From manual calculations and fragmented processes to a centralized sales and order platform
For resellers and print managers who sell and source print products, everything revolves around speed.
Customers expect a competitive quote within hours.
Orders must be processed quickly and without errors.
Product ranges need to be broad — without producing everything in-house.
Keeping full control over the entire print sales and purchasing process is a major challenge. In this use case, you’ll discover how a reseller transforms fragmented processes into one integrated sales and order platform.
The role of the reseller: sales comes first
As a print reseller, you act as the link between customer and production. You produce little or nothing yourself. Your strength lies in:
- Building strong customer relationships
- Delivering excellent service
- Responding quickly
- In-depth knowledge of print and production
- Advising and calculating accurately
The challenge: quoting and sourcing under high time pressure
Customers expect speed. A quote needs to go out the same day. Lead times must be immediately clear. Prices have to be accurate.
In day-to-day practice, this often results in manual work and fragmented processes. The main challenges are:
-
Fast and error-free quoting
You want to send customers a competitive quote quickly. But with manual calculations and multiple supplier portals, comparing and pricing takes time. Every extra step increases the risk of pricing or specification errors — and ultimately margin loss or delays.
-
Purchasing without clear oversight
You work with multiple producers, each with their own pricing, lead times and portals. Without one central overview, it’s difficult to quickly select the best option. The result: wasted time, duplicate work and missed commercial opportunities.
-
Time pressure and fragmented processes
Quotes, orders and invoices are handled separately. Systems don’t connect. As a result, manual work remains necessary — while speed is exactly what makes the difference in a competitive market.
