FlowOnline Designer is the newest feature of Applify FlowSuite's web-to-print module. With this tool it is possible to go online to design a publication with a professional layout. Applify set up the application for DmCards (http://www.dmcards.nl/) so that companies could go online to DmCards.nl to carry out all of their automated direct mail processes.

Applify is a technical leader in the automating of digital processes for graphics companies. Using the latest technologies, they expanded their web-to-print module with an advanced browser-based design tool. Clients from graphics media companies can design their own publications and then connect these with the specific workflow processes that FlowOnline provides. This allows graphics companies and their clients to gain substantial time and cost savings.

Working with Applify, DmCards developed an integrated mail solution for its retail branch. This allowed the whole direct mail process to be automated. Using the web portal, users can upload photos, add text, and choose colors. The low resolution preview on the screen lets you see your new customizations in real time. And with the help of templates, it's possible to guarantee that your company's style is maintained. After approval, the order can be sent directly to production. An uploaded address file can be merged with the project and can be managed through the FlowOnline application. The digital files arrive at DmCards, and the files are then produced, finalized for delivery, and mailed.

FlowOnline Designer gives graphics media company clients the opportunity to design their own commercial publications and send personalized mailings. So clients can control their communications themselves. The application was designed to be modular. Its flexibility allows it to accommodate a variety of uses. For example, the archive option allows you to re-use cards or brochures at a later date. You can also upload photos and save them in your archive folders.
