PixtaFlow simplifies collaboration between the various groups in a print studio and their customers.   Enabling sales, production, shipping and accounting people to have a custom view on the jobs moving through the shop.   “Our client, a large-format digital print studio, simply wanted a system that let their customers re-order via their website”, explained President and founder of Pixta, Inc. David J. Rudolph. “ the shop was using a custom, proprietary, system to handle orders.  It wasn’t straightforward for employees to use and allowed no visibility for customers, outside of their office, to get job information and re-order. Customers were required to phone the shop to check on job status.    We wrote PixtaFlow to help the shop work more efficiently by having all job records easily accessible while giving their customers visibility into the shop process.”

Pixta, Inc. launches premiere web-based file transfer service PixtaSynapse

Novato, CA – September 1, 2006 Pixta, Inc., announced today the release of PixtaSynapse.   A professional file transfer service designed as an easier and more secure alternative, to FTP for transferring files.

Built to meet the demanding requirements of the large-format digital printing industry, and its customers, PixtaSynapse simplifies the process of sending, receiving and managing files up to 2GB (requiring only a web-browser).  

 “We were consulting with a prominent large-format digital graphics company and spending a lot of time maintaining their FTP server.   Based upon the support costs of maintaining the FTP server and negative perception of having a common inbox for most customers, we knew there had to be a better way” explained President and founder of Pixta, Inc. David J. Rudolph.   “We wrote PixtaSynapse from the ground-up to reduce support costs, tighten-up the lack of security in FTP and allow companies to get their brand in front of their customers when transferring files.”

With notifications, via email and RSS, after the file has been received by the Pixta servers - the recipient is sent a notification that a file is waiting in their PixtaSynapse Inbox and the sender is sent a notification the file has been received.    PixtaSynapse also provides a convenient link to the file, for the recipient to download.   Thumbnail representations of uploaded images in the PixtaSynapse Inbox of most graphic formats, including .eps and .pdf, allows easy identification of the transferred file.

Having a unique, branded, File Dropbox for each print studio, using a secure 128-bit SSL connection to the PixtaSynapse servers and virus checking each file transferred to the PixtaSynapse servers, PixtaSynapse simplifies security and defines ease-of-use when transferring files.
