EFI Acquires Shipping Software Developer

Just days before the EFI Connect users conference kicks off in Las Vegas, EFI announced that it has acquired shipping software developer SmartLinc Inc. Based in Milwaukee, SmartLinc Inc. makes software that optimizes the shipping process by allowing users to select the best carrier for their shipments. Print MIS/ERP products can automatically submit print jobs to SmartLinc software, which then tracks shipment status, cost and carrier information, and transfers this information back to the MIS/ERP system so users can have a more complete picture of expenses, job delivery and other essential metrics.
