Abstract
A method for asset routing including receiving a digital asset, determining a set of print partners for the digital asset, determining a set of candidate batches for the digital asset, selecting a print partner for the digital asset, optionally determining a print partner for an unmatched digital asset, and routing the digital asset to the print partner.
Claims20
A method for routing an asset to a print partner, comprising:
- receiving the asset, wherein the asset is associated with asset parameters;
- determining a ruleset, wherein each rule within the ruleset is associated with an asset parameter permutation, wherein a rule comprises a weight for each print partner, and wherein an asset parameter permutation comprises a specified value for at least one asset parameter;
- determining a set of preferred print partners based on a rule of the ruleset;
- determining a set of available print partners from the set of preferred print partners based on a capacity of each print partner of the set of preferred print partners;
- selecting the print partner from the set of available print partners based on the rule;
- and
- routing the asset to the print partner for printing.

A system for asset routing, comprising a processing system configured to:
- receive an asset associated with a set of asset parameter values;
- generate a ruleset, wherein each rule within the ruleset is associated with an asset parameter permutation, wherein a rule comprises a weight for each print partner, and wherein an asset parameter permutation comprises a specified value for at least one asset parameter;
- automatically determine a set of preferred print partners based on a rule of the ruleset;
- determine a set of available print partners from the set of preferred print partners based on a capacity of each print partner of the set of preferred print partners;
- select the print partner for the asset from the set of available print partners based on the rule;
- and
- route the asset to the print partner for printing.
