Evolv Solutions, LLC

As companies seek to capitalize on the reviving economy, they continue to focus on cost containment to keep them competitive as the market rises from its recessionary doldrums.  Consequently, firms are looking to their supply chains for both process efficiency savings and hard-dollar cost reductions through technological improvements. Printing services and the resultant printed materials (“print”) constitute a considerable chunk of companies’ indirect spending, which represents half of companies’ overall revenues on average. However, print procurement has eluded traditional e-procurement automation because it requires close, careful collaboration among parties inside and outside the company to receive a quality product on time and on budget, and initial catalog-based systems could not support this.

EDOC offers a complete range of supply chain management solutions within the print & output service line.  Because of EDOC's web based model, we can execute critical elements of the supply chain including printed promotional materials management, customized complex kitting, distribution, fulfillment services and simple everyday quick prints.  The future of digital printing demands these services at the most effective and cost efficient service delivery method possible.  EDOC creates this value by helping customers increase their supply chain efficiencies and deliver printed products more cost effectively on a global basis providing the following:

• Improves the customer's print and promotion fulfillment programs.

• A reduction in purchase requisition processing expense by an average of 73%

• A decrease in purchase requisition processing time from 70% to 80%, averaging a week faster

• A 51% decrease in maverick spending

• An average decrease in the price of goods paid of 5% to 10%, from increased use of preferred suppliers

• A reduction in inventory expense from 25% to 50%

• Identify opportunities to reduce total costs

• Accelerate information to market

Large Enterprise

EDOC provides a Web interface accessible to all business areas in your corporation to select, order and customize materials – from personalized marketing collateral to office supplies, all while working with your preferred printers and suppliers.  With EDOC's' e-procurement and print-management solutions, companies are able to reduce costs by ensuring their printing is done with fewer preferred vendors at negotiated rates – or by directing more printing to their internal print centers rather than to outside vendors. Greater volume can easily be driven to select vendors or internal print centers with Web ordering company-wide. In addition, EDOC's’ customers often gain productivity and save money through the streamlined processes and automation a EDOC solution brings. Via a flexible, open platform that complements existing ERP and procurement systems, EDOC's’ Web application gives you the time to make your business communications more customer focused.
