The membership includes companies and organizations in the engineering and design, material handling and logistics, and fabrication areas.

Baseline Payments
Are you looking to streamline your accounts receivable/payable? Could you benefit from consultation on how to improve the ways you get paid?
Longtime PrintForward associate partner Baseline Payments is a Vancouver-based firm that has more than 2,000 clients in a range of industries. Most importantly, they consult with many PrintForward members who have discovered great solutions, enjoy Baseline’s local support and ongoing advice … and save money both in their rates and in their time.
Now, if credit card acceptance has become a painful financial burden, you might want to chat with Baseline about Jetpay — their own EFT-focused platform. Send a link through Jetpay and your clients can choose to pay you either bank-to-bank — at a small fraction of the cost of credit cards — or they can pay by credit card and pick up the associated fees. Using Jetpay is a win-win for a cost-conscious company also looking to modernize its processes (and giving their clients a choice of how to pay their invoices)!
