Frequently asked questions
Intelligence Score, answered
What does the Print Operations Intelligence Score measure?+
Your shop's quoting speed, pricing consistency, response time, and how much manual effort goes into estimating. The score benchmarks you against print shops with €300K-€5M revenue across commercial print, packaging, large format, and apparel decoration.
How long does the assessment take?+
About 2 minutes. A short set of questions on how your quoting and estimating workflow runs today, from RFQ intake to quote sent.
What do I get back?+
A score from 0-100 with category breakdowns for speed, consistency, and scalability. Each score includes what it means for your operation today and the specific areas with the highest upside if you addressed them with GelatoConnect Estimator.
Who is this assessment for?+
Print shop owners, operations managers, and senior estimators who want to know how their quoting process compares to shops winning the most work today. Useful before evaluating quoting software or building a business case for change.
How is the score calculated?+
Your answers are scored against benchmark data from GelatoConnect Estimator customers including ESP Colour (200+ estimates per day, 95% quoting time reduction), BSG (2x win rate after deployment), and Inkee (3-4x quote volume without adding headcount).
Paul Hudson, Hudson Printing - A hardcover quote in five minutes flat.
Print has always been too hard to buy. Paul explains how GelatoConnect Estimator turns customer language into technical specs, collapses complex jobs like hardcover books into a five-minute branded quote, and helps Hudson Printing dominate its local market.
Simon Smogur, ESP Colour - 12.5% sales growth, 19% added value, one quoting engine.
Simon walks through how ESP Colour replaced static spreadsheets and trade-print pricing with real-time, margin-controlled estimating. The result: faster responses, tighter margins, and the kind of consistency that's separating winners from the rest going into 2026.
Pradeep Sankaran, GelatoConnect - The hidden cost no PSP is talking about.
Most operators obsess over press utilisation. Pradeep makes the case that estimating - not production - is where growth quietly leaks away, and shows how automated quoting lets PSPs handle inbound surges and stop turning down high-volume tenders.
