The Essex-based business literature and stationery printer chose Shuttleworth's system because of the software developer's flexible approach.

"Shuttleworth customised the software to our exacting needs," said operations manager Adam Wilson-Bowen. "This adaptability was essential."

The 15-year-old company said it hoped to increase the amount of work it can produce per 24-hour period as a result of efficiency savings enabled by the MIS.

"As well as the entire production process becoming faster, the time it takes to respond to existing and potential clients is decreased," said Wilson-Bowen.

Northamptonshire-based Shuttleworth has more than 500 active installs of its MIS in the print and packaging industries.

The Shuttleworth MIS features e-commerce capability, native JDF/JMF support, an estimating suite and CRM.
