The market for managing production and e-commerce capabilities with one software system isn't limited to larger printers. In a set of recent case studies, CRC profiled numerous graphic arts firms—ranging from $2.5 million to over $100 million in sales—employing production software. Based on study findings, Forbes points out, "While the need for automated information management is certainly more exaggerated in larger shops, smaller companies tend to see more immediate benefits [from implementing software systems]." Forbes notes one CRC customer grew from $1.5 million in sales to $3 million while reducing staff by 30 percent.
