Switch 18

Switch is a modular software solution that integrates with existing systems and drives 3rd party applications to speed up job processing, reduce errors, and automate repetitive tasks. Automating tasks with Switch frees up your staff’s time so they can focus on new revenue-generating activities.

Switch eliminates the need for people to perform repetitive tasks associated with receiving and sorting files.

It automatically downloads files from one or more FTP servers, receives them as email attachments, or handles hot folders. It then sorts files into different folders or transmits them to the appropriate destination in a flexible manner, so that each is ready for processing or archiving.

What you decide to have Switch do, beyond these simple functions, is up to you. For example, you can have Switch send notification emails to your customer service representatives or even directly back to clients, whenever needed. Switch enables automation and integration of 3rd party application used in the graphic arts industry as well as MIS, DAM, Web-to-Print and databases. It also enables seamless integration for the Enfocus PitStop Server and PitStop Connect.

Switch is a reliable solution, even in demanding environments. Scalability and intelligence can be improved with optional scripting, database & metadata modules.
