The Challenge

Nomad's complex operations requires coordination of hundreds of concurrent printing jobs, consisting of many dependent processes run by multiple technicians and sophisticated printers in multiple locations. Nomad's business needs sophisticated tools to manage and track every aspect of their business, and their success depends on quick turnaround without sacrificing quality.

Nomad's existing software did not integrate every aspect of their business or efficiently manage jobs. Ultimately, their system could not prevent untimely delays, production errors, and unnecessary dependencies in their production cycle.

The Solution

ECPGroup offered Nomad a customized software solution that could control their production cycle, manage jobs and machine inventories, control workflow, eliminate redundant production and provide sophisticated tools to track job progress and status.

ECPGroup's Web-based solution provides a facility for every critical aspect of Nomad's production cycle. From printer inventory management, color testing, production, quality assurance, shipping, and sales, the application gives managers finite control over their business in real time.

Job scheduling and user management are achieved through a sophisticated yet easy to use workflow process design specifically for Nomads control process. Orders are assigned to workers and the progress monitored at any stage of production.

These workflow tools also streamline the production process by eliminating printing dependencies and creating an asynchronous printing cycle. The production cycle shortens and efficiency increases.

ECPGroup's solution allows Nomad to reuse images on multiple layouts dynamically, storing image data and re-purposing it for additional or different jobs.

Finally, the reporting and tracking tools give Nomad's managers data to accurately forecast job completion with real-time production data. This improves relationship with customers and increased the capacity at their plants.
