Summary

Noosh, a software-as-a-service for print production and procurement, has become a “must-have” for professional print buying organizations in many of the world’s leading enterprises by offering key benefits, including:


  • Significant and sustainable cost reduction
  • Process compliance, improvement and control
  • A “system of record” for print with visibility and performance measurement

  • The Solution: Noosh Software-as-a-Service

    Noosh software-as-a-service helps you create a print management program that delivers sustainable cost reduction through greater efficiency, visibility and control. 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. Noosh leverages the Internet to create a powerful, collaborative environment where everyone in your print supply chain—including buyers, printers, creative groups, and agencies—works together more efficiently.



    The primary benefits that our customers using Noosh technology for enterprise print management cite are:


    • Drives significant and sustainable cost reduction
    Our customers consistently report 15 - 20% hard dollar savings by deploying Noosh. Many of these analyses are based on side-by-side comparison of “like” jobs that were procured “pre” and “post” deployment.

    Noosh buyers drive procurement efficiencies with competitive bidding, rate cards, and reverse auction events. By using Noosh they are able to reduce maverick buying, get control of the spend that may be in the hands of agencies or fragmented across the enterprise, and drive efficiencies with the proven procurement practices that are enabled on Noosh. As well, Noosh buyers rely on historical spending information that is automatically collected in the system as a basis to help them make more informed buying decisions in the future.

    • Enables process compliance, improvement and control
    Since Noosh provides a single repository for storing and managing all project information, communication between all job team members is enhanced and errors are reduced. As well, every stage of a project’s workflow can be completed more rapidly. For instance, the time needed to 1) request supplier quotes, 2) review quotes, and 3) track projects before and after deploying Noosh is typically reduced by about 50%.

    Noosh is not a “one size fits all” solution. Instead, the application architecture supports extensive customization and configuration to more readily meet unique business requirements for data collection and collaboration.

    • Provides a “system of record” for print with visibility and performance measurement
    Spend control and analysis of custom products such as print is impossible without a “system of record” that can capture complete and detailed information for product specifications, changes, time constraints, and quality. Importantly, this data collection is not simply isolated to the procurement event but needs to cover the entire arc of the print lifecycle - from the creation of a custom print specification(s), loading of print files, delivery of art files, bidding, orders, change orders, shipping, invoicing and other process steps.

    Noosh includes robust reporting capabilities to analyze data in the “system of record.” Customers use these capabilities to benchmark and improve performance. Commonly tracked metrics include procurement, specification management, workflow processes, and supplier performance.

    Ad-hoc reporting capabilities enable users to define their own reports. Report parameters can be saved and distributed for re-use by other individuals within the organization.
