Enterprise Print Management

Statements and invoices. Payroll and expense checks. Purchase orders and shipping documents. Product and compliance labels. Letterhead and envelopes. Marketing, investor and employee communications.

Print management is a complex process that requires significant domain expertise and specialization.  Most organizations lack visibility, and therefore, a complete understanding of their total print spend.  They often focus on only one part of the process – per unit pricing – thereby foregoing significantopportunity forcost containment and process improvement that exists across the entire print-related supply chain. 

Standard Register can help you manage and assess the true cost of all your communications— and recommend ways to streamline and improve the way they are produced, managed and delivered. 

Case in Point...

A Fortune 100 telecommunications company was challenged to reduce its $80 million spending on printing. By consolidating procurement globally and using Standard Register’s SMARTworks® Web solution for online ordering, the company saved $400,000 the first year and is now saving 5% on total print spending annually. In addition, the company’s 2,000 sales people now can change marketing materials on the fly, beating competitive offers in less than 24 hours. But with SMARTworks, the marketing department controls the look, feel and quality representation of the company’s brand.
