– Jacob Meier, Pre-press / Automation Specialist SuperGraphics
“Print Geek approached Significans Automation a few years ago with a unique prepress automation challenge that the business was struggling with. Within a few months of development, Significans created a fully automated, turnkey solution that helped build the foundation of what now is a successful web to print business. We can now process thousands of unique jobs per day with minimal hands-on interaction, which has minimized human errors and increased our profitability.”
– Dan Neto, President Print Geek
“As a large format Print Service Provider focused on customized graphics, Significans played an instrumental role in helping us automate our Preflighting workflows. The project continues to deliver very strong ROI. The workflows have made us significantly faster, and allowed our team to focus on high-value work for our clients. Significans not only structured the overall approach but taught our team how to configure, allowing us to manage and innovate our processes on an ongoing basis.”
– Brendan Howard, President Category 5
“Significans Automation has been more than a vendor – they have been a true partner for Boingo Graphics. They helped take our underutilized Automation Engine prepress workflow software, and customize it so that it is integrated into our business. We now have an optimized software investment that helps us service our customers in a very unique and fast way.”
– Scott Nowokunski, President Boingo Graphics
“Significans Automation helped us adopt and integrate the Esko WebCenter Project Management System thereby creating a more efficient and profitable workflow for our company. They customized the software precisely to our digital needs. We are now able to process our orders more efficiently with fewer errors, increasing our capacity by 30% year over year.”
– Greg Wright, President & CEO Wright Global Graphics
“ESKO WebCenter and Automation Engine are some of the best software solutions in the industry. Significans takes this to a new level! We can now get a job on our printer 60% faster than we used to, making our automation a reality!”
– Jim Hawton, Director of IT & Design Bay Cities
“When only understanding the tip of the iceberg of WebCenter’s capabilities, one can draw your own conclusions as to what kind of possibilities this software can bring to you. You get a picture in your head of how, and what you want it to do, no – NEED it to do. You sketch out a plan, you gather some research, and you present your proposal. Once you have received approval, now the work begins.
Significans Automation was amazing in bringing this plan to life. Constantly bombarding them with directive scenarios that all began with, “I need it to do…” Not one time did I get a response of, “it can’t do that.” Significans Automation brought the plan to life, as well as honed our staff to be self-monitoring and self-sufficient in creating new programming for future expansion. Significans Automation had partnered with us to help us succeed, and with an agile implementation, we were able to stick to our timeline and meet all our goals and objectives. Significans Automation is definitely an organization to recommend.”
– Joe Lydic, Art Director ProAmpac
“Significans Automation took the time to study our needs and previous workflow to put together a package that has impacted our bottom line. They exceeded our expectations and have helped us to produce higher quality work, decrease lead times, reduce errors all without having to hire more Prepress Employees. Significans built on to our existing workflows to include more automation, which cut the time spent preparing graphics and proofing by 50%. Significans continues to be an excellent source for troubleshooting issues, implementing more automation, and improving quality and turnaround. We look forward to continuing to do work with the Significans team.”
– Neil Waldrop, COO/Owner Century Printing and Packaging
“I’d say our production capacity has tripled based on the innovations and improvements Significans has made. Every time they automated something for us, it was like finding money in our pocket.”
– Ben Nell, President of HCL Labels
“Significans Automation helped us automate the work that no one wanted to do so that we could help our clients do more creative work in higher volumes with fewer people. With the right kind of automation, even smaller print facilities like ours benefit tremendously.”
– Leiman Chan, Chief Executive Officer at Nonstop Printing
“Our team took the Advancements to Workflow Management training course from Significans Automation in 2023. The course was well presented, easy to understand and valuable for all. I would highly recommend this program to any company looking to foster teamwork and increase productivity.”
– Stacey Turner, Prepress Manager ArtCraft Label Inc.
“Customized Turbo Switch Packs from Significans allowed us to produce more work, much faster and more accurately, using fewer staff and our existing equipment,” said Cook. “Best of all, it took just over one month to begin recouping our original investment and we expect our efficiencies to balloon to over 300% in the months to come. Plus, our proofing system is now fully automated (another 30% increase in efficiency) . Allegra Bozeman is now leading the pack among the Franchise members in the implementation of automated workflows and they are just getting started. Bottom line: Today – and this may not sound very eloquent – Significans Automation’s tagline should basically be: they ‘eat automation, and crap-out inefficiencies’,” Cook added, with a modest smile.
– Matt Cook, CEO of Allegra Printing in Bozeman, Montana
“We’ve found that working with an automation expert like Significancs can also drastically reduce integration times. Plus, the extra costs of using an integration partner are quickly recouped with workflows that are more functional and future proof. It’s a great way to get the up-front thinking done faster, so that fewer mistakes occur when building out our workflows. The Significans team has always been there to help our development team with some of the ‘heavier lifting’ when customization is required. They’re a great partner, and we can now integrate our customers much faster in addition to the cost savings that customized automation brings.”
– Dan Thompson, Founder and CEO of Italic Press
“We started to see tangible, measurable results in about a month or two,” Guice pointed out. “Plus, we can do so much more with the staff and equipment we already have. I’m estimating that we’ll recover our original investment in about 90 days – and the future looks bright. For us, the Significans Automation team has been instrumental in our success. Today, we see them as an extension of Team Wallace, and look forward to working together in the future.”
– Anthony Guice, Director of Technical Operations at Wallace Graphics
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrew from Significans, and I can confidently say that his expertise and professionalism were crucial to the success of my project. This was a large and complex endeavor involving the integration of three distinct technologies, and I couldn’t have completed it without his support.
Andrew’s skill with Enfocus Switch was particularly valuable. He expertly guided me through the integration, making sure everything functioned seamlessly. Throughout the project, Andrew was professional, honest, and always willing to collaborate with both me and my client to ensure we achieved the desired outcome. His ability to work efficiently and communicate clearly made a real difference, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
I would highly recommend Significans, as well as Andrew, for anyone needing reliable and knowledgeable technical support.
