print industry solutions
Technique offers solutions through a complete set of modular applications that can be implemented as stand-alone products or as an integrated suite to meet the business requirements.

We provide modules that cover all stages of the print job administration, control and management. From the sales enquiry to estimate, planning and order management through to job costing and invoicing.

Print provides a unique challenge in these vital business areas being a special mix of service and manufacturing processes. Technique concentrates its products around these specialist areas whilst providing open interfaces to permit integration with other business systems such as pre-press, purchasing and accounts.

our approach - modular but integrated
The majority of software suppliers to printing companies concentrate on a fully integrated provision, often containing very weak modules that only scratch the surface in important areas. Technique believes that efficient handling of commercial print requires software applications that are as specific to the industry as the printing and finishing machines.

An example of this is the revolutionary Estimating application which does not use a traditional template based format.  Instead, Technique Estimating is a true expert system with full automatic route generation unlike any other system on the market.

Integration of the various software elements in the printer's MIS system is important. However, Technique gives the customer the choice of how much to integrate. We do not insist that customers use only Technique software modules. We believe that recent advances in software development allow a much broader range of choice. Customers do not have to throw away their favourite or vital software module, Technique will fully integrate with it.

Technique's philosophy is to offer the best software solutions in a modular fashion offering flexibility or full integration where necessary. The distinct advantage is the ability to offer point solutions where a client sees the greatest opportunity for improvement. This approach has enabled Technique to solve problems cost effectively with many very large print companies where other software providers have failed.

A staged approach to implementation is vital. It enables quicker returns on investment as well as making sure that both systems and culture change are manageable and successful.

The fresh easy to use interface in all Technique applications enables new users to quickly become familiar with the intuitive operation, further helping the important process of changing a way of working.

This leads to extraordinarily short pay back periods whilst also eliminating the risk to the client's business caused by an all at once implementation.
