The printing industry has been around for hundreds of years. With innovation and technology changing the landscape of printing companies, commercial printing is no longer just a process of getting a quote, running proofs and delivering a job. Now commercial printers are offering a vast array of different services, production models and products. Cerqa’s print management services streamline and simplify the entire printing workflow.

Is your commercial printing company evolving with technology? With the ongoing improvement in core printing technologies and software your current printer may be falling behind. It’s more then just being able to produce work on different hardware such as offset presses, digital presses and large format presses; now commercial printers need to be able to bring all of these technologies together on one platform. Print management services do exactly this.

Cerqa’s print management services incorporate much more than just the production of your products. With our web-based technology you can get real-time feedback on exactly where you are in the different phases of the production. Additionally, our systems can automatically determine the most cost effective way for production and route to the appropriate hardware. With advanced online ordering capabilities, budget management, approval workflows and the ability to extend your desired personalization levels you get to automate a lot of the daily tasks of ordering printed materials.

Aside from the streamlining of your print procurement and production; commercial printing companies also need to be able to provide services like kitting and assembly, high-volume order fulfillment, inventory management, procurement and much more. Cerqa was founded over 20 years ago as one of the best local commercial printing companies. Since then we have evolved into a complete global supply chain management company that acts as an extension of your team – whether you need marketing, procurement, production, or inventory management services.

How can you align your operations in order to produce the most growth? Sometimes you need to find internal solutions, and other times you need to look externally, i.e. outsource.

These days, more and more businesses are utilizing third party supply chain management companies to aid with some or all of their supply chains.
