Why commercial printers replace Pressero with GelatoConnect.

Pressero is a respected B2B web-to-print platform with thousands of live storefronts. The trade-off is that it is a storefront product first — production, prepress and pricing each sit in adjacent Aleyant products (eDocBuilder, tFLOW, PrintJobManager). GelatoConnect Store Link is built into a production platform, not bolted onto one.

01

Storefront integrated with production

Pressero is a "Web-to-Print Software for the Graphic Arts Industry: Pressero automates workflows to save time, reduce errors, and boost efficiency"S1. GelatoConnect Store Link is integrated into GelatoConnect's Workflow and Procurement modules from day oneG2.

02

One platform, not four products bolted together

Aleyant's storefront stack pairs Pressero with eDocBuilder ("powerful online designer and VDP solution"), tFLOW ("Integrated prepress software") and PrintJobManager ("cloud-based MIS to easily feed pricing data to your storefront")S1. GelatoConnect ships three integrated modules — Procurement, Workflow, Logistics — nativelyG2.

03

Native global logistics, not third-party plug-ins

Aleyant lists ShipStation, FedEx, UPS and others as third-party integrations on its partners pageS1. GelatoConnect's logistics module supports ~100 carriers natively, including Amazon Shipping, FedEx International and DHL Parcel ConnectG2.
