. Instead, it is an ongoing process of change that requires careful planning, continuous optimization, and implementation. It is a complex cycle characterized by the consistent pursuit of optimization opportunities, forward-looking planning, and the implementation of new solutions. Results must be continuously analyzed, errors corrected, and processes adjusted. These measures apply to both internal operations and all processes involving or serving customers. Therefore, a holistic view of the transformation process is essential.

Many printing companies that have successfully embarked on digital transformation were compelled to develop suitable concepts and solutions for their businesses through extensive effort. This was a challenging path that consumed a significant portion of their often-limited resources, whether in terms of budget or the labor of required personnel. However, there is an alternative approach.

Especially for printing companies, there is an opportunity in many areas to initiate necessary changes with significantly less effort and in a shorter timeframe by utilizing established digital solutions. For instance, a dedicated e-business print platform can serve as the technological foundation for this transformation. Our printformer.io App enables businesses to easily create a professional and fully functional print shop in just minutes, by combining the popular Shopify e-commerce platform with our specialized version of printformer. This avoids extensive research, long development times, and high costs, allowing the printing company to consolidate its profitability and generate higher sales figures throughout the entire digitalization process.

The advantages of the printformer.io App are clear. Businesses benefit from low investment costs for implementing the digital print shop, and the cloud-based application ensures that all current updates and bug fixes are available at all times, without the need to allocate internal resources for web development and service. This means a 'state-of-the-art' system is always available without tying up additional resources.

The size of the existing order volume is irrelevant, as the system can be easily adapted to the current number of print jobs, making it flexibly scalable. However, one of the greatest advantages is certainly the rapid time-to-market, as printformer.io allows you to set up your own print shop in just a few minutes – one of the

most important success factors for competing effectively in the market.
