TurboFlow
Accelerate and Streamline Complex Printstream Manipulation
Product Overview
CrawfordTech’s TurboFlow delivers new levels of performance and flexibility to accelerate high volume complex processing for all print formats, including PDF. With TurboFlow’s advanced indexing capabilities, large print files can be split, re-sequenced and merged into multiple files, in any order, in one pass, resulting in up to 50% faster processing speeds. This ensures communication providers can minimize resource requirements and maximize productivity to easily achieve aggressive SLA timeframes and increase operational efficiencies for all customer communications.
TurboFlow accelerates and streamlines challenging page sequence changes such as postal sorts, address cleansing, and merging of multiple print files using an external file that specifies the selection and re-sequencing details. TurboFlow optimizes the printstreams, leveraging intelligent resource management to remove duplicate resources to ensure fast printing and archiving.

Business Challenge
Print and mail organizations are under constant pressure to meet increasingly aggressive SLA timeframes, while managing changing job profiles, complex postal requirements and providing value-add capabilities. Adding more resources or upgrading to faster print and mail equipment may seem like the easy answer, however, that typically results in changes to existing workflows, extended implementation timeframes and additional expenses. The challenge is to quickly address these imperatives without compromising operational efficiency, flexibility, or profitability.
Customer Success Story
A Financial Solutions Provider Automates Their Workflow
This large company provides financial benefits solutions such as disability, life, health and accident insurance to 30 million people directly as well as through more than 150,000 brokers in the UK and the US. They rely on inkjet technology to produce and mail statements and other material, and deal with very high volume and regulatory driven SLAs . Their goal was to be more efficient with a solution that would integrate their existing postal optimization software and their production workflow for an end-to-end automated workflow.
Product Details
Flexible, Advanced Capabilities
TurboFlow eliminates the multi-step processing typically required to extract select page sets from one or more files and then combine them in any order – in one or multiple files. An external file specifies the page extraction and re-sequencing details. In addition to TurboFlow’s accelerated processing speeds, it also optimizes the printstreams, removing duplicate resources to ensure fast printing and archiving. Supports all print files, including PDF.
Postal Optimization
- Single-pass processing speeds complex splitting, merging and resequencing of multiple large files based on batch size, routes & weights to efficiently meet postal requirements
- Easily manage householding and commingling processes for deeper postal discounts
Production Optimization
- Simplifies splitting files across multiple print centers to maximize asset utilization
- Easily streams files based on page count or weight to optimize productivity on print and inserting solutions
Multi-Channel Delivery
- Easily manage communication delivery preferences to support Customer Experience (CX) initiatives
- Supports preference management systems including CrawfordTech’s eDeliveryNow® Preferences

The Net Promoter Score
The Net Promoter Score®, or NPS®, is a customer experience metric used to track customer loyalty. Basically, it serves as a standardized "yardstick" for organizations to gauge customer loyalty. Plus, it allows you to compare scoresc to organizations in other industries. If an organization wants to make customer experience a priority, the NPS score is a great tool to track progress.

The rise in complex PDF sortation and concatenation
As ERP systems and policy generation platforms have migrated to generating PDF output, the demands on post composition systems have increased drastically to accommodate the limited scope of these systems.
