Avanti Slingshot Connectivity & Strategic Partnerships

Utilizing the industry-standard Job Definition Format (JDF) enables Avanti Slingshot Print MIS to integrate smoothly with third-party applications. This connection with your additional business software, prepress, production, and bindery systems helps minimize errors, enhance cost transparency, and save valuable time.

By facilitating communication with strategic partners, third-party systems, and equipment across your organization, Avanti Slingshot can streamline your processes, effectively eliminating expensive and time-consuming manual tasks.

Information is shared between systems, transmitting as much data as the receiving system can comprehend, including but not limited to: 

  • Job ticket number
  • Job description
  • Paper size
  • Colors
  • Media information
  • Quantity
  • Content files

With Avanti Slingshot’s JDF Framework, you can achieve new integrations in just days instead of months. Additionally, the reduced integration costs will enhance your return on investment.
