Riou Solutions

Optimal yield from a diverse machine park thanks to MultiPress

Riou Solutions has positioned itself as an authority in visual communication for over forty years. With four specialised workshops and a team of 17 experts, the organisation realises a wide spectrum of signage, display, and marketing projects. The implementation of MultiPress forms the strategic pivot in these business operations: a powerful MIS/ERP system that aligns seamlessly with complex production environments.

Maximum efficiency versus manual fragmentation

In the previous configuration in PACE, the software hindered the operational flow. The lack of connection resulted in inefficient processes:

• Calculation optimisation: Where previously 95% of quotes were prepared outside the system in Excel files, MultiPress now offers integrated calculating power that directly aligns with graphical reality.
• Automated data flow: Manual order transfer of webshop orders from DSF and PrestaShop has been eliminated. MultiPress acts as a central hub that effortlessly unlocks external data sources.
• Financial integration: The previous fragmentation between production and accounting (Sage) has been resolved, resulting in a cohesive administrative chain and real-time financial insight.

Grip on a dynamic and hybrid machine park

A versatile production environment with a mix of small format (RISO, Xerox, HP, IGENS) and large format (Océ Colorado, VUTEK, HP Latex) requires superior management. The use of high-quality finishing technology, such as Zünd and Kongsberg, demands a workflow that masters this diversity.

MultiPress facilitates this dynamic without the need for complex custom solutions. The software provides the required structure for tight planning and accurate job monitoring, significantly increasing the occupancy rate and yield of the machine park.

Foundation for scalability and automation

With MultiPress, Riou Solutions chooses a future-oriented architecture in which quotes, production, and invoicing fully converge.

• Process consolidation: Standard functionalities replace error-prone manual intermediate steps, which increases operational stability.
• Advanced connectivity: The link with prepress via Automation Engine Esko accelerates throughput times and reduces the error burden.

MultiPress transforms Riou Solutions' business operations into an automated and scalable model, ready for further growth and technological innovation.
