“The reason we chose DP was because it’s an industry solution which solves many of the problems we had in the standard Microsoft Dynamics setup. Also, there was demand from the management to have final costing, which was also a major challenge in the standard Dynamics solution.
DynamicsPrint® also helps us greatly with scheduling and shop floor management. The data gathered gives us great insights, and results in a much more cost-efficient production.”

A recent article from Propago makes an important observation about the state of the web-to-print industry. While online storefronts have become highly sophisticated, many print operations still experience significant manual processes the moment an order is placed.
For years, the industry’s focus has been on improving the customer buying experience. Online ordering, brand portals, template-driven personalization, proofing workflows, and automated approvals have transformed how customers submit print jobs. Those innovations have created tremendous value and are now considered standard capabilities.
However, as the article points out, the real operational challenges often begin after checkout.
The Hidden Gap in Print Automation
Many organizations continue to rely on multiple disconnected systems to manage inventory, warehouse operations, fulfillment, production planning, and reporting.
Orders captured through an online storefront may still require:
These manual handoffs introduce delays, increase the risk of errors, and limit the scalability that automation is supposed to deliver.
For enterprise print providers managing branded storefronts, marketing collateral, fulfillment programs, or multi-location distribution, these challenges become increasingly costly.
Enterprise Customers Expect More Than Online Ordering
Today’s enterprise customers aren’t simply purchasing printed products.
They’re investing in long-term print and fulfillment programs that require inventory management, warehouse visibility, replenishment, production scheduling, and detailed reporting.
Whether supporting hundreds of retail locations, franchise networks, healthcare organizations, manufacturers, or government agencies, customers expect complete transparency across the entire supply chain, not just at the point of order.
The customer experience doesn’t end when an order is submitted.
It continues through production, inventory management, fulfillment, delivery, and reporting.
Why ERP Plays a Critical Role
This is where a purpose-built ERP solution becomes essential.
Rather than treating inventory, production, fulfillment, and warehouse management as separate applications connected through multiple integrations, DynamicsPrint® provides an end-to-end operational platform designed specifically for the printing and packaging industry.
Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management, DynamicsPrint® connects:
All departments work from the same real-time data, eliminating duplicate data entry while providing complete visibility across the organization.
One Platform Instead of Multiple Handoffs
A fully integrated ERP enables organizations to automate far more than order capture.
With DynamicsPrint®, inventory levels update automatically, warehouse operations become part of the same workflow, production scheduling is connected directly to incoming orders, and shop floor reporting provides live operational visibility. Advanced analytics help management monitor performance while supporting better business decisions through real-time insights.
The result is fewer manual processes, improved operational efficiency, greater accuracy, and faster response times for customers.
Organizations using DynamicsPrint® consistently report significant productivity improvements, with many reducing the time and effort required for common business tasks by up to 50%.
Looking Beyond the Storefront
The discussion raised by Propago reflects an important shift in the printing industry.
The next competitive advantage will not come from building another storefront with slightly better user experience.
It will come from connecting the entire order-to-fulfillment process into one intelligent operational platform.
As enterprise customers continue demanding greater visibility, faster fulfillment, and more efficient supply chains, printers need technology that extends automation beyond the order itself.
At DynamicsPrint®, we’ve always believed that operational excellence comes from connecting every stage of the print workflow. From quotation through production, inventory, warehouse management, fulfillment, shipping, and business analytics, in a single ERP platform built specifically for our industry.
