PressWise FAQs

What is the average startup cost?

$9,395

What is the average time to implement?

The goal is to have you generating estimates, quotes and orders within 6 weeks of deployment. On-boarding starts even before you touch your system. From experience, we recognized that an empty MIS system equates to a longer set-up time, so we’ve pre-loaded PressWise with product templates, finishing tasks, presses – even pricing, so you can explore and get to know the system from day one while implementing with our team. Implementation of any MIS system depends on the number of papers, presses, products, and estimating tasks, etc.. Customer accounts, contacts, paper, price tables and other miscellaneous files can be imported into PressWise to rapidly increase set-up timelines.
