For print shops · Production platform

One platform: AI prepress, imposition, MIS and a factory behind it.

SofloPod is a production platform, not just a print vendor. Files are preflighted and repaired by AI in the browser, imposed automatically, estimated and routed to the right machine, then tracked to the door. Use the software for your own presses, route jobs you cannot produce to our Miami lines, or both.

What happens to a file in the first 20 seconds

The AI engine reads the PDF, finds the issues a prepress operator would, fixes them and emits a PDF/X file plus a report. Manual review only when a fix needs a human decision.
