EFI Acquires SmartLinc Inc.

EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation based in Fremont, Calif., has acquired shipping software developer SmartLinc Inc.

Located in Milwaukee, SmartLinc Inc. makes software that optimizes the shipping process by allowing users to select the best carrier for their shipments. The software also allows for automated integration with other software systems. Print MIS/ERP products can automatically submit print jobs to SmartLinc software, which then tracks shipment status, cost and carrier information, and transfers this information back to the MIS/ERP system so users can have a more complete picture of expenses, job delivery and other essential metrics.
