Production specific features & workflow

From RFQ to turnaround time — 22 stages, one system.

This is the general production process Smart Press models end to end. The detailed screens that monitor each of these stages are listed further down the page.

This is only an overview of a general production process. Our versatile production framework can be modified to suit your production process. Below are the detailed options that monitor each of the stages above.

Job cards for

Whatever you print, it has a job card.

Not one generic “production entry” forced to fit every product. Smart Press ships a dedicated job card for each thing a press actually makes — with the parameters that product needs.

Beyond job cards

The parts of a press nobody else models.

Generic ERP stops at “production”. A press runs on quality certificates, re-usable dies and cylinders, machine idle time and sheet-size maths. Smart Press has screens for all of it.

Quality Control

Testing built into the job, not filed in a separate register — so the certificate leaves with the goods.

  • Print Water Testing & Standards
  • Paper & Board Testing
  • Certificate Of Analysis
  • QC Instruments

Re-Usable Items

Dies, cylinders, plates and tooling tracked through their whole life — ordered, issued, returned, repeat-ordered, discarded.

  • Order, Receipt & Repeat Order
  • Issue For Usage / Receipt After Usage
  • Discard Item
  • Re-Usable At A Glance

Machine Intelligence

Where the shift actually went — scheduling, settings, maintenance, idle time and the capacity that quietly eats your margin.

  • Machine Scheduling & Settings
  • Machine Maintenance
  • Machine Idle Time
  • Duty Allocation
  • Pre-Press Overview

Costing & Sheet Maths

Quote from real numbers. Best sheet size and cost estimate worked out before you commit to the order.

  • Product Costing
  • Mono Sheet & Costing
  • Mono Best Sheet Size
  • Mono Cost Estimate
  • Daily Rate Sheet

QR & Paper Control

Paper is your biggest input. Issue it by scan, book it against the job, and see the paper report the same day.

  • Paper Issue & Paper Issue (QR)
  • QR Scan & Generate QR Codes
  • MR Slip & Material Issue
  • Paper Report

Owner’s Dashboard

The buyer’s PO at a glance, ageing, turnaround time, PO vs actual dispatch — the numbers you currently chase people for.

  • Buyer PO At A Glance
  • PO Life Cycle & Ageing Analysis
  • PO VS Actual Dispatch
  • Dash Board

The Smart Press menu

Every press screen, in full.

The complete Smart Press menu structure, exactly as it appears in the module — Transactions, Quality Control, Re-Usable Items, Masters, Ledgers and Reports. Search it, or filter to the part you want to see on your demo call.

No screen matches that search.

Try a shorter word — or ask us on the demo call. The press module is customisable to how your plant runs.

Smart Press sits on the same core as Accounts, Purchase, Inventory, JobWork, Sales and HR — so a job card issued on the floor lands in the balance sheet without anyone re-keying it.
Good to know

Frequently asked.

Yes. Smart Press ships a separate job card for each product type — monocartons, corrugation, leaflets, labels, stickers, aluminium foil, sealing and books — along with the costing and sheet-size screens each one needs. You use the ones your plant runs.

Yes. The 22-stage flow above is a general production process, not a fixed template. The production framework is versatile and is modified to suit your stages, your machine list and your approval points during implementation.

No — it’s a microservice on the same core. Paper issued to a job hits inventory, the invoice hits sales and accounts, and duty allocation hits HR. One structure, no bridge files, no re-entry.

Each job card carries a QR code, so its movement through reel cutting, printing, lamination, die cutting and pasting is scanned rather than written down. Paper is issued against the job by scan too, so consumption books to the right job card as it leaves the godown and the paper report reflects it the same day.

Yes. True ERP is built around head office–branch control, so each plant runs its own presses and job cards while head office sees consolidated, branch-wise and state-wise stock, P&L and Balance Sheet, with inter-branch reconciliation running automatically.

Pricing depends on your structure — number of plants, machines, modules and users. A press with no customisation is in ready-to-use mode; earlier data migration typically takes 2–3 days and the ERP need not wait for it.

Bring us one buyer order. We’ll run it end to end.

Free demo — we’ll take a real order from your press through RFQ, costing, planning, job card, paper issue, QC and invoice on the exact screens above.
