Print Service Providers
Being a print service provider has become much more than simply putting ink on paper. It’s about providing a level of service to your customers that meets all of their communication needs.
Expand Your Service Offering
As you look to find new sources of revenue, adding variable data capability or web-enabled services is an excellent source or revenue. Not only do you keep your presses running, but you also increase the overall amount of work you get from each client. You’ll build a loyal customer base and be perceived as a provider who can deliver a full range of solutions.
Did you know:
60% of Print Service Providers reported an increase in revenue after implementing Web-enabled services, and that the average revenue increase was 8.1%.*
Manage Print Buying
Pageflex Storefront offers an easy way to offer a print buying site for each customer. This allows print buyers to come to a single online store and order everything they need in one convenient location.
More and more print buying is happening over the Web. In 2008, printers reported that on average, 14.3% of their orders came from Web-enabled systems (not FTP). The number is expected to climb to 45% in the next year. *
Streamline Operations
Pageflex Storefront lets your customers make their own customizations and order their materials online without your involvement. They can even manage the proofing process, often the biggest bottleneck to getting a job ready for press. You will see completed, approved orders arriving into the printing queue.
Create a Complete Digital Workflow
All Pageflex products easily connect to other third-party applications through a simple API (programming interface). Connections to many popular applications for print shops already exist, and others can be easily added.
