P3Source vs. PrintSmith Vision Comparison Chart

Pros

• Exceptional program to quote, manage and order printed materials. I searched for weeks trying to find the absolute BEST print managing software. Once I found P3, it was exactly what i was looking for!
• I like the ease of use, interaction with vendors and the reporting function. I can use the supplied reports or create my own.
• This software has been built for my industry. It's affordable. It saves me loads of time. It's reliable. Their support is first class and has never let me down.
• You create your specifications and send to multiple vendors at once. They respond through the system. That way you don't need to decipher each vendor's quote, which can be odd and time-consuming. All the information I need is there, and fairly easy to consult. Besides Print, I've had to adapt it's use to other realms of my work (translations & ADA remediation). Once your vendors familiarize with it, you have everything under the same system.
• P3 is in my opinion the best tool on the market for print brokers. We've tried other tools on the market but none of them work as seamlessly as P3 does. The development team is regularly pushing updates that actually make the product better (looking at you, big tech) and support is quick to respond.
• Efficient and easy RFQ process both for the buyer and the supplier; option to use multiple specs and copy jobs saving valuable time; option to use for non-print item. Great reporting, cost analysis and supplier management, all resulting in a very robust system.
• Ease of use, functionality and able to send RFQ's to multiple suppliers. Tracking of jobs and the ability to generate custom reports.
• I use it for sending bid requests, and it's become invaluable to me in job specification and managing those requests.
• I really love how simple P3 is to use while being robust enough to manage the variety of work we do! I've especially been very happy with their customer service on those rare, very rare, occasions that I've need them.
• RFQ process; Supplier Management & ratings; costing reports; search features; options on how to enter project specs. This can be used for more than just print projects!
