Case Studies

Public Sector

Annual Print Spend £30,000

 

Business Stationery

and Business cards

 

This Public Sector organisation operates from 20 offices around the world. Prior to the introduction of Zingpod, print requirements for the organisation were processed in an ad-hoc fashion. This often resulted in deadlines being missed and late deliveries due to a breakdown in the order-proof-approve cycle.

 

The Solution - Zingpod

Zing were asked to suggest a solution that would:

  • Eliminate breakdown in the order - proof - approve cycle
  • Reduce turnaround time from the current suppliers target of 2 weeks
  • Provide a quantifiable reduction in cost of 3% or greater
  • Fix prices for a 6 month period
  • Provide a trackable delivery system
  • Provide a system that would allow for a supervisor to approve any orders raised by admin

 

The implementation of Zingpod delivered on all of these requirements and resulted in:

 

  • Peace of mind that the order had been acknowledged as received after the proof had been approved as part of the order process
  • An agreed dispatch target of 5 working days
  • A direct cost reduction of 17% against the previous preferred supplier

 

Medium Size Company

Annual Print Spend £75,000 - £100,000

 

Business stationery, business cards, presentation folders, sales/marketing literature, promotional gifts and business forms

 

This medium size organisation operates throughout the UK and Ireland from a network of 25 outlets. Prior to using Zingpod individual branches were supplied with the company logo and left to source the majority of print supplies locally. This led to inconsistencies in the quality of materials sourced and more importantly extreme variations in colour leading to an erosion of the company brand.

 

The Solution - Zingpod

Zing were asked to suggest a solution that would:

 

  • Maintain brand consistency
  • Minimise variations in colour and materials
  • Provide turnaround within an agreed 5 day period
  • Fix prices for a period of 6 months
  • Allow branches to pay online
  • Provide head office with a detailed reporting and order analysis
  • Minimise opportunities for typing mistakes
  • Provide an instant proofing solution
  • Reduce waste by offering small order quantities
  • Track delivery information
  • Automate the order confirmation and dispatch email notification

 

The implementation of Zingpod delivered on all of these requirements and resulted in:

 

  • Shorter lead time from placing the order to receiving the printed goods (3-5 working days)
  • Improved brand consistency throughout the group
  • Accurate colour reproduction across the complete suite of printed items
  • Annual indirect cost savings in excess of £30,000
  • Improved environmental performance through the use of F.S.C approved papers 
  • A system of 25 templates
