Print Management Program Components

People

Standard Register offers both on-site and near-site solutions for managing print-related programs and processes.  With clearly defined document management solutions,  and our PrintConcierge® providing a single point of accountability, we’ll help you free up resources, reduce print costs and improve service. 

PrintConcierge® expertise is provided on-site or off-site to manage printing, processes, and relationships throughout the entire supply chain.  The PrintConcierge works closely with you to provide production alternatives, design advice, technical help, project management, and just-in-time delivery strategies.  The PrintConcierge secures best-of-class pricing, tracks and controls your print spend, oversees the process and drives improvements. Print management services also include  vendor management, as well as measurement and reporting on vendor service, performance, quality, and compliance.

Processes

Standard Register analyzes the document life cycle  and total cost of ownership  to uncover new ways of controlling your print spend and improving your processes.  We find savings and discover new ways to improve by using proven practices such as Lean Manufacturing, which removes wasteful elements of a process, and Six Sigma, which measures defects in a process so they can be systematically eliminated.  Detailed scorecards reveal truths about spending, savings, process, and performance so you always know where you and your print jobs stand.

Technology

Standard Register leverages technology to enable and manage your print-buying transactions and drive process improvements.  Our SMARTworks CPX™ software manages the sourcing and communications required to buy and deliver all types of print (digital print, on-demand print, commercial print).  The SMARTworks® platform also enables you to work with multiple vendors and manage digital color and variable printing, inventory, and distributions right from your desktop.

Simple to use, it truly streamlines procedures and improves cycle times while providing you with the tools you need for effective print management throughout the supply chain:  

• Inventory consumption analysis, tracking and reporting
• Inventory activity and status alerts
• Automated reorder notices
• Usage trend reports for predicting high-demand periods
• Backorder and production order information
• Plus, customizable work-flow parameters

This powerful combination results in an enterprise-wide platform for a complete document management solution.

Partners

Standard Register offers an integrated solution that relies on partners to create a competitive supplier marketplace as well as robust internal print on demand capabilities.  Standard Register’s Global Print Network® is a diverse yet streamlined network of commercial printing and fulfillment partners across a variety of specialties.  We pre-qualify and select these supplier partners, which include minority- and women-owned businesses, because they deliver quality work, on time, at low prices. And we routinely monitor and measure suppliers by evaluating what matters most to you and your organization.
