Web-Based Project Management System - Agfa Delano

The emergence of digital workflow, the rapid changes in the world market, the pattern of printing after the first transmission, and the emergence of printing brokers operating on the basis of e-commerce are changing the role of the printing manager. This role becomes even more complex as print managers are involved in different work partners, work processes, geography, and even different languages, and turn each factor into a unified production force. Agfa Delano offers a predictable and efficient management approach. The increase in efficiency allows the company to quickly complete the printing job, increase competitiveness, and increase business volume.

Agfa Delano enables advertising companies, designers, copywriters, photographers, and prepress and print professionals to work together in a virtual workspace to define, assign, track, review, edit, and communicate in real time. Make all information about the project. Delano is based on an open digital workflow concept that supports all prepress and printing workflows, as well as the implementation of e-commerce.
