Cloud technology and the Bring Your Own Device trend are seamlessly integrating softwares into a single virtual platform; bringing in better connectivity and communication between vendors and customers. However, the specialty printing industry is still plagued by multiple software installations; and managing services on daily basis is a time consuming and expensive affair. This is where TechVOX, a cloud-based products and service provider, comes into picture.

Founded by Rao Meka and Ravi Duvvurvi, TechVOX provides services to two sets of clients: commercial clients—basically large organizations, running multiple offshore businesses; and independent sign and print companies looking for effective cost utilization within their business infrastructure. The company’s flagship product, signVOX, delivers sign business management software that helps sign businesses improve operational efficiency, acquire and retain customers, and enhance competitive advantage. This purely cloud-based software does not require the maintenance burden of timeconsuming desktop installation. “In earlier years, people used accounting packages like QuickBooks and the rest of the business data was spread out on papers and different softwares like Excel spreadsheets and dry-ease whiteboards. Now we have changed all of that by bringing everything into single software, also available on the cloud, and easy to keep track of, anytime, anywhere,” notes Meka.

"You have to put your business out there on the internet, integrate with outsource management, third party systems and web apps in order to carve out a definite future for your company"

signVOX Pro, an extended version of signVOX targets larger print businesses. It contains advanced features like job costing and resource scheduling to help enhance better workflow configuration. The company also provides a platformbased product called ShopVOX, suitable for any custom manufacturing industry to manage their workflow efficiently. This platform integrates with customer management systems and other accounting packages along with managing the rest of the production flow. “Using the ShopVOX platform, vendors can do online proofing, create custom tools for different workflow jobs, and witness an overall effectiveness in the workflow management. This not only allows collaboration between two or more vendors, but also supports communication with outsourced partners and clients,” explains Meka.
