The fully automated publishing server solution DocScape is the ideal link between PIM / CMS / marketing automation and digital printing for hyper-personalised print communication.
DocScape integrates seamlessly into the existing infrastructure. Personalised content streams are exported from various sources, aggregated and then converted into print-ready documents fully automatically.
Thanks to responsive print design and intelligent page optimisation, even very differently personalised content is always converted into high-quality, individually designed page layouts that do not show the automatic generation. Every recipient sees a document that has been personally designed for them.
DocScape, successful on the market since 2002, has been open-source since 2018 and is so performant that it has the power in its own data centre, online or in the cloud to provide thousands or millions of individually designed, hyper-personalised documents suitable for high-speed digital printing.
4R Innovation is responsible for the further development and marketing of DocScape, the design and implementation of projects for fully automated document generation, as well as consulting, integration and support.

Founded in 2016, the owner-managed company WirbelWild provides a service for the automated generation of layouts with its multi-award-winning software system "ManyPrint Solutions". ManyPrint Solutions is available as a SaaS application and can be controlled both in the browser and via its REST API.
With ManyPrint Solutions, third-party interfaces can be contacted and integrated into the layout generation process. This makes it possible to combine data sets. Obtaining such information is done during the playout process, so that real-time data is applied in the sense of hyper-personalisation. These can influence the content and nature of a layout. 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.
