Why We Built RapidPress
We didn't come from the printing industry. We came from building software that solves overlooked problems—the kind of inefficiencies that people accept as "just how things work" until someone shows them a better way.
When we started looking into commercial print, we were shocked. Talented estimators spending hours manually inspecting PDFs, extracting specs by eye, entering data into spreadsheets, and hoping they didn't miss anything. Pricing inconsistency across teams. File errors discovered after materials were already on press. Revenue leaking everywhere.
This wasn't a skill problem—it was a systems problem. The workflows hadn't evolved in decades, while other industries had automated similar tasks years ago. Print shops deserved the same advantages.
So we built RapidPress: AI-powered PDF analysis, automated preflight, press-ready file generation, and a centralized cost model that ensures consistent pricing. All designed to integrate with existing MIS systems, not replace them.
Our mission is straightforward: help commercial printers reclaim 10-20% of revenue lost to manual workflows, so they can focus on what they do best— delivering exceptional print quality and customer service.
