Profectus software selection advisory service is designed to help organizations thoroughly and quickly investigate all of the potential software products to find the solution that best fits their needs of the organization. This is typically accomplished in a three phase approach.

Using our proven software selection approach, the entire process only takes between 8 and 12 weeks to thoroughly narrow down a list of over 150 products to a single “Best Fit” solution for your organization.

During the first phase a senior consultant comes to your facility, works with your team to define your company’s requirements, benchmarks your requirements against over 130 systems, identifies a short list of 4-8 fitting products, prepares software demonstration scripts, and creates a system Request For Proposal to send to the vendors. Detail Requirements - Your requirements are an important benchmark for measuring the capabilities of each product against your needs. A senior consultant works with your selection team to identify and prioritize what is required by your organization based on your current and future business needs. To speed up the process, we reference our proprietary checklist of over 1,500 functions and requirements available in systems.   Hardware Internet e-Commerce Web-To-Print CRM Sales Estimating Pricing Order Entry Change Orders Scheduling Production Job Tracking Shop Data Collection CIM/JDF Shipping Purchasing Raw Inventory Finished Inventory Job Costing Billing/Invoicing Benchmarks & Reports Accounts Receivable Accounts Payable General Ledger Payroll Fixed Assets EDI/XML   Search for Best-Fit Solution - Profectus maintains the printing industry most extensive product database of over 150 printing industry management systems and their thousands of functions, compiled from over 25 years of research and surveys.
