Companies benefit in lots of ways when they move to digital on-demand printing for their marketing and product documentation. Unfortunately, the move often brings in its wake a passel of headaches for the employees assigned to administer the process.
“I have to take time to find out what we’ve printed,” one of our contacts told us. Another said, “I’m filling in to cover this job. I can’t keep up with the work flow.”
We’ve built an ideal solution to this problem.
What’s the problem?
These benefits and the accompanying headaches result from the dynamic capacity of demand printing systems to quickly and easily update archived print files, and to output materials as needed, in continuous small batches.
When you think about how quickly information changes, it’s easy to see how this approach is a huge advance over conventional long-run printing and physical storage of pre-prints, with its inherent costs and waste.
The problem arises as you struggle to keep up with multiple orders, numerous deliveries and continuous updates that are part and parcel of the demand printing process.
It’s tough to manage all this. Our contacts tell us that what’s worse is that they’re often left on their own to come up with ways to track usage and generate management reports.
Wouldn’t it be nice if your printer provided you with a service portal where you could enter your print orders and submit your updates online, night or day at your convenience, as well as one that tracked your orders and provided key confirmations and reports?
All in one location?
