Wheaton, IL (July 16, 2020)<\/em> \u2014 Aleyant, an innovative leader in providing robust software services to the graphic communications industry, today announced that Alliance Franchise Brands has more than 100 franchise members using Aleyant\u2019s Pressero eCommerce solution. Pressero is a core component of the franchisor\u2019s WorkStream technology platform, an integrated system designed to reduce the time associated with estimating, order entry and production activities through automation and integration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have more than 800 Pressero eCommerce stores that are active across our franchise network, with some centers having more than 40 eCommerce sites for their customers,\u201d said Paul Wywrot, director of technology development for Alliance Franchise Brands. Wywrot noted a recent shift among franchise owners from concentrating on the eCommerce component with customer storefronts to the more robust, multi-purpose solutions built into the WorkStream technology platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we see that virtually everyone is interested in integrating ordering into their MIS and\/or production workflow with Aleyant\u2019s Automation Workflow Integrator which is included in WorkStream,\u201d Wywrot explained. \u201cAleyant has built-in connectivity with PressWise, EFI\u2019s PrintSmith Vision, Printers Plan and CoreBridge, covering more than 90 percent of our locations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Marketing & eCommerce Manager Ryan Mastako added that the COVID-19 pandemic has, in part, been responsible for increased adoption of eCommerce and workflow automation across the network. \u201cOur centers are offering COVID-related products such as signage, wall and floor graphics, and PPE,\u201d he said. \u201cThe ease and convenience of online ordering is helping all types of businesses to reopen safely as soon as they\u2019re allowed. We know business owners have so much on their minds; we want to make it as easy as possible for them to get these safety requirements taken care of.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alliance Franchise Brands is a key Aleyant partner, and the two organizations have worked together to continue to enhance the capabilities of Aleyant\u2019s software solutions, including Pressero, eDocBuilder, Automated Workflow Integrator (AWI) and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of our key integrations have been driven by Alliance Franchise Brands requirements,\u201d said Trent Foreman, Aleyant\u2019s director of Products & Services. \u201cThey help us stay on the cutting edge, and we are pleased to be a go-to partner to enable their franchise members to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The franchise network\u2019s WorkStream technology with the incorporated Aleyant components is a key competitive advantage of franchise membership, according to Alliance Franchise Brands Chief Technology Officer Joe D\u2019Aguanno. \u201cOur leadership team recognized the need to invest in a talented and passionate support team along with the right technology partner to ensure the success of the initiative.\u201d He said. \u201cOne of the many benefits to a tech-enabled network is that it frees up our franchise members to be sales-driven rather than bogged down by workflow inefficiencies that can be detrimental to a business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also beneficial is the collective buying power that the franchise network brings. \u201cA customized technology package like WorkStream would be cost-prohibitive for an independent business to replicate,\u201d D\u2019Aguanno noted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alliance Franchise Brands has several paths to franchise ownership. \u201cWe have some great programs for independent printers and sign shops as well as entrepreneurs who are interested in joining the network,\u201d Wywrot said. \u201cThe MatchMaker Program allows entrepreneurs to purchase an established business with an existing customer base, cashflow and staff. And owners of independent print or sign shops looking to retire or sell their businesses can work with one of our merger & acquisition managers to find qualified buyers or match with existing franchise members looking to expand in other markets. They understand the value WorkStream brings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
