The Importance of Change in the Print Procurement Industry

Marketing Supply Chain,Print Procurement,Print Production

Changes in an industry, process, job, or even your lifestyle can be stress-inducing. This is especially true when the outcome is unknown and possibly negative. Over a long time we work ourselves into a routine, for better or worse, then we fear anything that disrupts our day-to-day habits. After all, change is disruptive and uncomfortable. […]

As we begin to enter the economic recovery stage of the pandemic, managing your print marketing supply chain effectively will be critical for reengaging with customers and acquiring new ones. While some businesses and organizations found niches in marketing pandemic-related products or services in the past year, others necessarily scaled back on print marketing to […]

Best Quality, Price and Service – Get All Three: Built for the Job

Unfortunately, none of what is required for an organization to manage pre- and post-pricing details and break the Iron Triangle is handled by the methods and tools commonly used in procurement. They simply are not built for managing and sourcing custom print projects. That is why PrintLynxx exists…to do what common procurement solutions can’t. Only […]

Best Quality, Service and Price – Get All Three: Breaking the Iron Triangle

In the previous segments we discussed the importance of managing the many pre- and post-pricing details of custom print projects. Because the ready-made, off-the-shelf goods they are built to buy don’t require the same level of detail; commonly-used procurement methods and tools don’t provide such functionality. That’s unfortunate, because those same functions also set the […]

Best Quality, Service and Price – Get All Three: Post Pricing Details

There isn’t much to be done once the buy is made for off-the-shelf goods. Custom printing, because of it’s made-to-specification nature, requires a lot more attention after the buy is made. This is especially true when achieving the best quality and service are part of the goal. General procurement doesn’t have to account for such […]

Best Quality, Service and Price – Get All Three: Pre-Pricing Details

Procurement methods for common, off-the-shelf items are not built to handle all of the details print projects require before pricing is considered, let alone sought. Management and qualification of vendors, development of intensely detailed specifications and collaboration among key people who are often in very diverse roles are not as critical when sourcing pre-made items […]

Once we feel we have a process in place that accommodates the unique complexities of one of our marketing operations, the next step is to figure out how to make it work. It’s one thing to know what roles, steps, assets and decisions an operation requires. It’s another to make all of the connections, enable […]
