"With the forthcoming version 23, Pace builds on the iPhone application and adds support for the iPad tablet to redefine data access, giving sales and management real-time access to business information when and where they need it," said EFI Pace general manager Jay Farr.

Pace's iPhone and iPad applications include job enquiry, estimating wizard, GPS contact locator, delivery confirmation, schedule viewing and links to a web cam in your factory.

For wide-format customers the new version enables quoting for multiple products ganged up on the same sheet, including the ability to review existing jobs and make ganging decisions on the fly. The ganging features are enabled by the use of Lithotechnics Metrix software.

The new version will be available in June.
