Print logistics: Logistical extension of printing services.
Switzerland has a special corporate structure. Small and medium-sized enterprises make up over 99 % of the companies and create two thirds of all jobs in Switzerland. Within a company, jobs are often spread across several Swiss regions. In many industries, regionality is a decisive competitive advantage, as are streamlined processes and a harmonised appearance.
These SMEs are just as dependent as the large procurement organisations on uniform, resource-saving purchasing. At a time when internal resources need to focus primarily on the company’s core tasks, any complex and confusing process in purchasing unnecessarily paralyses the business.
A customised solution
This is precisely where print logistics comes into play. Parameters such as assortment, delivery times, prices, user structure, etc. are coordinated with those responsible for purchasing in order to subsequently be able to maintain a lean and decentralised procurement process in day-to-day business, regardless of whether static or customisable products are involved.
In addition to the concrete processes running in the background, which form the core of this solution, the day-to-day business revolves around a modern online shop that fully reflects the defined conditions and guides the user independently and reliably through the requirements.
This practical implementation avoids queries and controls the processes efficiently and without human intervention. Each person placing an order, whether at an external location or in a department, only has access to the products relevant to them. Prices are calculated individually based on volume and not per order. Fixed prices and guaranteed delivery times make it easy to place a “just-in-time” order. Central controlling and decentralised purchasing work effortlessly and hand in hand.

Efficient production based exclusively in Switzerland.
Composite prices tailored to the actual consumption of each company are based on the production of annual quantities and efficient processes. This optimises the price-performance ratio and shortens delivery and response times. Guaranteed fixed prices offer small, medium and large companies a calculable reduction in overall costs and allow for demand-based supply at the right time.
