radeprint has successfully expanded into the Irish market with support from VB Media. The pair have continued their relationship after the e-commerce platform helped establish a dedicated Irish storefront for the PSP.
E-commerce has always been at the heart of Tradeprint’s business model, providing companies with flyers and business cards from its e-shops since 2008.
Its relationship with VB Media started seven years ago when the two partnered
to seamlessly offer Tradeprint products through a VB Media website via the (then) newly created Tradeprint Connect API. Now, VB Media has once again provided the service to reach new customers without the challenges of a complex setup.
Gavin De Boos, director of VB Media, said: “What started as a handshake agreement has gone from strength to strength. “We now have just shy of 300 websites connected to the Tradeprint Connect API, and this continues to grow.”
Print ePS and PlanProphet extend four-year partnership

“This gives our customers the tools they need to connect workflows, improve engagement, and grow their business.”
Lemay Sanchez, co-founder of PlanProphet, added: “Print ePS has been an invaluable ally in our journey, supporting the integration of our solution with PrintSmith Vision and EPMS. “By incorporating the Midmarket Print Suite powered by ePS Pace into our supported platforms and enabling Print ePS to resell PlanProphet, we’re taking a major step forward.”
Print ePS will participate in the upcoming PlanProhet Champion Summit as part of the partnership.
