With pressure to lower costs, increase profits, and retain customer bases, package printers look to business production software to organize workflow.

Display Pack of Grand Rapids, Mich., was among those looking for a better way to streamline processes and exchange information. Its custom-developed business management system lacked strong estimation and business integration, and the means to provide financial information. Display Pack began using Radius Solutions’ PECAS Vision II, an enterprise resource planning system that provides estimating and scheduling, material control, customer service, job processing, financial reports and inventory management. The system, which can be integrated across various plants, is geared toward companies printing roll and sheet labels, folding cartons, and flexible packaging.
