E-Commerce

Want to make your life easier? Talk to us about workflow automation.

E-commerce is how the world gets work done today. Hodgins Engraving has been a leader in developing e-commerce and systems integration. It allows us to do what we do best, produce print, while automating the tasks of order management. By automating workflow we dramatically reduce the possibility of introducing errors into the process. Typically the end user who enters the order has the correct information. With workflow automation, no one else touches that original order data; it just gets moved where it is needed. The result is efficient workflow, the right product in the right place at the right time.

Our production process involves direct imaging using a Macintosh network. Offset print jobs are imaged direct to plate, other print processes that require dies are imaged to film, or the file may be sent directly to a laser engraver or computer operated milling machine to produce the dies.
