EFI is continuing along the acquisition trail with the purchase of shipping software developer SmartLinc Inc.
Based in Milwaukee, US, SmartLinc makes software that optimises the shipping process by allowing users to select the best carrier for their shipments. The software also allows for automated integration with other software systems. Print MIS/ERP products can automatically submit print jobs to SmartLinc software, which then tracks shipment status, cost and carrier information, and transfers this information back to the MIS/ERP system so users can have a more complete picture of expenses, job delivery and other essential metrics.
