The Client
SFO Color Graphics
SFO Color Graphics is a fast-growing reprographic company
providing beginning-to-end document management solutions,
specializing in managing, printing and distributing printed and
digital information. Utilizing state of the art machinery and
the latest technologies, SFO is able to provide its customers the
highest quality work at low costs.
Business Situation
In order to provide highest quality at low costs, SFO had to reduce its
own operating costs. Hence it was looking for a tool that will allow clients
to upload drawings themselves and then allow them and their subcontractors
to order drawings.

SFO was looking for a pretty much self-administrative tool.
With its success in AEC industry, AEC Tek understood this process very well
and was chosen to provide a solution.
The Solution
AEC Tek provided SFO with web based Plan Room which allows:
 General contractors to upload drawings and create access rights for subcontractors and owners.
General contractors and subcontractors can order drawings online and track order status.
AEC Tek delivered a secured solution where all drawings can be viewed but CANNOT be downloaded or printed (because reprographics business is to sell these drawings)
Provides SFO with administrative console to track status of orders and monitor order queue.
Business Impact
SFO can now focus more on servicing clients with print storing and ordering process being automated.
SFO being a small firm was now able to differentiate itself with its competition. Clients quickly started recognizing SFO for its productivity provided through this tool.
