WorkflowOne Awarded Kodak Certified Status
Thursday 18. September 2008 - Wins Multi-year Contract for Promotional Marketing Solutions and Recognized for Outstanding Service, High Performance Levels and Quality Management at Kodak
WorkflowOne, one of the nations leading providers of managed print and promotional product services, announced today that Kodak has awarded the company the prestigious Kodak Certified Supplier Status and granted WorkflowOne a three-year contract to be its preferred supplier of promotional marketing solutions. The Kodak Certified Status gives WorkflowOne the right to design and produce Kodak-branded promotional products for the companys trade shows, customer marketing efforts and events it co-sponsors with NASCAR, the PGA Tour and others. WorkflowOne was selected for its best-in-class product and service levels, creative product and campaign design, lead-time performance and quality management as well as its unique dual network that combines both outsourced services and its own manufacturing platforms.
“WorkflowOne isnt just a supplier to Kodak, theyre a partner,” said Jeffrey Hayzlett, Chief Business Development Officer and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. “They bring as many ideas to us as we think of ourselves, always stepping forward with Kodak in mind and Kodak first. Everything WorkflowOne offers is best-in-class, so we always know things are done right and done the Kodak way.”
Kodak first sought WorkflowOnes promotional product expertise in 2007 to redesign and restock two of its company store locations in time for the holiday season. The result was “First Impressions,” two separate and hybrid retail operations where employees and visitors can purchase Kodak-branded merchandise onsite, as well as place larger orders through computer kiosks with e-commerce-enabled storefronts developed by WorkflowOne. The stores have now become valuable assets to Kodak employees who use it to purchase individual gifts and giveaway items for the numerous events that Kodak participates in annually.
Kodak will take advantage of WorkflowOnes unique dual network, which combines world-class outsourcing and internal fulfillment capabilities with managed services expertise, all supported by the companys proprietary technology. The result is a “best-fit solution” for Kodak that generates substantial savings that go straight to the companys bottom line.
“Its an honor to be entrusted to help manage a brand thats a global icon,” said Scott Berry, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of WorkflowOne. “By aggregating Kodaks promotional marketing spend and providing advice from design to delivery, were able to generate new efficiencies and create substantial savings that will benefit Kodak as they redefine and enhance their brand that is known in virtually every country around the world.”
