Photo Imposition Tool

The Photo Imposition Tool was a workflow system developed for a photo printing business to enable automated imposition, printing, and delivery

• Photo upload was a manual process

• Photo imposition was done manually for every image size

• No integration with the shipping application

• Order tracking was not possible.

• The system integrates with the Photo App and FedEx Server for delivery

• Photos are uploaded to the system along with an XML file containing order description and details

• The photos are transferred to a server based on the XML file information

• The Imposition Algorithm starts the process of photo imposition based on the requested size (i.e. 6X4,5X5, 5X7, 8X10)

• The imposed photos are placed in a single file using the sorting algorithm and are sent for download by the printer

• The file is downloaded and sent for printing, lamination, cutting, packing, and delivery

• The status of each phase is updated in the tool and is visible to both the client and admin

• Status update emails are sent for each update in the tool

• The delivery details are sent to the FedEx server using the FedEx API and the delivery is tracked

• One single application handles the entire process

• User-friendly shipping module

• Automated bar code and QR code reader

• Algorithm for the automated imposition of images based on size
