Reporting and 3D:
Automatically create job reports

Report cards are based on a predefined template that customizes the report card for a specific job, using its attributes, customer information, and details that can be extracted from the database. Even metadata like ink coverage and barcode specifications can be added.

3D PDF files can be generated from the structural data associated with the job. Combined with the graphical data, it gives a 3D view of how the actual job will look like. This 3D view can even be integrated in the report card.

Benefits

• Improve relationship with your customer delivering easy to read reports
• Increased efficiency: creating reports is done automatically
• Reduced cost: save time by generating reports automatically
