Dublin based Finishing House selects Optimus dash as their new MIS

Dublin based Finishing House PMG Laminating selects Optimus dash as their new MIS solution – press release November 2011

Optimus have been providing MIS software solutions for the Irish & UK Printing communities for nearly 30 years now.  Since the launch of Optimus dash at IPEX 2010, the worldwide install base has grown significantly; as customers have been provided with much greater flexibility to accommodate the needs of print businesses across all sectors, and this now includes Print Finishing Houses.

PMG Laminating were looking for a system to automate many of the manual administrative processes in the generation of quotes, booking in of jobs, printing job bags, raising purchase orders and generating invoices.  This was not only to increase efficiency and accuracy of the data, but also to provide the essential management information that is imperative to the success of any company, large or small.

Patrick McGann, PMG Laminating Managing Director states: “We looked at the MIS vendors and having shortlisted two we decided to choose Optimus for two key reasons. Firstly the Optimus dash product was demonstrated to us using our business logic and way of working that made good sense to us; there was no compromise or workaround for us to have to navigate, which we had found with other MIS systems! So we could see very early in the sales process, that Optimus dash could accommodate our very specific business needs and at a very competitive price. Secondly we felt that the personable approach of the experienced sales team and the sales process was indicative of the long term partnership attitude Optimus has to its customers.”

PMG Laminating has been trading since 2006 and started in a 1200sq ft unit with just one laminating machine. They are now sharing premises in Kylemore Park South, Ballyfermot, Dublin with P2 Finishing who provide Die Cutting and gluing services. PMG provide an extensive range of services for large and small companies based in Dublin and throughout the whole of Ireland including:

• Water based film lamination
• Spot UV Varnishing – with full stencil making facilities in house
• Foil Blocking
• Die Cutting and B1 Hand Platen
• Gluing for presentation folders, CD Wallets, Key Card Holders and various styles of cartons

Optimus Business Manager, Sharon Mordey states: “It was a pleasure to help find the right solution for PMG Laminating as the whole team will benefit enormously on a day to day basis using the Optimus MIS. Optimus dash was a clear product choice due to the flexibility of the Optimus Calc engine and the highly configurable nature of the Optimus dash enquiry system to accommodate only the specific business needs of PMG as a finishing house only. I am very excited to be working with the team at PMG during this implementation project and ongoing long into the future.”
