HiFlow and Hybrid Software link MIS to pre-press

HiFlow Solutions and Hybrid Software have announced an integration connecting HiFlow's packaging ERP platform with Hybrid Software's pre-press environment, enabling job specifications to flow automatically from estimating and order entry into pre-press without manual data transfer.

In many packaging operations, estimating and pre-press run on disconnected systems, requiring duplicate data entry and increasing the risk of errors when jobs move between departments. The integration allows substrate, die line, color and structural parameters approved in HiFlow to pass directly into the Hybrid pre-press workflow, reducing transcription errors and accelerating job setup.

'Packaging manufacturers are under increasing pressure to move faster without sacrificing accuracy,' said Mariusz Sosnowski, CEO of HiFlow Solutions. 'This integration connects two critical parts of the workflow, business systems and prepress, so our customers can eliminate friction, reduce errors and respond to production demands with greater confidence.'

'Our open architecture makes it straightforward to integrate business systems like HiFlow Solutions, allowing data to move fluently into production workflows and helping converters simplify operations, improve efficiency and scale with confidence,' noted Nick De Roeck, CTO of Hybrid Software.
