IPG Group’s BASE collaborative document workflow and compliance driven platform is quite simply the most proficient technology available for a company to host, build-out, maintain, update and order branded collateral. Everything from business cards to your entire stationery suite, signage to promotional products and all levels of your sales and marketing collateral can be managed on your customized web to print portal.

Purchasing and processing of printed or branded collateral is labor intensive, costly, and quite often very inefficient. One example to share is a typical “14¢ data sheet ” can actually cost 44¢, when the time involving proofing, ordering, waste, storage, fulfillment, obsolescence and other hidden factors are taken into account. In many cases, the cost of managing print and branded collateral exceeds the cost of the consumables themselves several times over. This mismanagement adds to your printed material cost, eats away at your budget and reduces your bottom line profits. 

  • The platform saves an incredible amount of time – A recent study analyzed how long it takes to find artwork, have it updated, proof it, and place the order. The results determined that an average order can exceed $75 in just processing time. The BASE platform reduces this soft cost to under $5.

  • It’s easy to use – BASE utilizes a shopping cart feature so it is no different than ordering from your favorite e-tailers.

  • One invoice every month – Instead of multiple invoices monthly, you are provided one invoice with a spreadsheet detailing each order and all appropriate data.

  • Full reporting features – Your portal comes complete with a built-in suite of reporting functions that allows you to see, at a glance, what you are spending by product, when orders were placed and who placed them. Additionally, order status and tracking capabilities can be incorporated.

  • Scalability – Your fully customized document and product management print store is personalized to your firm’s need and evolves with your business needs.
