Spindle Professional
 

Spindle Professional is a document distribution application that sits between you and your printers -intelligently creating, adjusting, sending, and archiving the printed output of virtually ANY software application.

 

Spindle analyses information on your printed documents, and uses customisable business rules to manipulate the print job – adding backgrounds and images, selecting the correct printer, making PDF archive copies,  and even deciding whether to send it via email, fax, post, or even all three.

Spindle can be linked to your Practice Management database and extracts data that can be used to control how documents are printed – client by client.

 

  • Reduce paper use  – using email and fax where possible - painlessly
  • Intelligent Delivery – Spindle knows what to fax, what to email, and what to print
  • Flexible – automatically adjusting documents on the fly
  • Save Money – using plain paper instead of pre-printed stationery
  • Save Time – eliminating all manual photocopying/faxing/emailing
 
Spindle can be linked to 3rd-party databases via ODBC connections.  Spindle can extract information from those databases based on comparing it with information on the printed page, and then adjust its behaviour accordingly.  It is possible, for example, for Spindle to identify a client code on a letter, query the Practice Database for the client's email address, and then send the letter to the client via that email.
 
Spindle can be configured to carry out a sequence of actions that varies from document to document (Letters will be treated differently from statements, or bills, for example).  This includes sending the document to a different printer, applying different watermarks, and making copies of the the document.
 
Spindle has specific links with INVU - allowing direct, unsupervised, submission to the INVU file system - simply by askign the user to hit the Print button. 
 
Spindle has specifically written links to Sage, ACT! and SharePoint, but can be integrated with any software product that is capable of printing, and which allows some degree of control over the content of those printouts.
