ePS Technique and EFI Pace / ePS Pace are not systems you understand from documentation. The estimating logic, versioning for direct mail, postal dependencies, and shop floor data integration — this knowledge comes from years of working inside high-volume print and direct mail operations. Shelorve's practice in this vertical was built from that experience. And PostalDynamix™ — our proprietary USPS promotion automation platform — was built directly from it.
Talk to a Principal →The Vertical
High-volume print and direct mail operations process billions of pieces annually, manage complex postal regulations across hundreds of postal authorities, and run production planning systems that schedule capacity down to the hour across multiple facilities. They are significant businesses with significant technology complexity — and a technology stack that requires hands-on platform knowledge to work inside effectively.
Shelorve's practice in this vertical was built from direct experience inside these environments. We understand how the modules interact, where configuration decisions have downstream consequences, and which problems are genuinely platform issues versus integration issues presenting as platform issues. That depth of knowledge is what every engagement in this vertical is built on.
The Challenge
Five challenges that require platform knowledge — not generic IT consultancy skills.
ePS Technique and EFI Pace / ePS Pace are specialist MIS/ERP platforms with deep configuration logic, interdependent modules, and implementation choices that vary significantly between operations. Understanding the estimating engine, production planning logic, postal versioning requirements, and shop floor data architecture takes years of hands-on experience — not a vendor certification or a documentation review. The wrong configuration decision in one module creates problems that surface months later in another.
In most print environments running AutoCount 4D alongside Technique or Pace, the same problem eventually appears — AutoCount says one thing, the MIS says another, and nobody is sure which to trust. The causes are predictable: timing mismatches, network latency causing transactions to arrive out of sequence, configuration drift between what AutoCount reports and what the MIS expects. Each has a specific fix. The problem is addressable at root cause — not managed around with reconciliation reports.
Direct mail operations run under USPS compliance requirements that go well beyond general printing. Presort logic, IMb (Intelligent Mail Barcode) requirements, postal versioning for co-mingled and co-palletized mailings, EDDM campaign management, and the documentation USPS requires for drop shipping — each has specific implications for how the MIS is configured and how production data flows through to postal submission. Beyond compliance, managing USPS promotion applications through the BCG portal manually consumes significant staff time on every campaign cycle.
ePS Technique and EFI Pace carry enormous amounts of operational data — job costing by press and shift, estimating accuracy by customer and product type, postal efficiency trends, waste by substrate and run length, capacity utilization across facilities. The platform's built-in reporting was not designed to surface this data in the way modern operations leadership needs. The data exists. The infrastructure to make it useful for decision-making does not.
Print and direct mail operations run Salesforce for CRM, AWS or other cloud platforms for data infrastructure, and enterprise data warehouses for financial reporting. The MIS — whether Technique or Pace — sits largely disconnected from these systems. Sales teams cannot see production status in Salesforce. Finance cannot pull live job costing into financial reports without a manual export. Customer service cannot answer questions about live jobs without calling the plant. These are integration architecture problems with specific, addressable solutions.
Platform Expertise
Four platform capabilities built from years of hands-on delivery inside print and direct mail operations.
Functional support, configuration, workflow optimization, and issue resolution across the complete Technique workflow — estimating, order management, production planning, job costing, inventory, contract management, and billing. We understand how the modules interact, where configuration decisions have downstream consequences, and which problems are genuinely Technique issues versus integration issues presenting as Technique issues.
Estimating · Order Management · Production Planning · Job Costing · Contract Management · Inventory · Billing
The same depth of platform knowledge extends to EFI Pace / ePS Pace environments — whether your installation dates to the EFI era or the ePS era, and whether you are running the platform for commercial print, wide format, or direct mail operations. Configuration support, workflow optimization, integration design, and issue resolution across the full Pace workflow.
Estimating · Production Scheduling · Shop Floor · Job Costing · Inventory · Reporting
Production scheduling on PrintFlow and shop floor data collection via AutoCount 4D — diagnosed and resolved at root cause when they are not working in sync. Timing mismatches, sequencing errors, network latency issues, and configuration drift identified and fixed permanently rather than managed around with reconciliation reports that treat a symptom rather than a cause.
PrintFlow Scheduling · AutoCount 4D · Shop Floor Data · MIS Reconciliation
eFlow web-to-print and electronic job submission — configuration, workflow design, and integration with the broader Technique or Pace environment. Order entry automation, customer portal setup, and the connections between eFlow and production planning that make automated job submission actually reduce manual intervention rather than create new data management overhead.
Web-to-Print · Electronic Job Submission · Customer Portals · Production Integration
Shelorve's proprietary platform for automating the complete USPS promotion management workflow — from ML-driven data validation before submission, through automated BCG portal filing, continuous status monitoring, stakeholder notification, and automated appeal processing. Supports all six current USPS promotion types and Informed Delivery campaign management. Eliminates the manual overhead of BCG portal management for direct mail operations running multiple promotion types simultaneously.
What We Deliver
Functional support and configuration optimization across ePS Technique and EFI Pace / ePS Pace — including AutoCount 4D, PrintFlow, and eFlow. Issue resolution at root cause, not workarounds.
