Crowson Stone Printing--Not A Stone Age Printer

When the Programmed Solutions system was installed, so was Microsoft Office, and the entire office and sales staff received Windows training. Also, the company maintains its own Website to disseminate information to, and receive files from, creative professionals.

Estimators prepare most estimates using the Programmed Solutions system. "The system provides tools to assist in pricing and generating quote letters," deLoach explains. "When an estimate is prepared using the system, it is reviewed only if the size of the job exceeds a preset limit.
