Taking the Job Ticket Digital

What else is out there?

An open architecture solution, Hagen OA combines the electronic production ticket with shop floor data collection, scheduling and alteration information. As employees begin work on a print job, they are notified of any alteration or production notes related to that specific job. "Hagen provides a high degree of flexibility with its electronic job ticket options," reports Mike Johnson, production modules product manager. "We provide access to vital job planning data through our job specifications display, in which job specs updated during the estimate merge with override and manual-entry options in the job data screen. Hagen also provides clients with 'free' fields—a user-defined field embedded in the job tracking screens, which allow the client to define optional or required data elements for use during the production process."
