Print MIS
Improve Production Efficiency, Workflow Productivity, and Profitability with a Print MIS
In an industry that relies heavily on customer expectations, technical innovation, process efficiencies, and tight margins, print shops have to be flexible to keep up with changing demands and growing competition. Unfortunately, many printers are bogged down with time-consuming manual processes, estimation bottlenecks, and inaccuracies that prohibit them from capitalizing on the opportunities emerging in the print industry today.
With razor thin profit margins to consider, the only way to grow your revenues and produce a solid ROI in the print industry is with the right print shop software: Print Management Information Systems (Print MIS). Print MIS software integrates all key components across your entire print operations, from estimating and production scheduling to inventory management and invoicing. This allows you to simplify workflows, deliver timely estimates, optimize production capacity, prioritize profitable jobs, and gain insight into profit margins.
Print MIS is designed to connect all parts of the printing plant, from sales and estimating to shipping. By bringing together all key functional areas of your business in one centralized location, Print MIS provides a single view of your operations that can be used to improve production, user productivity, and overall performance. Wrapped in one easy-to-use interface, most Print MIS solutions include:
- Eliminate manual processes with automation.
- Integration of disparate, siloed systems.
- Have a platform that is scalable.
- Modular solution that grows as you grow.
- Secure access through on-site server-based or cloud-based platform.
- Robust job estimating engine.
- One screen graphical diagram that shows ALL job info.

What Our Clients Say
I wanted one complete solution. When I saw HiFlow, with all its capabilities, it did not take me long to recognize that I had found my solution. They have over 100 locations in Europe which was a big positive for me. I knew we could get more personal attention.
Dale Ford, Colonial Printing, Mailing, Packaging
We chose Hiflow to realize the promise of a more customized solution, built specifically for our business, without pages upon pages of features – originally added for other companies – which we don’t need.
We also wanted a fully integrated solution with one centralized database instead of multiple, loosely connected databases. Hiflow’s superior BI reporting tools helped finalize our decision.
