Drawing from decades of print industry expertise, eLynxx Solutions has created a comprehensive platform that addresses the complex needs of print brokerage businesses, offering an unmatched suite of tools to streamline operations and boost profitability.
Streamlined Quote Management
At the heart of any print brokerage operation lies the critical process of quote management. Drawing from deep industry understanding, PrintGizmo transforms complex pricing calculations into a seamless workflow enabling brokers to generate accurate quotes within minutes rather than hours.
The system’s ability to maintain relationships with multiple vendors and automatically compare their pricing ensures that brokers can consistently offer competitive rates while maintaining healthy profit margins. This feature alone has helped many brokers increase their quote-to-order conversion rates by up to +40%.
Vendor Relationship Management
PrintGizmo’s vendor management system sets new standards in the industry. The platform maintains detailed profiles of each printing partner, including their capabilities, pricing structures, and performance history. This comprehensive approach enables brokers to make informed decisions when matching projects with vendors, ensuring optimal client results.
The software’s vendor rating system tracks key performance indicators such as on-time delivery, done right, average production days and communication responsiveness. This data-driven approach helps brokers maintain high service standards and build stronger relationships with reliable partners.
Project Tracking and Workflow Automation
One of PrintGizmo’s most powerful features is its end-to-end project tracking capability. From initial client contact through to delivery and invoicing, the software provides real-time visibility into every stage of the print production process. The automated workflow system includes proven features such as customizable milestone tracking, automated status updates to clients, production schedule management, quality control checkpoints, and delivery coordination.
This level of automation reduces manual intervention, minimizes errors, and ensures consistent project execution across all orders. The workflow design reflects years of industry experience and best practices from our clients and our knowledge, making it both powerful and practical for daily use.
Client Management and CRM Integration
Understanding that client relationships are crucial in the print brokerage business, PrintGizmo offers robust CRM functionality that goes beyond basic contact management. The system maintains detailed client histories, including previous orders, preferences, and communication logs. This comprehensive approach helps brokers provide personalized service and identify new business opportunities.
The software’s client dashboard or storefront feature enables customers to track their orders, approve proofs, and access previous project details independently. This self-service capability not only improves client satisfaction but also reduces the administrative burden on brokers.
Financial Management and Reporting
PrintGizmo’s financial management capabilities provide brokers with powerful tools to maintain healthy business operations. The software offers sophisticated features including real-time profit margin tracking, automated invoicing and expense management, commission calculation, and detailed financial reporting.
The system’s ability to generate comprehensive financial reports helps brokers make data-driven decisions about their business strategy and identify areas for improvement. These reports incorporate industry-standard metrics and benchmarks that help businesses measure their performance against established best practices.
Cloud-Based Architecture
PrintGizmo’s cloud-based architecture offers several advantages over traditional software installations. Users can access the system from any location, facilitating remote work and improved collaboration. The cloud architecture ensures automatic updates and feature improvements, robust data security and backup, scalability to accommodate business growth, and reduced IT infrastructure costs.
Integration Capabilities
The software’s open API architecture enables seamless integration with other business-critical systems, including accounting software, shipping and logistics platforms, marketing automation tools, e-commerce platforms, and design software. These integration capabilities help brokers create a unified business ecosystem that enhances efficiency and reduces data entry errors.
Comprehensive Support and Training
