ALEXANDRIA | Virginia – February 2025 – <\/b>CSI (Composition Systems Inc.), a leader in printing and graphics, has streamlined its installation management by integrating Vantage with Durst\u2019s Lift ERP. This partnership has eliminated repetitive tasks, enhanced efficiency, and optimized project workflows, saving CSI over 10 hours per week on installation scheduling.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1976, CSI provides full-service printing and installation across industries, including retail, sports, and museums. While Lift ERP effectively managed printing, quoting, and invoicing, CSI sought a seamless way to connect production with installation teams. By integrating Vantage, a cloud-based project management solution for print and signage installations, CSI automated job imports and real-time syncing\u2014removing manual processes and reducing workload for coordinators and vendors.<\/p>\n
Previously, CSI\u2019s installation scheduling was a manual, time-consuming process. Sales teams filled out forms, schedulers checked availability, and installers relied on hard-copy guides. Now, with Vantage\u2019s real-time synchronization, installation details flow automatically from Lift ERP to Vantage, eliminating duplicate data entry and expediting scheduling.<\/p>\n
CSI also benefits from Vantage\u2019s mobile app, allowing installers to submit digital sign-offs and job photos instantly, further accelerating invoicing and project closure. “Having customers sign a screen instead of using paper copies is much quicker,” says Rob Harris<\/strong>, Partner & VP at CSI. “Any large format print company managing installations could benefit from Vantage.”<\/p>\n CSI\u2019s collaboration with Vantage began in 2023 when the company joined as a beta partner to refine the Lift integration. The ongoing partnership ensures CSI can influence feature development, such as mobile tools for installation coordinators and sales teams.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Vantage team is agile, responsive, and committed to continuous improvement,\u201d says Harris. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just a software purchase\u2014it\u2019s an investment in a product\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n With Vantage and Lift ERP working in sync, CSI continues to enhance efficiency, delivering seamless installations with reduced administrative effort.<\/p>\nA Strategic Partnership Driving Innovation<\/strong><\/h5>\n
