At The Grey Elephant, we’re not just another software company; we’re pioneers in turning the complex challenges of label and packaging printing into profitable solutions. Our mantra is simple: help you print more labels and packaging more profitably. 

Our journey begins in the heart of your printing operations – the Plate Room.  

The Plate Room Paradox

We know that stopping the press for plate changes in short print runs eats into your profits. Often overlooked, the Plate Room, is a hidden gem for boosting efficiency. Our approach? Automate and optimize to make your operation more profitable. In many printing companies, the Plate Room is a maze of manual operations and inefficiencies. We saw this as an opportunity for improvement. Why should this vital process lag behind in an era of digital transformation? 

The Impact of Automation

Imagine a world where every aspect of your printing tools is memorized and automated to reduce labor costs, optimize plate usage, and ensure your presses run efficiently and profitably. With The Grey Elephant, automation means more than just streamlined workflows, it’s about unlocking the potential of your Plate Room, reducing errors, and increasing overall productivity. Our solution, Track&Trace4Tools, is the key to this transformation. 

Track&Trace4Tools, is tailored to the printing industry’s unique needs. It automatically schedules print sequences, verifies plate names with a barcode scan, and manages errors and audits efficiently – all while remembering every detail so you don’t have to. Imagine a system where every tool and process in your Plate Room is tracked, traceable, and manageable at the click of a button.  

It’s not just software; it’s a revolution in how you handle your printing tools.
