It was a little painful for the first 3- 6 months but once the system is understood--its very powerful and efficient.

Pros

Very efficient system when learning curve is completed. It still presents challenges even if system is understood.

Cons

Learning curve is long and because I was not trained--and had to teach myself, I had to ask a lot of questions in the first few months. Still run into challenges but the Avanti staff have always been there for support and 95% of the time the issues are resolved. Takes time to understand all the modules and move through them easily. Find there is a lot trial and error. Never was able to get answer on why jobs when closed and shipped still appear on my job list. I don't understand why I can't take them off my job list somewhere in Avanti so they don't appear on my job list excel file.

It was fun and awesome to see it all work, but super stressful and tiresome to set it all up.

Pros

It is very detailed. And has a lot of info that can be stored and potentially used to help complete the job

Cons

Because there is soo much details and minute info, it became a huge project to simply set it up. There is simply too many things to set up. Things that regular employees at a printshop wouldn't know how to set up.

Pros

It seemed to have everything we needed. Integration with current software, job review and scheduling, able to capture time and materials. Gave us budgeted cost vs. actual cost. Many other features that we not intended to be used, but may be implemented in phase 2 or 3 of configuration.

Cons

LOTS of things could be improved! This suggestion would be a major overhaul, but here it is; instead of multiple modules/screens to go to to evaluate ONE job - why not go to ONE job and see (or have access to) the other modules from within that record. I hate having to jump around from module to module to find information or take action in some way.

We are in a pretty good place now, however, the beginning was rough after going live. We felt like the product was too new and had endless bugs to work through.

Pros

the potential to be the top application in the market. I like that you can run it in any browser.

Cons

I like in our previous MIS that we could clean, purge, archive and manage the data to keep the server running better. We would like to use change orders one day. The full connectivity to accounting is not there yet. It needs some levels or options to be considered by the customer. The one option that we were presented required a completely new philosophy that didn't work for us.

Pros

Once I got used to the technical language used and how to navigate around, it became a pretty efficient tool. Glitches occur, as with any software, but are fairly seldom.

Cons

It seems that the developers were likely not every day users. The technical terms used and the steps taken to complete tasks aren’t the most intuitive. Also, sometimes it seems that more steps than necessary are involved in certain tasks, such as shipping.

On boarding the newer MIS system was a large undertaking culturally. Avanti was able to provide the necessary training and resources both onsite and offsite.

Pros

Modular based and scaleable which helps internally adoption rates. Software is evolving rapidly and is always bringing new features and functions to the systems. Adoption of these features helps us streamline business processes and production tasks which show on the bottom line

Cons

Estimating layouts and modeling would benefit from AI in the future. Slingshot job tickets can be overwhelming in the amount of information provided to production.

After a number of years evaluating various MIS for our business, the Avanti Slingshot was chosen as it best suited our needs. It helped us streamline our processes and positioned us for further growth. It eliminated hours of administrative work enabling us to focus our customers needs.

Pros

The system is very user-friendly. The team of experts and developers are always willing to listen to suggestions and continue to enhance the product. In recent years the updates and additions have become more frequent which is a plus. The User Conference is an event not to be missed.

Cons

Like any other software, it does not suffice to all our needs. However I would not categorize it as a negative. It hard to please every user.

Pros

Classic is a very user-friendly and robust system. I like the way Avanti continues to take input and upgrade their product. I just went to their User Group Conference where Avanti users and developers all came away with a lot of great ideas to better use and improve the system. The whole team at Avanti is excellent to work with and they really make working with them a valued partnership.

Cons

There are always potential drawbacks to software but at the moment my system is very stable and robust.

Slingshot, and the Avanti professional services, redefined many of the ways we run our business so that we’re more profitable and positioned for growth.

Pros

Avanti helped us refine our processes, helped us reduce waste, reduce operator downtime, and accurately price our products. We’re now more efficient in just about every aspect of our shop and we expect the integration with XMPie will help expand our business.

Cons

Like any good product, it takes time to get things perfect. And time is hard to come by. Not a 'con' rather more a reality.

Reasons for choosing Avanti Slingshot Print MIS

We determined Avanti to be best-in-class.
