 Global supply and demand, regulatory restriction, mergers and acquisitions deeply affect the manufacturing industry. Operations are complex due to numerous suppliers, research, assembly, and distribution activities. Survival and financial health are dependent upon:
- Efficient supply chain management
- Rapid access to and versatile distribution of information internally and externally
- Customer service
Information drives everything. The right output solution can help overcome the limitations of disparate platforms, systems and paper-based processes to achieve fast, efficient information delivery.
An optimized output environment can be a powerful enabler of your business. We work with you to identify opportunities for higher uptime, faster development cycles, simpler fulfillment of compliance requests, less rework, more accurate shipping and more. Then we design and implement a solution that helps you:
- Use data efficiently across all platforms with a single software platform
- Repurpose data that resides in ERP or legacy systems
- Reduce dependence on paper
- Centralize the visibility and control of printers and print jobs
- Build customer-supplier loyalty
- Create a new revenue stream
Our services, software and hardware can provide results in three areas:
- Optimize infrastructure. Multi-vendor environments with single-function devices can be complex, limiting and expensive. With the right mix of hardware and software, you can overcome the limitations of device-dependent applications and systems that don’t talk to each other. Even better, you can manage everything centrally to assure accurate, reliable output to laser, impact and thermal printers and to non-print channels (Web, archive, e-mail, PDA).
- Improve productivity. Paper-based processes, preprinted forms and rework cause some of the highest costs in manufacturing. We help you boost worker productivity with electronic forms, electronic routing and archiving, and with technologies such as RFID and barcodes. Our solutions can increase the speed, efficiency and accuracy of inventory and supplier management.
- Enrich supplier and customer experience. An output solution is the means to personalize customer and supplier touch points through a strategy called TransPromo. When you insert color, graphics, barcodes and one-to-one messaging in multiple channels (e-mail, Web, print, PDA, etc.), you can improve readability, inspire loyalty and create a new revenue stream.
Simplify every aspect of output transformation – we’re a single source for services, software, hardware, maintenance, supplies and support:
- Integration expertise helps you leverage legacy investments and minimize disruption.
- Experience helps you make the best use of resources – people, time and money.
- Our TransPromo pilot center allows you to test a concept to prove its value.
Operate faster, at a lower cost, with an output environment that works with, not against, your business, IT and operating goals:
- "Simplify and unify" with a single solution for document composition, collaboration and multi-channel delivery.
- Merge data sources – ERP and legacy systems – to improve access to information and link customers, suppliers and production, regardless of location.
- Manage compliance initiatives, including environmental, health, safety and recycling regulations, more efficiently.
- Improve uptime, accuracy and efficiency throughout your supply chain.
Put more black in your bottom line:
- Reduce rework
- Reduce costs associated with downtime, delays and product returns
- Save time and eliminate unnecessary steps associated with forms processing and retrieving paper documents
- Inspire customer loyalty, which can increase lifetime spending
- Pursue new revenue with cross selling and up selling on existing customer-supplier communications
- Reduce IT intervention for output-related issues
- Link customers, suppliers and production, regardless of location, to expedite supply chain activities
