B/C / Stationery Creation & Ordering Systems
This powerful system will allow both organizations and printers to offer a highly customized online business card manufacturing solution to their staff or customers. Cyan 7 hosts this sophisticated customized application on your behalf and it will appear completely as your own branded web site.

Given the programming involved to automate this process, it is most economical to use this system in situations where there is a need for at least 100 cards per year.

There are 2 basic ways the system can operate :
Your (client's) employees can produce and order their own cards.
Your (client's) administrators can produce and order cards for anyone in the company.

A solution to a real world problem !
Interestingly enough, clients view business cards as relatively more important products than do printers. New or newly promoted employees want their cards immediately so they can get on with their new responsibilities. To a printer, however, a B/C order is not worth very much, rarely profitable, and almost always a nuisance at best and a threat to their client relationship at worst !

Almost all of this frustration for both parties revolves around the card creation and approval elements of the process. Business cards are very personal products and there is constant tension between the constraints of corporate ID standards and the whims of particular individuals who desire specific titles, degrees, nicknames, etc. on their cards. Very often, the printer is in the middle. Again, very often, the printer makes a single tiny error and proofs must be recycled again.

The solution is simple but has been elusive until now ! Let the client's administrator work directly with the user to create and approve a high quality PDF manufacturing master. The printer is no longer involved in the process until the client wishes to submit an order. Only then is an order processed that can then be manufactured in a highly automated fashion.

Offset, engraved, thermoengraved, demand printed !
Evidently, there are a wide variety of manufacturing methods employed in the production of business cards today. Our systems will deliver a superb quality 1 up or imposed PDF file that can be used for any conceivable situation. The PDF file can be B/W, 4 col. process, or simply an overprint to a preprinted master. The benefits of creating, proofing, and managing the cards are preserved across all production scenarios.

Superb flexibility yet end to end automation !
The real strength of our system lies in its adaptability and flexibility to any particular set of requirements. Each client has an almost unique set of needs regarding the efficient processing of their business card requirements.

Using our own internally developed components, we are able to quickly and economically tailor a system for a client. Likewise, we are able to respond to any changes that may be required of an already deployed system. There is no cookie cutter approach whereby we attempt to shoehorn a client into a rigid and inflexible set of workflows. Our model of flexible and responsive programming truly distinguishes our systems and has garnered very high praise from our clients.
