Print Management for Logistics and Retail
Given the importance of printing in logistics and retail companies worldwide, it is vital that you can depend upon a reliable and efficient printing solution.
Which Print Requirements Do Logistics and Retail Companies Have?
The ability to deliver quick turnarounds is what separates industry leaders from challengers – bottlenecks due to printing must be avoided at all costs.
Logistics and retail companies handle high volumes of print jobs, such as shipping labels, packing lists, invoices, receipts, delivery notes and other regulatory and compliance documents.
Often a single order requires multiple print jobs, of which many are triggered in different locations, offices, or shop floors by different systems, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), or retail Point of Sale (POS) systems. The ideal print management solution for retail and logistics must be capable of managing and maintaining these types of complex and decentralized print environments.
