Business success demands new processes and technologies

Print Sampler opens Vault 101 to streamlined document workflow and secures cost savings

Vault 101 is a highly successful e-commerce company trading via eBay and Amazon providing high quality body jewellery and has gone through rapid growth over the last few years. The rapid growth in order volumes presented a challenge, so they were looking for a way to change the way they processed and printed orders.

The Challenge

Handling various input sources proves a challenge

Each store front produced orders in varying formats leading to labelling paper having to be processed through the printer a number of times.

Multi-step workflow was very time consuming

Templates for 1st, 2nd and international postage had to be printed before being returned to the printer to have order details added. Once printed the item was picked, the label was peeled off and stuck on the envelope ready for delivery into the postal system. With a large number of orders, a mixture of templates and postage sheets the process was not only time consuming but complex and costly. 

The Solution

Powerful document template management and automation

The solution for Vault 101’ was Print Sampler from MPI Tech. Print Sampler not only incorporates a powerful template management solution but additional functionalities to split and index documents on a rules based system.

Print Sampler analyses each invoice dynamically to distinguish the type of document and mailing selected (1st, 2nd, or international) and adds the correct template for eBay and Amazon.

Printing and archiving in one process

All these features are standard within Print Sampler and require no additional scripting. The setup and configuration can all be carried out via a simple to use GUI enabling Vault 101 to make changes as their business continues to flourish.
