Key benefits

Cost reduction & process compliance

Organisation wide print spend visibility

Captures print spend across entire organisations (multi-site, international, third party purchasing eg agencies). This enables visibility and effective measurement of actual spend.

Control and optimise procurement processes

Ensures organisation-wide compliance to approved processes for managing print spends, optimises processes and ensures purchasing guidelines are adhered to. Eliminates opportunity to purchase from non-rostered or 'not optimum' suppliers, captures the cost of purchasing from 'most convenient', local or historical suppliers.

Purchasing leverage through contract compliance

With complete visibility of the organisations entire print spend, procurement can leverage greater spend with suppliers to drive further cost reduction and efficiencies.

Lower supplier costs / collaborative process optimisation

By controlling and monitoring spend with approved suppliers and optimising collaborative processes, cost can be further reduced. For example, reducing the estimating burden on print suppliers through matrix pricing, a centralised pre-press process removing the need for printer repro costs or a direct supply agreement for paper (typically accounts for 30% of print cost and has printer markup applied).

Typically 40-80% administration reduction

Claritum automates the procurement, management and payment of print resulting in reduced administration. Typical savings of up to 80% on the RFQ process, simpler management of suppliers and transparency of information. Real time management reporting to reduce time processing reports for line managers. Claritum can reduce invoice reconciliation for accounts payable.

Reduces errors, obsolescence, wastage & rush charges

Fewer re-keying errors, reduced need for excessive print runs; fewer rush charges by better adherence to deadlines. Optimisation of stock levels and predicting re-orders. Reduced delivery costs.

Improved brand compliance

By centrally producing and managing brand compliant artwork templates, users can quickly and easily produce customised and personalised print, without the need for repeated approvals.
