Technical Job Specifications– are listed on the right side of the job master screen. P3Expeditor has two methods for generating job specifications:

• Flexi-spec, gives you the maximum freedom to specify your jobs. In a fast flexible way that can cover nearly any purchase you want to make.
• Detailed-Spec, is a structured forms driven approach. This fill-in-the-blanks method ensures you cover all the details. Convenient pick lists, option buttons and check boxes make the process fast. Comments fields in every section give you the flexibility to cover the few unique details that every job seems to have.

Printing, Mailing and Promotional Items – Easy to use and versatile you can build specifications for mailing / lettershop - kitting and fullfillment - promotional items and of course all kinds of print.

Advanced Pricing – Whether your needs are simple or more sophisticated P3Expeditor can adapt. After specifying one or more quantities, you can request prices for different specification versions and/or options. And if you require more detail you can request price break outs. This makes it easy to break out paper costs, bindery costs, freight costs or any other structure you want.
