| We help clients streamline processes involved with print order, newsprint and print site management through our unified procurement and inventory management framework. This framework provides information to management that enables understanding of print, inventory, and wastage and reduces print consumption. The overall communication process is improved with enhanced procurement systems, tracking inventory and consumption details, capturing production data uniformly across all print sites and enhancing the quality of reports. We provide flexibility in coupling this framework with our Remote Warehouse Management solution to provide clients with a seamless system that manages print material procurement, inventory, consumption and wastage across the enterprise. |
