Cost Saving

Cost Saving

It is one thing to broker services – it is quite another to consult with your client on cost-saving at every stage of the process. This is not just an add-on – to us it is the core principle around which all of our own processes have been designed.  A client who knows they are saving money because of us is a happy client and lots of happy clients for us makes for a successful business.

Wide network sourcing

As mentioned in Planning, we aggressively manage a wide network of suppliers nationally, using them for the types of work (size, material, lead time, finishing requirements) where they have the greatest competitive advantage themselves. By picking their sweet spot, enjoying volume breaks on pricing and receiving their premier service (going to the top of the queue) because of the amount of business we provide, we can offer our clients a package they could never achieve otherwise.

Digital Asset Management

Good Digital Asset Management saves a lot of time, and therefore money. Maximising compatibility and re-usability through our Digital Asset Management system not only reduces client cost but also increases the speed of design, ensures brand consistency and allows clients to track the value of their digital assets.

Online proofing

The proofing process is one which can be the biggest delay or cause of mistakes in any act of production. By using a seamless online proofing system, Print Consultants removes the to-ing and fro-ing and all the concerns about versions which can horribly slow down proofing done the old fashioned way. Changes can clearly be tracked and multiple parties invited to comment at any stage and it saves a lot on our administration time saving you money.

Online reporting

Our pioneering online print management system allows you to see real-time information on stock consumption, ordering and costing. Cost-centre (branch or department) statistics or your Aged Trial balance (allowing early reconciliation of Accounts Payable) are highly valued by our clients, but we can produce reports showing any combination of criteria and information – just ask!

Print Audit

We can provide a free-of-charge, confidential comprehensive assessment of your print requirements and what it would cost if they were provided by Print Consultants – to enable you to decide how great the cost saving would be if we managed your print and media needs.
