Docscape

The fully automated publishing server solution DocScape is the ideal link between PIM / CMS / marketing automation and digital printing for hyper-personalised print communication.

Iterative processes can automatically optimise layouts and their content. In advertising, the system enables the application of digital strategies such as microtargeting, product placement and native advertising for print products for the first time thanks to 100% automation.
ManyPrint Solutions works template-free and generates high-quality layouts by adapting layout rules. These can be used as PDFs for print, but can also be exported as HTML and CSS for use on the web and in emails, as well as in many other formats. 
Notwithstanding its openness to different output channels, ManyPrint Solutions pays special attention to the creation of print layouts and supports complex products with special colours, fancy folds or elaborate finishes. It is suitable for mailings as well as for trade fair catalogues, cookbooks, travel guides and all other printed matter that needs to communicate information for a defined group or individual.
