How Do I Manage Print and Production Vendors for a Campaign?
You manage vendors by listing each production item with its vendor, quote, proof approval, and delivery date, and by tracking all items in one view until everything has arrived. On Jestor, this runs through a production table, Approvals for proofs, and Tasks.
Physical production is unforgiving. A wrong file, a late proof, or a missed delivery cannot be fixed by an update, and campaign dates often cannot move.
What uncoordinated production costs
- Proofs approved late, pushing back printing
- Errors discovered after printing
- Deliveries missed with no time to recover
- Costs above the quote with no explanation
How production tracking works
- Each item is a record with vendor, quantity, and quote
- Proofs are sent for approval with a deadline
- Production and delivery dates are tracked per item
- A dashboard shows what is on time and what is at risk
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Deadlines for approval are visible to everyone
- Errors are caught at the proof stage
- Costs are compared with quotes
- This scales from small print jobs to large campaigns
