About Smart Software Development
Smart Software Developments has developed PunchClock, a small, reliable and easy-to-use time clock software for Windows. Since 2001, PunchClock has provided time clock software for more than 9800 companies in North America. Its clientele represents a vast array of companies both large and small. In order to extend its reach, Smart Software Development decided to compliment its software with plastic card printing services and other plastic card accessories.
Challenge
Smart Software Development was looking for a software solution that would enable the creation of an unlimited number of highly-personalized employee ID badges. These cards would be distributed to a vast variety of customers, including business firms and offices, manufacturers, retail stores, schools, colleges, universities, medical clinics, non-profit organizations and many others.
Eugene Vassiliev, Head Programmer, was looking for plastic card design software that would allow him and his co-workers to quickly create different card designs using a WYSISYG environment where all graphical elements can be easily manipulated. They were also searching for a means to batch print and encode all cards simultaneously, based on employee information for each customer. Moreover, Smart Software Development required the ability to reprint a specific employee’s lost card at any time without having to re-enter his information.
Solution
"We tried and tested almost all other card printing software packages available on the market without much success," said Mr. Vassiliev. "After finding that ID Flow was the only option that fulfilled our requirements, we immediately purchased the software."
With its comprehensive feature set, ID Flow was the only plastic card printing software that would prevent a loss of time and productivity. Using ID Flow, it is now possible to provide customers who purchase time clock software with personalized, custom-made plastic ID badges for their employees.
"At last," Mr Vassilev continued. "Smart Software Development was able to concentrate on fulfilling and shipping their custom card printing orders."

In Summary
"Compared to ID Flow, other plastic card printing software packages are outdated and overpriced. The best way to really appreciate what ID Flow can do is to try other competitive products currently available on the market," says Mr. Vassiliev.
