Local workflow specialists DES have been selected to distribute Accura to Australia and New Zealand printers.

Russell Cavenagh, Sales Director, DES commented “This system will be able to simplify and accelerate workflows, while saving money and increasing accuracy. It really is a vital investment for companies that wish to grow and succeed in this evolving industry. Accura have already installed systems in leading print groups in Australia.

Previous News - March 2007

A number of exciting events have taken place recently: the release of version 4.09, the expansion of the DDS sales and support teams, and the growth of our export market to name but three. These activities strengthen both DDS and the Accura product line, further establishing us as a market leading MIS supplier

New Appointments

We are pleased to welcome Gavin Spooner to the team. Gavin's role is Support Engineer, responsible for day to day help-desk support for the Accura product. With over 15 years experience in the printing trade from a press operator through to production manager, Gavin adds extra depth and experience to the support team

 
A new addition to the Sales team is Adrian Matthews, who joins us as Northern Regional Sales Manager responsible for the North and Northwest of England & Scotland. Adrian brings with him over 30 years experience in the printing industry, ranging through repro, press, finishing and mailing expertise, as well as print related computer and software technology experience

These additions to the team have brought about a couple of internal changes and promotions. Alan McKillop has been promoted to UK Sales Manager. All UK Sales and Training staff will report directly to him. His remit will cover overall customer service, satisfaction and retention as well as developing new business opportunities within our existing customer base. Alan is moving South to take up his new role and will be based at our head office in Chandlers Ford

Mark Aitken has been appointed as UK and International Support Manager, with overall responsibility for both our UK and International client bases

To support the increase in personnel, the head office at Chandlers Ford has been refurbished and re-organised to provide more space for the support and sales teams, and a new training and presentation area

Product NEWS

In line with our policy of continued product enhancement, version 4.09 was recently released. One of the most significant recent new features is the on screen Job Tracking board, which ships as a standard part of Accura's Core Production Module

This board can be operated manually by 'dragging' jobs from department to department, or if RDC / Remote Data Capture is used, the jobs are moved around automatically in real time as the operators log on and off

The top left part of the screen shows jobs currently being worked on in each department and their due time status. The bottom part of the screen shows all of the previous activities relating to the job, as well as the current activity being worked on and the due to be finished time based on the estimate. The top right part shows jobs raised and waiting to be worked on

Another NEW feature is automatic % Wastage and Number Out Calculations which appears on the material list. Once a finished job size is chosen, the system can display the most cost effective material to use, based on the % wastage and number out of the sheet or across the web
