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.
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.
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.
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.
With minimal touches per job, we have saved 2-3 hours a day in labor, eliminating the need for overtime.
With less staff in our dept., the ability to send jobs directly to printers saves us time, which ultimately saves our employer money.
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.
Over 200 previously stock forms were changed to print on demand which saved money and labor.
We have been able to justify new equipment based on reporting capabilities in WebCRD.
Bar coding has significantly helped with tracking and saving time/money on locating customer jobs.
WebCRD has helped us increase productivity by ... leaving all the print options to the requester therefore we spend less time calling them with questions on their orders.
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.
We have routed remote volumes from around the district into our print center allowing the remote location to reduce and remove excessive hardware. In addition, they are able to reduce any contracted copier services.
WebCRD has allowed us to move over 25% of page volume from office machines to our production center without adding staff. AutoFlow rules have allowed us to take advantage of 2-up printing and has helped reduce our over all B/W clicks by about 10 million annually. BookBuilder is a new tool that is helping teachers pull together custom books from multiple sources and eliminates unnecessary page waste.
