Introduced by SAi only four years ago, SA International’s (SAi) flagship software-by-subscription initiative model remains the first and only one of its kind worldwide that enables users to access RIP software via low-cost monthly subscription and cloud-based downloads. The milestone was surpassed during Q2 of this year.
SAi’s landmark 10,000th subscription is from the company’s Flexi family and was purchased by Rocken Graphics, a print shop specialising in the mobile carnival and amusement markets, based in Gibsonton, Florida, USA.
‘As a small business, SAi’s programme enables us instant access to Flexi’s extensive catalogue of design tools, which helps us to compete with larger sign shops,’ said Rocken Graphics’ owner, Kenny Smith.
‘We use two licences to drive our five large format printers and typically produce around 500 jobs a month. The ability to access Flexi on subscription offers us huge business efficiencies in terms of time- and cost-savings and the quality achievable with the software is phenomenal,’ he added.
Since SAi introduced the subscription model, sign and display companies around the world have been granted greater cost control and flexibility, and automatically benefit from having the very latest updates.
‘This achievement is a fitting testament to the way in which SAi’s subscription-based initiative presents increased and quantifiable benefits to sign industry customers around the world, who continue to enthusiastically embrace the model,’ said Mark Blundell, CEO SAi.
SAi’s industry-acclaimed Flexi signmaking solutions, as well as the company’s feature-rich EnRoute CNC cutting software, are both available via the subscription-based model.
