Océ Helps Wolverine Solutions Group Boost Productivity By Up to 50 Percent

Thursday 05. March 2009 - Océ Document Designer Advanced software enables faster turnaround, reduced labor costs and improved customer satisfaction

Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, announced today that Wolverine Solutions Group has boosted productivity by up to 50 percent using Océ Document Designer Advanced software to automate creation of variable data and one-to-one personalized documents. This Detroit-based full-service direct marketing and communications firm specializes in providing regional and national clients with a complete line of direct mail production and document management services.

Now, Wolverine can compose complex personalized documents up to 50 percent faster and more efficiently, resulting in some of the fastest turnaround times in the industry. Today Wolverine Solutions Group is a one-stop source for marketing and advertising agencies, and clients in a wide range of industries, including automotive, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, legal, and financial services. These companies need highly relevant, personalized documents with variable components ranging from a few to several thousand.

“Océ Document Designer Advanced software helps us consistently meet requirements for complex personalized applications with high quality, accuracy and rapid lead times,” said Darryl English, Vice President of Technology for Wolverine Solutions Group. “Productivity is up as much as 40 or 50 percent, in large part because the software is so easy to use, the spooling is so much faster, and initial development is streamlined. Océ Document Designer Advanced software is also helping us increase our competitiveness because we can turn around complex personalized applications more quickly than ever.”

“Océ Document Designer Advanced software has changed the way we work,” English continued. “Instead of building homegrown applications one off on an individual basis or writing code, our developers simply drag and drop the appropriate module to automate the job. As a result, our internal operations are much more efficient, we can make better use of valuable IT resources, and we can turn around complex jobs in a day that once took several days to complete.”

“Our vision is to automate daily processing from start to finish. All of our jobs typically require same-day processing, but members of our IT staff are only here during the day. The end goal is that while people are home sleeping, some of our jobs can be processing automatically. The overall impact of the productivity improvements and real-time processing on customers is that they get their jobs faster – they can drop a file into an FTP site and it’s processed within five minutes instead of four hours later,” English explained.

“The productivity improvements and competitive success that Wolverine Solutions Group is realizing demonstrates how implementing Océ Document Designer Advanced software can add tremendous value to direct mail and communications processes. By simplifying document composition and accelerating turnaround, Wolverine Solutions Group delivers a higher level of customer service and, in turn, works more efficiently, reduces costs, and makes better use of resources,” said Eric De Goeijen, Vice President of Marketing, Océ North America.
