Virtual Ticket is the only solution available today that combines powerful project and workflow tools into one simple to use solution.
With Virtual Ticket you'll bring together all the components of your work in a centralized location, including project briefs, job tickets, customer info, all the associated document files, and more. From this one location Virtual Ticket provides advanced workflow tools to help you manage and automate your processes.
Don't change your workflow, configure Virtual Ticket. Virtual Ticket provides powerful out-of-the-box capabilities with the unique ability to "add-in" and modify pre-built features and forms specific to your workflow - giving your organization the flexibility it needs to adapt the software to its unique workflow and not the other way around.
Virtual Ticket can be used as a stand-alone solution or seamlessly integrated with MetaCommunications Workgroups 2007.
Paper job tickets and other paper-based materials are obstacles to delivering high-quality products and services under tight deadlines. Worse still is the fact that paper documents can only be in one place at a time. With Virtual Ticket, you can convert your paper-based system into custom electronic forms that facilitate an organized and efficient workflow within your workgroup. Information will always be available, and always up to date.
Agility is the name of the game in the Graphic Arts industry. The ability to quickly adapt to changes in project, jobs, technology, and new products and services is critical to a successful organization. Virtual Ticket provides the workflow tools to allow your organization to create an electronic workflow that is instantly updated and accessible on demand. Creative and production information can change on a dime, and workflow can deviate without interruption or chaos. That saves time, eliminates bottlenecks, and speeds workflow.
Schedule and traffic your jobs in real-time using the new Advanced Workflow & Scheduling Solution Library. This is the industry's most powerful, yet simple scheduling system. It includes tools for trafficking or scheduling staff to manage jobs interactively with creative and production staff. Built-in To-Do lists, Gantt charts, production schedule and resource allocation reports makes managing jobs or projects clear and efficient.
Get more done in less time by automating repetitive creative and production tasks. One of Virtual Ticket's greatest strengths is in its ability to help creative and production users do their jobs better and faster. Now Virtual Ticket includes automation plug-ins for popular desktop applications and the ability to drive processes in third party applications, like Photoshop, directly from job tickets. That's powerful, and a big time saver.
Bring document files into your workflow processes. It's only natural in today's digital workgroups that files are every bit as important as the project information surrounding them. Now, with Virtual Ticket you can bring the two together. Document files can be associated with virtually any information found in your forms. Associating the two is as simple as dragging and dropping files onto forms, or it can be done automatically with the Digital Storage Manager module. Once the association between the document and the form is created, you can use any of the information contained in either to search for documents and related forms.

Your business is unique, and Solution Libraries allow you to easily extend your Workgroups solution to meet your unique needs without extra baggage or cost.
Since there is never one way to do something, we made Virtual Ticket adaptable. Virtual Ticket is a dynamic solution that can be tailored to your unique environment. With simple to use tools, Virtual Ticket can be configured to include your own custom forms, workflows, and functionality. Administrators can design their own or use and modify pre-built Solution Libraries to leverage existing Virtual Ticket functionality to meet your specific needs.
Unlike a database development program, you won't have to start from scratch to get powerful functionality. Virtual Ticket works out of the box and has built-in tools for managing projects and workflows. No other solution can integrate into your environment more completely than Virtual Ticket.
Virtual Ticket provides predefined reports as part of its importable Solution Libraries, while retaining the ability to create and import custom reports. Predefined and custom reports can include graphs, charts and virtually any level of detail. Reports may be generated as PDF or Excel documents. Custom reports give you the flexibility to tailor your information to your requirements.
