I love providing customer service using WebCRD. It is very user friendly and easy for customers to place their own orders and for me to help them if they have any questions. It is the best ordering system that I have used in 19 years of customer service in the printing industry.
We recently brought business cards and other personalized stationary in house, saving lots of money. We also create personalized marketing pieces that increase the appeal of our products to customers.
Many of our educational clients have commented about how easy it is to submit jobs online instead of hardcopy. We even have had a few who previously said that they would never use the online system comment that they should have used this from the start because it is so much easier than completing a hard copy ticket and they get the work back faster too!
We have saved money on reprints. Also deadlines are being met much quicker which saves time and time is money. We have been able to bring more jobs inhouse including business cards. Our cards now cost less than 1¢ per card. The cost at an outside vendor was approximately 18¢ per card. Quite a savings.
100% of orders are submitted electronically, vs. e-mail orders that needed to be manually entered into our tracking/billing system. 85% of our current volume is produced in 2 touches vs. 4 from previous workflow.
Customers love the rapid development and deployment of new variable data workflows. Using FusionPro with Dynamics, WebCRD, and QDirect allows a myriad of possible workflows, and we do not need additional IT involvement to set them up, which saves time and money.
We have tripled our color volume, added an additional Color Digital Printer, but no increase in staff. WebCRD Reports allow us to monitor workloads and adjust volumes to machines as required to meet due dates.
Having WebCRD Dynamics produce an already imposed, print ready production file, has improved our production.
The vast improvements in our turn around times have kept our customers coming back. Our output has more than doubled in the same size shop.
We added Employee training fulfillment by writing a nightly job to compare changes in employment status with our SAP ETL into Oracle HR Module and created API orders into WebCRD.
Moving one (1) division's print volume to the Printshop has a proven savings of $150,000+. Savings was compared to local printer by using WebCRD estimating capabilities to prove savings which made the decision to bring the work in-house easy.
We used to manually input charges into a report and then after we sent that report to our Business Office that person would reformat it and bill all the departments. WebCRD not only saves Print Shop staff time on removing this step but also our Business billing departments staff.
In our environment the speed of delivery was key. Once we began to deliver common jobs the next day word of mouth took over. The best endorsement you can hope for is for one user to brag about your service to another user. That's when you know your doing something right.
With Dynamic Templates our workload in our Graphics Department has moved from simple form setup up to more advanced and profitable design projects.
WebCRD increases the capacity of our resources to make our shop available 24/7 with an instant response to our customers so they know their job has been received.
We use nearly 200 AutoFlow rules to minimize operator touch points which drives a high machine production efficiency. Print-On-Demand Catalog Items have expanded to several thousand items, because of building relationships with content managers and demonstrating the ease of use for ordering.
The ability to use Fusion Pro to program the variable fields is a capabitlity that we did not have in the past. This allows the customer to print out group enrollment applications and make them specific to the group. We are now thinking of more ways to use that capability to save time and money for the customer. Also, since the inception of this system, we have increased our work load by 109% without missing a deadline.
The success of this system has been illustrated in the way that the jobs are being processed, printed and delivered. It has enabled us to send the job ticket along with the print file and the specifications to the Print Operator. Because of this capability the Operators are more informed about the details of every job and this has lowered the incidence of mistakes, which has saved money and time on reprints. The fact that we can track the production has been a great asset because we can be proactive when a problem arises before we miss a deadline.
Customers, especially adjunct, love to be able to send jobs from home or office, and know when they are complete and ready to be picked up.
Our customers love how quick and easy the catalog ordering is compared to other online ordering solutions we have used in the past.
Because teachers can see options through WebCRD, we are doing more jobs than ever that include covers, coils, padding, carbon-less paper, etc.
Our volume has dramatically increased because WebCRD offered us a tool that allowed easier ordering and production efficiencies to turn around work faster than ever before while expanding our capacity with the same labor. WebCRD has allowed our production team to spend less time on basic work and repetitive steps, thus allowing us to focus on assisting more with new projects.
Customers like the ability to upload their files on their schedule and to see the virtual proof. They appreciate the automated emails with status changes and shipping.
Job accounting is made easier. Our prior system simply logged jobs, this system takes it from entry to shipment.

Online ordering is quicker and easier than the previous software we used, allowing our customers to order more in the same time frame. They used to get frustrated with the old software and just print in their office.
... We have more time to add new features such as business cards, banners, posters.
With this truly automated workflow, we have increased daily volume by 25%
Teachers love how easy it is to use WebCRD as apposed to printing it themselves at their schools
With minimal touches per job, we have saved 2-3 hours a day in labor, eliminating the need for overtime.
Things that school would not have tried to create they are now able to order. We have a 3 day turn around. Teachers are able to use their plan period, lunch and evenings preparing for class and not making copies.
Our production has increased just by switching to WebCRD from Xerox Web Services. With the Xerox software we were manually printing hundreds of job tickets everyday. Switching to WebCRD immediately freed up 2 hours a day in labor.
WebCRD is helping to bring us into the 21st century and our customers enjoy the custom interface we built with the help of the wonderful team at RSA.
With less staff in our dept., the ability to send jobs directly to printers saves us time, which ultimately saves our employer money.
Auto-flow has ramped up our overnight production capabilities.
The billing is so much easier! I just print a report! Before this I had to manually enter all the information.

Barcode processing with easy verification that orders are complete and done right gets our orders out the door and delivered quickly. The system tells us everything we need to know and removes all guesswork.
WebCRD has helped us to centralize all of our orders into one location. That has helped us increase our productivity dramatically.

The combination of WebCRD & SurePDF has allowed our print center to bring in significant new volumes of print work from around the district without adding new staff or extra hardware.
We saw a 15 percent savings the first year, 13 percent the second year and another 4 percent the third year. And those are sustained savings, so we see a continued annual reduction of 30 percent, which is over $1 million per year!
By eliminating the manual processes required for paper work orders, we save hundreds of hours annually.
Waste has gone down dramatically due to being able to see special features before sending [orders]. Teachers [are]able to make sure everything is what they want before sending.
When I took over, I discovered 3 of our 5 hospitals had print fulfillment storage. They would order print brochures, forms etc and store at each campus. We consolidated the brochures into a single campus, ensured that all brochures where meeting brand standards and the patient consent forms were HIPAA compliant. With the ease of [WebCRD], we were able to identify the frequency of the orders to accurately supply our fulfillment storage to reduce waste, cost and time.
I have to say that customer service has always been a priority at this print shop, however, it was always at the print shop employees expense. The most noticeable difference for us is that we have been able to keep up with the increasing demand without having to hire another person in our already quite cramped space. It has also saved the district money in overtime compensation.
By bringing brochures and forms in house, especially the forms that have been added to our library and are tailored to the requestor (TBO), the company has projected to save over $250K!
We moved our brochures for Agents from Inventory Items to TBO (Template Based Ordering) Forms. Now Agents order and include their address information. Brochures are printed on demand and personalized with the Agent's contact information! They look much better and are more professional than the brochures we shipped from inventory, which had blank spaces for the Agent's imprint or label. We reduced turnaround time from two weeks to two days and reduced inventory waste by $100,000!
Overall revenue is increasing by up to 18 percent annually, and we've been able to lower our cost per copy! The ease of web submission and the convenience of not having to go off campus for printing is helping keep business on campus.

Fewer people needed to run machines. Custom Envelope and BC Templates save each dept or school from mass producing items from a third party printer. Printing only what is needed: Print On Demand out of our catalogs means no stacks of random forms piled up on shelves collecting dust and being misplaced.
By using WebCRD the school staff spend less time in the work room at their school. There are less errors or extra runs. The copy center is able to run the same doc for a low price. Documents that have previously be outsourced are now done inhouse. There are no set up fees.
