Northern
Printing Network’s Print Management Program is a step-by-step
customized approach to managing your printing needs. Our program
is designed to reduce costs through effective analysis and administration
of the print and distribution process.
Analysis of your printed materials provides
a basis for making recommendations to reduce product
costs. A thorough review of your current items will
provide opportunities for cost savings through categorizing
items for combination ordering, standardization of specifications
and elimination of redundant printed products. When
searching for cost savings, we must also consider the
method of production. The advent of digital production
has created further options for cost reductions not
available just a few years ago. Combining that with
Northern’s broad and diverse print production
partners allows us to bring our clients unprecedented
opportunities to save.
Print materials and promotional
products are stored and monitored in secure climate-controlled
warehouses. Our fully integrated on-line print management
software provides real time inventory levels, PDF previews,
order status and shipment detail. Minimum reorder points
are established allowing adequate time for review and
production of your materials. Through effective management,
products can be grouped and ordered in combination for
reduction in production and material costs.
We will also manage inventory at
your location enabling you to focus on driving your
core business.
We can design and print everything
from envelopes and letters to forms and brochures. Beyond
that, our capabilities include data processing, state-of-the-art
personalization and letter shop services. And, as a result
of our participation in the USPS Business Partner Program,
we are current on ever-changing
postal regulations, assuring you the greatest postal savings
and efficiencies.
In
other words, we have the flexibility and the capabilities
to handle your entire project from planning and design
to delivery to the post office, or any stage in between
so you save time, money and headaches. Count on us for
the attention to detail that your direct mail projects
demand.
For Northern Printing Network,
warehousing is more than simply storing your product.
It is ensuring that the right product is delivered to
the right place, at the right time.
Secure
climate controlled warehouses coupled with state-of-the-art
on-line inventory software ensures timely distribution
and accurate inventory of your product. Orders are typically
released the same day and delivered in the most cost-effective
manner for national distribution. Northern will also
handle distribution and fulfillment of material produced
outside the Northern umbrella. With on-line access and
a single point of contact, you will more effectively
manage your print and promotional products, save time
and further reduce costs.
Northern provides comprehensive
reports that include inventory levels, shipments and
reorder points. Our usage and budget analysis provides
you with monthly and year-to-date usage. Usage trend
analysis is also provided to forecast trends and predict
reorder quantities. These reports are monitored so we
can recommend an appropriate course of action. All reports
can be mailed, faxed and accessed on-line. In addition,
we can also provide monthly summary billing by location.
