Print business reporting automation pulls order, quote and production data from the storefront, pricing engine and MIS into one reporting store, and delivers scheduled reports on margin per product, quote-to-order conversion, reprint rate and on-time dispatch. Web2Print Solutions agrees each metric definition in writing with the client before any report is built.

Print business reporting automation replaces the monthly spreadsheet export with scheduled reports built on the print business's own data. Orders come from the storefront, quotes from the pricing engine or estimating tool, and job costs, reprints and dispatch dates from the MIS or production system. A pipeline copies them into one reporting store on a schedule, and the reports read from there.
The thesis of this page: most print reporting is wrong before it is late. Two managers can both say "margin" and mean different things, one before paper waste and one after, and a dashboard that hides the definition simply automates the argument. Web2Print Solutions starts with the definitions, agrees them in writing, and only then builds the pipeline and the reports.
We can build scheduled reporting on the client's own order, quote and production data. Metric definitions are agreed in writing; we publish no benchmark. Web2Print Solutions is the web-to-print engineering service of Netbase JSC. Delivery records cited on this site belong to Netbase JSC; where no delivered example of a capability is published, the page says so rather than implying a record. No reporting system delivered under the Web2Print Solutions name is published yet, and this page states no target or industry figure for any metric.
Storefront orders and line items; quotes with their status and timestamps; MIS jobs with estimated and actual costs, reprint flags and dispatch dates.
Scheduled, read-only extracts through each system's sanctioned interface. Timestamps are stored with their time zone offset, so a job dispatched late in the evening does not move day depending on where the report is read.
A relational store holds raw copies and a modelled layer where orders, quotes and jobs are joined on stable keys. Summary tables are refreshed after each load.
Scheduled reports go to named recipients, each showing the definition version, the data cut-off time and the row counts loaded.
Each run compares totals against the source systems, for example the order count for the day, and flags a mismatch instead of publishing a wrong figure.
The joins depend on the same keys an order-to-job integration uses. Where orders are still retyped into production, reporting inherits the errors, so print MIS and ERP integration or print production workflow automation often comes first. We can integrate a web-to-print front end with an existing MIS, ERP or production scheduler where that system exposes a sanctioned interface.

The table gives starting definitions for four common metrics. They are definitions only, not targets or benchmarks; the client edits and signs them off.
| Metric | Definition | Source fields | Common exclusions to decide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Margin per product | (Net sales value minus actual job cost) divided by net sales value, grouped by product family | Order line net value; MIS actual cost for material, labour, outsourcing and waste | Shipping charges, reprint costs, internal orders |
| Quote-to-order rate | Quotes that became paid orders within an agreed window, divided by quotes issued in the period | Quote id, issue date, status; order linked to the quote | Duplicate quotes for the same enquiry, test quotes |
| Reprint rate | Jobs that required a reprint, divided by jobs completed in the period, split by cause | MIS reprint flag, reprint reason code, original job id | Customer-requested reruns that are new sales |
| On-time dispatch | Jobs dispatched on or before the promised dispatch date, divided by jobs dispatched in the period | Promised dispatch date, actual dispatch timestamp | Jobs on hold at the buyer's request |
A worked example on one real product, a 250-copy A4 saddle-stitched booklet, shows why exclusions matter. The job sells, is printed, and a binding fault forces a reprint. If reprint cost is included in the product's margin, booklets look less profitable; if it is excluded, the cost appears only in the reprint rate. Both choices are defensible, but only one can be in the signed definition, and the report must say which.
Definitions change as the business changes, for example when outsourced finishing starts to be costed per job. Each definition carries a version number and an effective date. A change is a reviewed release: the new version applies from its effective date, earlier periods keep the version they were reported under, and any restated history is labelled as restated. A report that silently switches definitions mid-year makes the trend line meaningless, so every report prints the definition version it used.
Keeping the pipeline running after handover can move to managed print platform operations, which is a separate agreement. The default engagement is fixed-scope with written acceptance criteria and priced change control. Managed operations is a separate, opt-in agreement. Acceptance is a reconciliation: for an agreed past month, each report's figures are traced back to source records and match them.

Send a project brief with the reports you build by hand today, one recent month's export from the storefront and the MIS, the systems holding quotes and job costs, and the metrics your managers disagree about. Name the person who will sign the definitions.
No. No benchmark is published or supplied. Reports compare the business with its own history under one agreed definition.
No. Extracts are read-only. Mismatches are flagged to a named person, who corrects the source system.
The definition says so. Margin is then labelled as estimated margin until actual costs are captured.
On a schedule agreed in the scope, such as daily or weekly, and each report shows its data cut-off time.
Yes. Web2Print Solutions delivers remote-first from Hanoi, Vietnam, and Netbase JSC has delivered web-to-print projects for clients in 80+ countries.
