CHALLENGE

Marketing Operations and Procurement were challenged with supporting their Marketing, Sales, Training, and Corporate literature needs.

They first attempted to simplify and centralize their content fulfillment process, which included a “cheap ecommerce system” that gave their sales team an easy way to order. This was functional, but as they continued to grow– sped through acquisition– it became harder to scale to meet the demands of their business.

In order to meet demand, a small Marketing Operations team juggled 10+ print and warehousing vendors. Balancing vendors, working around a long time-to-market, international logistics, manual order entry/processing, reporting and billing, and high costs became too difficult to handle.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Marketing Operations and Procurement partnered to evaluate potential solutions. Mimeo was selected to become the “sole source printing and print logistics provider.” The Mimeo technology advantage combined with comprehensive service and global reach made it a “no brainer.”
