Every print business has that moment.
“That can’t be automated.”
“We’ve always done it this way.”
“The system won’t allow it.”
And then there’s Andrew “Auz” Oswood, Senior Workflow Engineer at Innovaic – the person who hears those words and starts mapping out how to prove them wrong.
Engineering workflows that work in the real world
Auz doesn’t design automation in theory. He builds workflows that operate inside the real pressures of production environments – tight deadlines, unpredictable job types, legacy systems, and teams that simply need things to function reliably.
His focus is simple:
Remove bottlenecks
Reduce unnecessary manual touchpoints
Eliminate repeat errors
Give production teams their time back
That means digging into how jobs actually move through a business – not how the process chart says they should move.
Because most inefficiencies aren’t caused by lack of effort. They’re caused by systems that don’t quite line up with reality.
When your MIS becomes the blocker
For many businesses, the MIS was meant to be the backbone.
Instead, it becomes the constraint.
- Data locked in the wrong places.
- Workflow steps that require workarounds.
- Automation that only handles the “easy” jobs.
Auz specialises in breaking through that rigidity. Whether it’s integrating platforms, restructuring job intake, automating prepress checks, or connecting disconnected systems, his approach is practical and production-led.
The goal isn’t flashy automation.
It’s reliable automation.
The kind that reduces firefighting and lets your team focus on value, not repetition.
