Hosted SaaS Solution or On-Premise SaaS Option  

Our solutions are hosted by us with zero installation necessary! There’s no need to manage servers, deal with complex software, or purchase InDesign Server licenses. We utilize hosting services from Amazon Web Services (AWS). Tasks are separated by multiple servers: Processing jobs through single or multi-instance InDesign Servers; administrative tasks; and Web Application delivery. REST APIs are used for managing templates, fonts, and processing jobs. If needed these services can be deployed an On-Premise SaaS option.

Easily integrated into your own eCommerce site, DAM solution, or delivered as a stand alone Portal

Simply add some HTML code and a bit of server-side programming (such as PHP or .NET) to call our APIs. Adobe Experience Manager, Box, Brandfolder, Canto, Cierto, Cloudinary, Dropbox, Intelligence Bank, MediaValet, Tenovos, WebDAM (Bynder), and Widen are some of our DAM partners.

Native InDesign document support and easy management of templates 

Templates are created using any InDesign document. All features of InDesign are supported correctly, maintaining full fidelity. An extension to InDesign runs on the designer’s machine to prepare the documents for upload and ensures quality control. A web-based administrator's console gives complete control over your templates. 

Architected for a global market 

Our user interface is localized for several languages, including right-to-left and complex languages. Because we're native InDesign based, we support any of the document languages that InDesign supports. Fonts that appear in our web application are completely controlled by the client. Fonts can be specific to a single template or available for all templates.  

Custom Workflows that are based upon the organization for approvals and output type: Print, Email, Microsites, Social Media

Edit once and publish to various output media types such as PDF, PNG, JPEG, HTML, and IDML.

Case Studies

Hundreds of companies use products from Santa Cruz Software. Here are some case studies for a few of them.

Indigo Golf Partners (formerly Billy Casper Golf) provides full-service management of and consultation to more than 160 golf clubs in 29 states. They have been using our BrandingUI portal for several years now and their benefits have been huge. They have been able to expand while reducing their workload and drastically reducing their turn-around time on marketing campaigns. We have enabled them to go from 3 week design cycles to less than 24 hours. The marketing team used to respond to 5.5 requests a day, and now they handle 2.5 requests a day. The rest of the requests can be self-served with BrandingUI. This enables the marketing team to be much more creative and pro-active in their campaigns.

Woodhoue Day Spas has tripled their number of spa franchises over the last three years. As they grew, distribution of marketing material was becoming very complex, expensive, and labor intensive, making it difficult to control their brand identity. PrintUI provided the solution. How much of a workflow time-saver is PrintUI? For Woodhouse, it’s the difference between multiple people working a few days versus a few hours. According to CMO Paul Erdelt. “Without the PrintUI editor, we’d need to hire more [corporate] staff. I’m not exaggerating,” he insists.
