We act as an extension of your procurement process
We provide a combination of process, technology and domain expertise that augments your existing print procurement activities. We interact through consultancy, systems and services, working as an extension of your existing departments or through outsourcing. We put people on-site as needed and provide immediate assistance through our professional call-center, depending on your particular needs.

The effectiveness and control practices normally applied to commodity procurement are challenged by print with its frequent requirement changes, uncontrolled enterprise-wide buying practices and unleveraged supplier capability. Print buyers achieve better results using their own trusted suppliers and deserve the enhancements we offer to all aspects of the print procurement process.

Procuring print and other specification-defined goods and services is different than buying widgets from inventory. We understand the difference better than anyone. That’s why we hold three U.S patents* and a continuing application for competitive procurement.

Our web-based Print Management Center provides transparency, reporting, accountability and control and enables improved objective supplier and project management. Our tools and services make your print procurement activities more efficient and effective, and our assistance is available to bolster your procurement activities as needed.
