The Mosaica Group Expands Portfolio With Metrix® Software

Automated job planning “intelligent” software adds to Mosaica’s holistic offer


November 28, 2012

Sussex, Wis. – The Mosaica Group announced today that it has expanded its portfolio through a new relationship with Metrix® Software, an innovative software that optimizes workflow by dynamically determining the most efficient and cost-effective layouts and project plans.

Supporting The Mosaica Group’s overall mission of providing competitive solutions which help its clients take full advantage of today’s technologies, Metrix is a revolutionary, easy-to-use software that can transform a printer’s workflow. The software applies an understanding of optimum print practices to a database of presses, finishing equipment and stocks to determine the most efficient and effective project plan. Metrix helps customers build a library of successful project manufacturing plans, and applies that cumulative intelligence to future projects.

“The relationship with Metrix demonstrates that The Mosaica Group is continuously looking for premium products and technology to add to our portfolio, providing our clients with the technology they need to be successful and competitive in this market,” said Randy Peters, Mosaica president and CEO. “And, Metrix is an excellent software package that will demonstrate ROI in a matter of months.”

“We are delighted to add The Mosaica Group to the Metrix team,” said Bob Bierwagen, president of Metrix Software distributor Clarity Interactive. “The Mosaica Group represents the best in workflow products and expertise, and adding Metrix to its portfolio is a natural. The Mosaica team’s G7 and prepress workflow expertise, strong client relationships and distinctive business model make the company uniquely qualified to deliver the tools and services that will help graphic arts providers thrive in today’s highly competitive marketplace.”

Metrix eliminates the need for outdated imposition software, because project plans are converted into imposition data and sent directly into the prepress system. The software adds automation to print workflows by exchanging data with MIS, prepress and finishing.

Earlier this year, The Mosaica Group (formerly La Crosse Litho Supply) unveiled a new identity, which reflects the company’s commitment to deliver the expert support printers increasingly need to remain competitive. Experts in printing technology, automation and systems integration, The Mosaica Group provides leading-edge technology solutions backed by implementation, training and other continuous support that helps clients operate profitability and grow their businesses.
