A new production print platform has been launched by Global software platform for local on-demand production, Gelato.
Connecting procurement, workflow, and logistics to optimise printers’ efficiency, quality, and profitability, GelatoConnect is already enabling over 100 printers worldwide to produce on-demand products.
As e-commerce and personalisation demand continues to boom and the average print run decreases significantly, GelatoConnect is said to “empower makers to integrate with e-commerce creators from all over the world”.
Chief executive officer of ESP Color, Simon Smogur says GelatoConnect enables his machines to seamlessly integrate into one intuitive application, providing real-time insights into equipment, packaging, and carrier performance.
“Gelato’s software is poised to redefine our industry,” he says, adding: “I’m witnessing tangible improvements in our production efficiencies and cost base in real time.”
According to McKinsey and Company, GelatoConnect provides a 3-7 percentage point increase in profitability for print producers by removing operational inefficiencies, improving procurement, reducing excess inventory, and optimising shipping solutions.
Henrik Muller-Hansen, founder and chief executive officer of Gelato, says: “Gelato envisions a future where on-demand makers lead the way in providing every consumer access to personalised goods created locally.
“For the last 15 years, we’ve collaborated closely with trailblazing production partners and global machine vendors to develop a marketplace that empowers makers to support e-commerce creators around the globe.”
Muller-Hansen continues: “With local on-demand production, we fuel growth in the digital print industry. By working together with our production partners, we can transform the way our world produces.”
Having been tested and validated by early-access VIP partners, GelatoConnect will be launched fully at drupa.
