LONDON, UK—08/17/2010—InfoPrint Solutions Company, a Ricoh company, today announced that Transactis has chosen InfoPrint as its software and services partner as it transitions to an Automated Document Factory (ADF) environment for its transaction and TransPromo statement and direct mail printing and posting.
“Based on our successful partnership with InfoPrint over the last four years, we chose InfoPrint’s professional services team with the confidence they can deliver the high quality solution, services and support required,” said Martyn Viquerat, director of document solutions, Transactis. “By automating and controlling our entire print and mail document environment we aim to reduce costs and improve the effectiveness of our operations to keep us ahead of the competition.”
InfoPrint provides the transaction printing solution for Transactis’ clients including Avis and Shop Direct Group (SDG), the UK’s leading home shopping organisation with over 5 million customers and sales of £1.7bn. The Transactis environment leverages duplex InfoPrint 5000 colour inkjet systems, InfoPrint’s ADF control software and Exstream software to output 3.6 million multi-page, statement images and documents each week. InfoPrint also provides preventative maintenance and supports the entire environment including pre- and post equipment to ensure high availability.
Using Transactis expertise and InfoPrint technology, Transactis now delivers effective consumer marketing campaigns that link to fully personalised web pages created on-the-fly, generating offers based on customer insight. By combining data, graphics and colour digital printing, Transactis personalises each customer statement depending on the status of their account and incorporating relevant product offer images and any relevant debt letters.
The new InfoPrint workflow solution will manage the InfoPrint 5000s, four monochrome InfoPrint 4100s, two Xerox DocuTech180 highlight colour cut-sheet printers and mailroom equipment from Pitney Bowes.
“This customer win underscores our influential position in the print-to-mail automation sector as indicated in a US study from IDC* earlier this year where 68 percent of respondents receive their ADF solutions from InfoPrint,” said Theresa Lang, managing director, InfoPrint UK. “Transactis has continued to innovate and position itself as a leader in the precision marketing space. Automating its operations is the next step in its evolution to ensure it delivers a premier service to its clients.”
