What products does Printable offer?

FusionPro Web - a turnkey hosted document ecommerce and web to print system, consisting of three modules -- Store, Dashboard, and Manager:

Store - A Store is the ordering portal for FusionPro Web where end-users access and order from their catalog of print on demand, inventoried, and customizable collateral products. With the Store’s user rights management system, end-users only have access to the collateral products important to them, and their user experience can be completely customized. When modifying collateral or launching direct marketing campaigns, a user’s personal information can be incorporated automatically and access control manages the type of data or functionality made available.

With integrated e-commerce capabilities, including support for credit card, P-card, spending accounts (user budgets, marketing co-op budgets, etc.) and purchase orders, orders may be submitted directly or enter into an optional purchase approval workflow. Integration with third-party procurement systems such as Ariba, Ketera, Oracle Exchange, SAP, and more, the FusionPro Web Store becomes a key link in an enterprise supply-chain management workflow.

Dashboard - The Dashboard is the service provider’s portal into FusionPro Web. On the Dashboard, suppliers access orders to be fulfilled and follow them through the fulfillment cycle, from New Orders, through Job Ticketing, Shipping, and on to Invoicing or credit card settlement. For print orders, integrated imposition options allow for generation of press-ready output files of any format. With optional integrations with digital print workflows, jobs are sent directly to press, ready to be produced, finished, and delivered. A sophisticated reporting engine puts transactional and fulfillment data at your fingertips, and a full suite of data feeds and web services make integrations with print MIS systems and inventory management systems straightforward.
