Driving cost savings through innovation Better utilization of people and spend
Case Study

Driving cost savings through innovation

CHALLENGE

A major airline sought to extend a program's budget in a way that would maintain design integrity while reducing costs for the reinvestment of savings into additional marketing campaigns.

SOLUTION/BENEFITS

Continuum examined the characteristics of the control and vetted the previously quoted cost structure through their supply chain. The result realized an immediate 12% net procurement savings without changing anything.

Additionally, our on-site team engineered a series of innovations that included simple yet methodical modifications to the control, which reduced costs without compromising the integrity of the design.

  • Page count reduction eliminated one of the signatures
  • Paper weight reduction without compromising perceived value
  • Bindery simplification that simulated existing format but significantly reduced manufacturing costs and cycles, therefore, increasing speed to market

Continuum achieved a 19.25% savings on this program. As a result, the modifications will deliver an annual projected savings of almost $1 million.

Case Study

Better utilization of people and spend

CHALLENGE

At a high-end outdoor retailer's company, individual departments were responsible for their area's print and secondary packaging procurement and management. As the retailer grew, this decentralized approach led to several challenges.

  • Staff unable to focus on core strengths
  • Over-reliance on suppliers
  • Lack of control and visibility on company-wide print and packaging spend
  • Inconsistent processes and lack of new design/format ideation coming into company
  • Lack of time and specific expertise to source effectively
SOLUTION/BENEFITS

Upon engagement, Continuum conducted an assessment and then developed a tailored print management solution to address the company-wide print and packaging spend.

  • A centralized, dedicated team comprised of off-site and on-site resources supporting stakeholders within each business segment
  • A transparent, open-book relationship with contractually-guaranteed procurement savings
  • Access to marketing production experts with new ideation and value engineering
  • Staff can focus on core competencies and reduce time to market

Next, with your input, we develop a custom solution and implementation plan based on the pre-stated goals and savings targets which we present to you and your executive team.

Lastly, we launch your custom print management solution. We become your company's embedded print management partner, overseeing and implementing your print management function.
