Traditional Print Outsourcing
In an attempt to control the escalating cost of printing, which can consume between 2% and 3% of company revenues, organizations have turned to traditional print outsourcing providers, including: sole source print suppliers and transaction-oriented brokers, agencies, and outsourcer's. Yet, all too often, the substantial cost savings that organizations expected with these traditional outsourcing options never materialized.
While traditional outsourcers were good at counting clicks or tracking hourly creative services, they often couldn't meet the core requirements required to truly manage the entire print process, including: adherence to corporate quality and branding standards, on time delivery to end customers, the maintenance of the print management infrastructure technology, and cost-effective inventory management (warehousing, fulfillment and document obsolescence).
As organizations became aware of the multiple weaknesses of traditional outsourcing, they also realized they lacked the expertise and resources required to successfully perform all the elements of their own enterprise print management and procurement.
Technology Enabled Print Management Outsourcing
Powered by Noosh, the POINT outsourcing service offers a superior alternative to both sole source print suppliers that must direct work to their production assets in order to recover high fixed costs; and to transaction-oriented brokers, agencies, and outsourcers that lack the perspective and requisite technology to enact and execute a corporate-grade, disciplined print management, sourcing and procurement program.
- Unlike Sole Sourced print providers who are driven by asset (e.g. printing press) utilization, POINT provides a vendor neutral, information based service that’s able to take advantage of attractive spot-buying opportunities, unplanned needs for rush job capacity and immediate availability for the latest print production technology in a fast-changing supplier market.
POINT provides technology enabled single-source print management outsourcing -- bringing new efficiencies and economies to the production, sourcing, storage and distribution of printed materials. NewlineNoosh tailors its outsourcing services to match the specific print process needs of each individual client, ensuring that for each and every job, the customer's costs are lowered while processes are simplified and efficiency improved.
- Unlike Agencies who are driven by "creative" and who have little incentive to control costs while typically charging mark-up of a hefty management fee for print, the NewlineNoosh service leverages agency creative but employs cost reduction techniques such as design for manufacture, and demand aggregation -- while still providing its customers with complete visibility into expenditures.
