Case Study: Publishing Concepts cuts book production from seven weeks to 4 hours with Typefi

Publishing Concepts cuts book production time by 99% with Typefi

Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI), a book publisher specializing in creating custom Oral History Projects for universities and organizations, faced a significant production challenge. Manually composing each unique book, which compiled thousands of alumni stories, was an extremely slow process; a single project took a team of designers about seven weeks to complete. To address this backlog and speed up publishing, PCI turned to Typefi's automated publishing software.

The solution implemented was a unique three-part automated workflow built around Typefi. This process used custom logic to analyze story lengths and create a highly efficient page layout, or "manifest," to minimize the number of pages and paper used. Typefi then automatically composed the final print-ready book file and indexes. As a result, PCI slashed production time from seven weeks to just four hours, a 99% reduction, while also significantly cutting costs by reducing paper usage.
