Dataline continues to grow, even during a crisis

These are uncertain times for anyone with a heart for printing. The corona crisis is hitting the graphics sector hard. There are therefore a lot of challenges that require a clear approach.

But these times also offer unique opportunities. Many companies are taking the initiative right now to implement automation and efficiency improvements. And they can, of course, realise these with MultiPress' ERP/MIS software, which has already helped more than 1,000 graphic production companies. With headquartes in Belgium and the Netherlands, but meanwhile all over Europe.

This requires support, so Dataline always invests heavily in staff, at home and abroad. Both in the marketing, business development, ICT, product development and various support functions, in order to perfectly support the growth through the Benelux and Europe.

The big switch to online

MultiPress integrates all administrative, commercial, financial and logistical business processes, together with production and management, into one powerful management system. The software eases all kinds of administrative tasks and improves productivity thanks to numerous modules specific to every conceivable graphics company. Invoicing, customer management, calculation, time recording, cost management or cost price calculation are just a few of the many possibilities of MultiPress that save a lot of time and money.

During the corona crisis, Dataline continued to work unabated. Despite the lockdown at the company and its customers, the switch to online contacts and homeworking was almost effortless. After all, video calls, webinars, online training and digital platforms for customer follow-up are familiar matters in this international environment.

Meanwhile, the international growth strategy continues. From Bruges and Limmen (the Netherlands) Dataline grows with MultiPress throughout Europe, with software available in 23 countries. Last year, new distributors or channel partners were contracted for Germany, Ireland, Spain, Bulgaria, ...
