information from each job to the right operators, applications, and
devices for timely, efficient completion. Use simple drag-and-drop
icons to easily create linear workflows. Automatically retrieve job
information from where it originated (MIS, Web to print, CSR input)
and route it to the right applications and devices. Put only the
necessary information on each operator’s user-friendly, uncluttered
interface. And fine-tune rights and responsibilities as required.
TotalFlow Path integrates third-party applications into a linear
workflow with complete job tracking. And it eliminates paper tickets,
reduces human touch points, filters out jobs based on who needs to
see them, and provides a comprehensive view of what’s happening
in your shop from one job to the next.
