According to Aberdeen Research of the £94.5bn spent annually on print in Europe between 25% and 30% is wasted through manual ordering processes, poor procurement practices and supply chain inefficiencies.

The 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review is further putting pressure on the public sector and Government Offices to improve standards and drive better value for money procurement. As a consequence, many not-for-profit organisations are adopting Print Spend Management solutions.

By deploying Claritum's Print Spend Management significant, sustainable and measurable value for money can be achieved from a combination of price reductions, process improvements and minimised wastage, avoiding costly and disruptive outsourcing.

The solution streamlines print workflow and communications with customers and suppliers via an end-to-end secure trading platform for marketing print, point of sale, direct mail and personalised print, meaning improved standards and value for money.

Organisations benefit from a collaborative approach to supplier management by aggregating spend across organisations to drive savings. Claritum acts as a common system across multiple departments, for recording what has been purchased, at what price, and from whom, as well as ranking and rating the performance of suppliers.

The tried and tested Claritum platform integrates with most leading procurement and finance platforms and has been engineered for large-scale use.
