Midnight is a fantastic tool for direct mail and print production companies.

Our overall experience with Midnight has been excellent. I started my direct mail production company in April 2014 and by the summer I knew we need more organizational structure in our production workflow. We purchased Midnight after watching a few online demos. We were sold right away as it gave us the ability to input all our job details and schedule all our mail dates. 4 years later we decided to start using it for PO’s and invoicing and I’m kicking myself for not having used these modules right from the start. Our next phase which we are super excited about is tracking all our production time per docket and doing more micro-scheduling in each department. The technical support we have received from the Midnight team has been excellent our emails are answered usually within an hour and they are always available to do a quick call should the query be hard to tackle through email. If you are a direct mail or print production company I highly recommend using Midnight you will be amazed at how easy it is to use, how great the supplied reports are and how little if any customization is required.

PROS

I love how easy it is to use and how little customization is required to completely fit my business. I can't believe how simple it is to cut a PO or invoice a job and I love the fact the two can be connected. Since we started using the invoice module we have cut our invoicing time down from 5 days after a job mails to 2 days which is a huge help with cash flow. The reports available are amazing very little need for any customization

CONS

The only challenge we have right now is with the postage module because we are a Canadian company and we have to add tax to our invoices and reconcile payment with tax. However, the team at Midnight has been very responsive and are working on a fix for us.

Vendor Response

PJ Green Midnight Review

PJ Green's experience with Midnight has been extremely positive. Utilizing features such as the job board, inventory app, widgets, etc. has allowed our employees to obtain information that previously required a face-to-face visit, phone call or email.

PROS

Seamless Transition - used Mailshop software for 10+ years before implementing Midnight software (September 2017). Midnight allowed us to seamlessly carry over all data from Mailshop and offered features not available with Mailshop software. 3rd party software - link to Windowbooks software allows us to control postage much more efficiently. Cloud based software - Mailshop software only allowed employees to work from their work station or log-in remotely. Midnight software has given employees the ability to log-in from any desktop, laptop, cell phone or tablet both inside and outside of our building. Inventory App - app allows inventory transaction to take place in real time and allows employees to work from anywhere in the building. Dynamic Job Board/Scheduling - has allowed employees to view status/department of each work order from start to finish. Customer Service - always friendly and available to discuss any issues/features/improvements

CONS

Because software is cloud/internet based, connection can be slow at times.

Vendor Response

Hi Rob, Moving from one MIS system to another can be tough work, but I'm glad to hear you were successful. We're constantly evaluating the speed of the site and hope you haven't experienced any speed issues as of late. Thank you for being the best part of Print Reach!

Dissatisfied customer

We have waited 3 months now for a solution to our pricing matrix to make it simpler to update pricing. We have had zero response, zero options, so we pay for a software system that we currently can’t use because print reach has yet to try and help solve our problem.

PROS

Customer support is very responsive and helpful. Our on site trainer was fantastic and knowledgeable.

CONS

The Cloud based system is extremely slow. With the print world pricing increasing every 30-45 days it is extremely painful to update pricing in the system.

Reason for choosing Midnight

We were already using mail shop. We were sold on how easy this would be. We had the same problems with mail shop and were told we had solutions with Midnight to fix them.

Vendor Response

Denis, on behalf of our team here, I'm sorry that you're not having the best results with Midnight. We'll be reaching out to you to correct this situation and show you an easy way to update pricing.

Midnight review

I have worked with Virtual Systems at 2 different companies starting with MailShop about 1999, and migrating to Midnight several years ago. Their focus on the customer and continually improving their offering to meet critical, evolving needs makes our partnership the most important one we have to meet our company and our customer needs. And the people are great to work with as well.

PROS

The comprehensive nature of the software- it fill so many needs for JetMail from project management, inventory, estimating, accounting reporting and postage management, as well as integration with other products (such as Salesforce, WindowBook and other API integrations) that help us to streamline our communications.

CONS

We sometimes struggle with the reporting- specifically setting up custom reports that suit our changing needs. It is more of a technical expertise and time issue on our end.

Vendor Response

Sean, It's great to hear that you've been a customer since our Mailshop product days and the migration to Midnight MIS is complete. Thanks for taking the time to write the review and for your continued trust and business.

Software that offers great features

We are changing our set up of pricing currently to the Print Estimator to help us manage each jobs profitability better. This will also help our sales team be able to estimate jobs on their own instead of having to confirm with management. We also love the copy order feature that helps save time when putting in repeat orders. The entire team is also very dedicated to constant improvements, and welcome customer feedback and requests. That is a rate find in todays world.

PROS

Simplifies our business in one place. The ability to access inventory, estimating, schedules, profitability, revenue and client information all in one place is huge for our company. The entire company is focused on serving our customers through one platform.

CONS

Occasional issues with the customer portal cause team members delay.

Vendor Response
