For print partners
Eligible paid orders can start printing automatically through Instana, reducing file handling and counter waiting at supported shops.
Faster handling of eligible paid orders
Eligible orders begin without someone at the counter starting them manually.
Less manual file transfer and print setup
The customer’s print requirements arrive already set, so there is less to re-enter.
Clear Instana availability and order state
Both you and the customer see the same availability and the same order state.
Better use of supported printers
Available printing time is used more fully across the day.
