Durst Group, manufacturer of advanced digital printing and production technologies, proudly announces that Forge Graphic Works has become the 1,000th customer to install Durst Workflow software. This milestone, celebrated in May 2024, marks a significant achievement for Durst Group, highlighting its rapid growth and dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions to the printing industry. Forge Graphics, renowned for its innovative and high-quality graphic solutions, joins a distinguished list of customers benefiting from Durst Workflow's advanced capabilities.
Based in Portland, Oregon, USA, Forge Graphic Works has a team of design and print experts specializing in large format printing and graphic manufacturing, installation, and fulfilment services for retail, events, interiors, and experiential marketing programs. The company operates as a hybrid of design agency, printer, and fabrication shop, focusing on quality and long-term relationships by designing with efficiency in mind from the start.
Previously utilizing a third-party RIP, Forge Graphic Works found the process labor-intensive with limited automation, often leading to errors.
Todd Ebersole, Strategy Director of Forge Graphics explains. “We wanted a more advanced workflow solution with integration in other parts of our business-like scheduling, pricing, and automation of common tasks that save us time and prevent re-work.”
At the Printing United trade show, they discovered Durst Workflow and Durst Lift ERP. Impressed by a vendor partner's success with these solutions, Forge Graphic Works was particularly drawn to the vertical integration with Lift ERP and key modules within Durst Workflow, such as Verification, Impose Editor, and PDF Proof Approval. Configurable as an all-in-one solution integrated with Lift ERP, Durst Workflow proved particularly attractive, providing a single point of contact for implementation, training, and troubleshooting.
Forge Graphic Works operates several printing systems from different vendors, all of which will be driven by Durst Workflow. The new software system, combining Durst Workflow and Durst Lift ERP, will allow them to efficiently and visually plan jobs and production schedules, make quick adjustments to maximize throughput and minimize downtime, and provide detailed analysis of the impact of rush jobs or shifts in customer deadlines. Additionally, real-time feedback on job costing on a per-project level will reduce purchasing labor, ensuring materials and special-order items are sourced quickly and efficiently.
Michael Deflorian, Business Unit Manager, Software & Solutions at Durst Group, adds, “We are thrilled to welcome Forge Graphic Works as our 1,000th Durst Workflow customer. This milestone underscores the significant impact our solutions have on industry. We are committed to delivering integrated, user-friendly solutions that drive efficiency and profitability for our customers, and we look forward to supporting Forge Graphic Works in their continued growth and innovation.”
