Many printing companies today thrive in a competitive market by going beyond traditional offerings. They diversified their services, not only by expanding the range of print products but also by adding complementary services. Warehousing is one such value-added service that enhances customer convenience and strengthens client relationships. By managing inventory and logistics for their clients, printing companies can position themselves as one-stop partners for both creative and logistical needs.

The company's use of Apogee StoreFront, ECO3's web-to-print platform, is a critical component of its warehousing service.

Flisa Trykkeri exemplifies this evolution. Established in 1913, the Norwegian printing company has grown to employ 40 skilled professionals. Their portfolio includes offset and digital printing, large-format solutions, promotional items and design services. Recognizing the changing demands of the industry, Flisa Trykkeri has also invested in warehousing and logistics. This allows them to store and manage stock for their customers, providing seamless access to both printed materials and physical products under one roof.

To streamline its warehousing operations, Flisa Trykkeri employs Ongoing WMS, a robust web-based warehouse management system. Selected for its openness and seamless data exchange capabilities, Ongoing WMS supports the diverse needs of Flisa's logistics services. It integrates easily with third-party web shops and handles complex workflows, such as managing stock for both print-on-demand products and physical inventory. The system's flexibility has significantly reduced operational costs and enables Flisa Trykkeri to efficiently control stock levels, rental logistics and order flows, all from a single platform.

The company's use of Apogee StoreFront, ECO3's web-to-print platform, is a critical component of its warehousing service. This cloud-based e-commerce solution enables clients to order print and non-print products from customized online shops. A major advantage of the platform is its integrated Online Editor, which allows customers to personalize or localize print publications—a feature highly requested by Flisa's clients.

ECO3 and Ongoing worked closely to integrate Apogee StoreFront with Ongoing WMS to ensure that multiple ordering flows for stock products function flawlessly. Stock counters across both platforms are synchronized in real-time, reducing the risk of errors like overselling or delays due to discrepancies. Accurate inventory tracking is vital to maintaining customer trust and operational efficiency. When a customer places an order in an Apogee StoreFront shop, the ordered quantities are instantly updated in Ongoing WMS. This ensures that stock levels are accurate for both online and offline orders. Furthermore, the integration provides shipping teams with all the data needed to fulfill orders efficiently. The connection streamlines operations and reduces manual interventions, minimizing errors and saving time.

"The biggest advantage of the integration between Apogee StoreFront and Ongoing WMS is that it allows us to deliver both print and physical products together in a single streamlined solution. This simplifies our processes, enhances customer satisfaction, and ensures that our team can manage complex orders without issues", say Lars Erik Hedstrøm, Head of Prepress & IT Manag.

By combining the capabilities of ECO3's Apogee StoreFront and Ongoing WMS, Flisa Trykkeri has created a seamless system that caters to the modern needs of its customers. This integration enables them to efficiently manage both print and logistics, ensuring smooth operations and enhanced customer satisfaction. Their approach demonstrates that innovation in logistics and technology is just as critical to success as excellence in printing expertise.
