of the rainbow available, but if they're
more concerned with hitting a fast turn
date, using what you have available
rather than risking the uncertainty of
ordering the inventory could be a great
solution to their challenge.
AUTOMATE
Another challenge facing shops is
the need for employees to be handling
tasks. These days, you may be operating
with a smaller staff, but everything
still has to be accomplished. Applying
the concept of automation to your
production may help complete tasks,
but with a leaner payroll.
Take a look at the steps that are needed
to accomplish a certain task. Is there software, equipment, or an outsource partner
that could handle one or more of those
steps to free up time for your staff?
Here are some examples:
* Funnel order information from
your website to your shop system.
Synchronize it so there isn't any
data entry.
* Purchasing inventory for online
bulk orders. Map it to your favorite
apparel distributor so when the store
closes, the goods are automatically
purchased and shipped to you.

*U
se barcodes or QR codes for
common tasks. When someone
needs access to the software, has
to look up an order, needs to pull up
art to run the job on a DTG press,
or other common tasks, the scan will
instantly complete the step.
This saves time.
*U
se software and apps like
Timeular to keep track of time for
data collection.
* Outsource with virtual assistants,
receptionists, art teams, or other
available companies to handle frontend chores without having actual
employees. They're paid by the task,
not hourly.
* With equipment, such as automatic
screen coaters, cleaning systems, or
imaging systems, you can walk away
and do something else while it's
working. For a screen room,
this means you can multi-task and
accomplish more with less labor.
DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
There's nothing worse than having to
do something over because of a
quality issue or some other error.
In this industry, quality is crucial.
Now more than ever.
Make sure your leadership team is
working constantly to elevate performance. Virtually all challenges can be
mapped back to an employee not doing
what they needed to do in the process.
It may sound weird, but when you
want to build speed into the system
sometimes it actually pays to slow
