Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd shared results from its partnership with the leading supply chain company Eddie Stobart, to include cost reductions of 35%.
The organisations have worked together in partnership for the last 12 years, primarily focused on Eddie Stobart’s digital transformation strategy. A key objective of their partnership was to support the transition to a paperless office. This has been accelerated by a unified print strategy as well as automation of key processes and an improved document management system. This approach has not only increased efficiencies but has enabled improved cost control across 60 sites, Konica Minolta said.
The first stage in the print transformation journey at Eddie Stobart was working with Konica Minolta to implement a Discovery phase to assess process efficiencies that could be realised in order to improve services but also reduce costs. Key problem areas and manual or paper-based tasks were identified as well as complexities such as managing disparate print contracts and a myriad of different devices. The solution delivered enabled Eddie Stobart to provide a single print infrastructure that spans all of its 60 sites.
Head of Global and Enterprise Sales at Konica Minolta UK, Amanda Walsh, stated: “We always strive to work in partnership with our customers, understand the challenges they face and their main objectives. Our focus is on what our customer’s need to achieve and how we can help make that happen, not simply the technology involved.”
