Tracking Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is critical for helping commercial printers and in-plant print centers become more productive and profitable. The 2020 North American Production Software Investment Outlook by Keypoint Intelligence/InfoTrends offers useful insights about how the information to create KPIs is collected, how KPIs are used by commercial printers and in-plants, and the KPIs that are most important to those organizations.

Keypoint Intelligence reports that the leading business initiatives for in-plants are reducing production costs and improving efficiency. With staffing levels in flux and budgets more closely scrutinized because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this is an opportune time for in-plants to automate information collection to build KPIs.
