What People Are Saying About P3Expeditor

"P3Expeditor is terrific! It is efficient, detailed and a time saver. With just the click of a button you can send a RFQ to multiple vendors, analyze pricing and award your project to the right source. Excellent management tools will help you keep that competitive edge. I love the online version as it allows me to review my projects while on the go. I would highly recommend P3Expeditor, it has made my life easier. Give it a test drive, you will be glad you did."

P3Expeditor allows my team to provide the best products at the best prices to the partners we serve. It's easy to use and allows us the flexibility to load level the production work among our four member team. P3Expeditor allows us to streamline communications with our vendors, so that we are not spending excess time updating them when they win or lose a job. We also use it for our merchandise purchase orders by using the Flexi-spec module and templates that we created specifically for apparel.

It's one thing to KNOW that the team is busy, but yet another to be able to quantify the work with real purchase and SAVINGS dollars with a wide array of system reports available! P3Expeditor helps us to clearly demonstrate to our leaders the value our department brings to the company!

On April 10 2011 Ball Media Corporation, after 17 years in business, suffered a tragic fire that gutted our production and printing facility. To keep in business we knew we had to outsource production, at least temporarily. I searched everywhere for a system to do this efficiently, without disrupting our business or alarming our clients. When I found P3Expeditor, I was a more than shocked. It worked, and it looked as though they had developed it just for us. We started to use it immediately.

The people at P3Software walked us through the system details and helped us customize the set-up to meet our needs quickly and easily. Today, P3Expeditor has made the difference between being in business and not.

We have since added their QuickBooks integration module, taking away further steps in the process. And are now adding a Customer Access Portal they've developed for the P3Expeditor system.

P3Software is a company who's ownership and staff have truly walked the walk and understand the need for an efficient time saving yet detailed print management system that's not tied to an expensive and one dimensional Printing workflow. The amount of steps it eliminates from each job is tremendous; from client quote to job creation, tendering, analysis and even invoicing, payment and historical performance reporting and job tracking P3Expeditor cuts steps at every point.

We have done some restructuring and merging as far as capacity goes. P3Expeditor made our decision to not re-purchase printing equipment easy. In fact, today, 9 months away from the fire some clients are surprised to find out we even had one. They say "you guys actually seem more efficient and organized?". We owe that to P3Software and their staff.

It may seem exagerated, but I truely believe if it were not for the P3Expeditor system, I don"t think we would have made it. Thank-you P3Software, you were truly our "lifesaver".

The biggest benefit of using P3Expeditor is that it saves me enormous amounts of time. I can send RFQs to multiple vendors at once, I can see who has responded with the click of a button, and all of my jobs and specs are stored so I can look them up with a few clicks. This helps a lot when I need to reorder or only make a few changes. I rarely forget to include specs in my RFQs because I'm able to store such detailed information.

"The P3Expeditor System has been a huge time saver for me. I am in charge of purchasing approximately $3,000,000 in print a year. Last year I was promoted to Print and Purchasing Manager for the Marketing Communications department, which meant that I was purchasing all Catalogs, Tech Notes, Brochures, Folders, Fliers, Product Information Sheets, etc. for the entire department. There were originally 3 Print Buyers in our department which was cut down to one (me). The Marketing Communications department services the Life Science Group Division at Bio-Rad Laboratories. The Life Science Division includes 6 divisions that are responsible for promoting over 4,000 products. I am averaging between 60 and 70 projects a quarter, if it were not for the P3Expeditor System I would be lost and I would probably not have succeeded in accomplishing everything necessary to succeed in my job. I absolutely love the P3Expeditor System, it keeps my projects organized and I always know where I am with all of my projects. They are always looking to improve the system in anyway the customers need it to change. The Webinars are great for learning new ways to use the system. I can't say enough about P3Expeditor, it has been a life saver for me."

"We use P3Expeditor for all our quote, ordering and job reporting needs. We've been using P3Expeditor for a few years now and we love it. It has made our jobs so much easier and streamlines the workflow. It's a great program and it is very cost effective. We did a lot of research (globally) before selecting P3Expeditor and they were by far the best supplier. The guys are great to deal with and provide exceptional support."

With P3Expeditor, I have the competitive edge I need. It sets the standard with functions that go well beyond just acquiring bids and presenting prices to clients. Having the ability to track response times and production records of my suppliers gives me a higher level of business intelligence; it provides all the necessary reports to make smarter decisions for my company.

All of my purchase orders and invoices are processed through P3Expeditor. It brings everything I need into one convenient place. I occasionally manage my business while away from the office, and it is fantastic to have P3Expeditor's online access through my lap-top computer anywhere I have internet access.

I highly recommend making P3Expeditor your print procurement system. Once you start using it, you'll wish you had done so a long time ago. It is a real time saver, well worth the cost.

"We've been using P3Expeditor since 2005 for all the printing requests we outsource. It really helps us gather information quickly and keep it organized. Because of the ease of using this software we have been able to get more quotes which has ensured we were getting the best price and ultimately saved us money. As an added bonus our customers really like the output we get out of P3 that outlines all the quotes in a quick, easy to understand, chart. Great product for us, we love it!"

" P3Expeditor is brilliant! It takes all of the aspects of print brokering and offers efficient, detailed, time-saving steps. P3Expeditor's innovative capabilities from beginning-to-end are not only user-friendly, but also systematic and logical. Throughout my 25+ years in the printing industry, I have used several other print procurement software programs, and P3Expeditor surpasses all of them by far. I would highly recommend P3Expeditor to businesses in our industry. "

" In my University it is mandatory policy that all external print is purchased through my department. We have been working with P3Expeditor for over 6 years. This is an extremely simple and inexpensive print specific software solution for print buyers. We have found the product to be easy to use and the company has been very responsive to our comments/suggestions implementing aspects of these in successive upgrades.

Vendors click on the e-mail link to respond to your RFQ with a price, questions, or a No Bid response. The software lets you analyse the bids and then award through e-mail. The solution is fast and efficient and, unlike some other other e-commerce solutions, our print suppliers are not required to pay for or even use P3Expeditor themselves.

The most valuable aspect for us however is the audit trail that it provides for competitive bids. Some years ago our internal auditors asked us to describe our print buying process and demonstrate that we were achieving best value for money. We showed them our P3Expeditor records and they were so impressed that they have never queried our print buying process again! "

"I love P3!!! Everything is going great! The few questions I have asked have been answered very quickly by the P3 supporters. It's been a very easy transition for me."

" We have been using P3Expeditor since June of 2005 to automate our print buying procurement which has created huge time efficiencies for us; allows for better communication to our printers regarding job specifications; helps when coworker is away from the office to proceed with job production; and we use a variety of reports including job production schedule and supplier performance. We appreciate the "over and beyond" customer support from P3Software staff and their willingness to stay on the issue until it is resolved. "

"P3Expeditor has dramatically reduced the time I spend on requesting quotes, writing specifications, organizing my client’s projects & tracking production schedules for our international trade association. To say the least, we have an enormous variety of print projects & direct mail pieces ongoing each & every month. Using the P3Expeditor has allowed me to broadened the number of print vendors I send RFQ to (giving us a better overall pricing competition) and has also help me recover precious time to focus on the design process. If just saying 'thanks' is enough, then please accept it with all of my appreciation."

Rusty Grimes, Production Manager, Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI)

"P3 is a great product on which I have come to depend. I threw away all of my old spreadsheets which I used to use to track job production, costs, quotes, delivery dates etc., with much difficulty in comparison to P3's capability. P3 is easy to use, and your ongoing upgrades are always right on the mark, making my job easier. I'm glad I came across your application, only regret I have is that I did not 'find it' sooner."

Mark Day, President, Daybreak Graphics

"I Love the P3Expeditor software... ...it is fast, simple and effective."

Mary Marenghi, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

"We process over 200 jobs a month with only three buyers. P3Expeditor makes my work easier, gets the job done faster, keeps us ahead of our competitors and on top of our suppliers."

Ed Meyers, Mailing Services of Pittsburgh

"Before, my pricing conjectures were based on nothing more than my internal gut feeling. This [application's estimator] has some backbone to it. It crunches out various volumes and instantly gets me into the ballpark."

Blair Weidig, VP of Production Services, LehmanMillet

"Thanks for everything . . . especially creating this software!!!"

Lisa Edwards Jackson, Publishing Manager American Contract Bridge League

"We wanted the ability to track each other's jobs when necessary. How many bidders have gotten back to us? [The software] allows us to prioritize the active jobs and identify the jobs that have closed. It easily identifies the status of each [job] and sets up all of your suppliers [in a database], so when you have a new project, everything is right there."

Mike Matekovic, Production Manager, Aramark

"The P3Expeditor software is great. It really helps in making my workflow more efficient!"

Mike Larson, Print Buyer, 202Design

"I love the program [P3Expeditor] it has helped me immensely! I send out hundreds of quotes annually and it never fails that I will forget something. Not anymore..."
