xpedx and EPMS to Integrate Paper Sourcing into Print Management System

SOS Printing, Inc., San Diego, is an offset and digital sheetfed and web printer with 37 employees. It is among the companies that test-drove the new EPMS system featuring integrated real-time data from xpedx.

"Turnarounds are so critical today that if we miss having real time, full certainty on a paper's availability for order, for even half a business day, it plays havoc with our schedule," said Brad Reimers, owner of SOS Printing. "Having accurate paper availability and pricing information makes the difference between smooth and calm production and increased stress of having to look for new solutions to solve an unexpected supply problem. It is another step in becoming a leaner manufacturer."
