Many firms offering solutions in the form of web shops promise the print house owners that orders will come from everywhere. What remains unsaid is that the profit on a single order is very low and the orders scale effect may cause high losses due to complaints or ignorance as to whether the order brings profit or loss. Therefore, it is so important that a print house and its management are supported by an integrated management system.
