Print Procurement BPO: Ours is "technology-powered."

Our Print Procurement BPO services provide you a highly cost-effective alternative to manage your print spend. We become your print buying department by deploying onsite print managers and utilizing our diverse, renowned supply base to ensure you realize savings in your print spend while delivering high quality, brand building, print projects.

Our BPO solution is driven by the high productivity of our expert staff; our management of the complex print category processes; and our ability to capture print project data and report and analyze key spend, price and performance metrics. We bring efficiency, clarity, and objectivity to managing print. Underneath it all lies our Noosh technology.

We call it “technology-powered” Print Procurement BPO.

Savings, Efficiency, Visibility, Control: Powerful Benefits from Powerful Technology

By its very nature, the print category has been difficult to manage. Print builds your brand, drives your revenue and informs your customers. Getting it right is a high priority for your marketing team and your agencies, which means there’s a lot of involvement from a lot of people. Resulting print buying decisions are made and print orders get placed in numerous places throughout the enterprise, often outside the control of sourcing and procurement departments. Each buying location and each marketing brand or department may have its own set of suppliers. With no central coordination, print specifications (which may be complex to begin with) and spend documentation is, at best, inconsistent and usually not available at all. It can seem impossible to enforce procurement compliance, negotiate best prices and manage your supply base.

NewlineNoosh’s industry leading web-based print production and procurement application, Noosh, is core to our BPO services. It has been proven to:

• Enable efficient communications throughout the print supply chain – from marketing to procurement to production to distribution – and thus eliminate inconsistency and confusion around print projects.
• Enforce procurement process compliance and standardize print specifications so they can be repeated and improved consistently.
• Systematically drive down the cost of print using the most appropriate procurement methodology including multiple bid, reverse auction, rate cards and contract pricing; and engaging a select, more manageable panel of suppliers.
• Provide you a print “system of record” and routinely report on your key performance indicators since every important detail about every job has been captured and stored.
• Integrate with you existing ERP and source-to-pay systems meaning that print is no longer a spend category outside the control of the professional sourcing department.

Noosh technology helps create a print management program that delivers sustainable cost reduction through greater efficiency, visibility and control; and it enables more consistent use of your brand assets.
