--KB
OFFSET utilizes a data warehouse and forms
management system with a 'just-in-time inventory'
methodology to facilitate our print fulfillment
services. By digitally storing text and images, we
allow print buyers to reduce inventories and
eliminate waste due to obsolescence.
--
Now your
printing cost can be reduced while your materials
are always up-to-date and delivered on
schedule.

The print
on-demand and order fulfillment process is ideal
for technical manuals, sales and product sheets,
brochures, catalogs, newsletters, booklets and any
printed items that need to be updated frequently
and/or take up valuable warehouse storage
space.
--
You only have
to order what you need -- when you need it. Changes
are fast, easy and inexpensive. Your print job can
be drop-shipped directly from KB's document
fulfillment center to locations anywhere.

Case
Studies...
ON
DEMAND
--
A multi-million
dollar manufacturing division of a Fortune 500
Corporation found themselves with a massive
inventory of forms, manuals, documentation, and
marketing materials. We introduced the 'print
on-demand' concept and they were able to eliminate
their internal warehouse space and convert it into
other productive uses.
--
As importantly,
within two years we helped them reduce their
printing purchases 25% and reduce those costs
$250,000. In the next five years, with our joint
efforts and our 'just-in-time' print scheduling, we
reduced their print purchases to $350,000. annually
(a 65% cost reduction) while their business has
continued to grow and expand.
-FORMS
MANAGEMENT
--
A
publicly-traded medical services company with 80
healthcare clinics in 25 states required a solution
and alternative for the traditional method of
forms, manuals, and marketing material being
procured in each local market, independent of a
central control system. Their costs were out of
control and there was no consistency in the
appearance or quality of printed products from
location to location.
--
Our forms
management system was instrumental in consolidating
hundreds of similar-purpose forms into less than
one-hundred standardized forms. After ten months of
research, revision, and planning an order entry and
print-on-demand system was put into place. The
printing expenditures were reduced from over
$500,000 to about $300,000 in the first year that
the plan was implemented. Similar percentage
expenditure advantage gains were achieved with
marketing and collateral material.
