8 B2B Online Print Store Conversation Starters
It’s likely that your print shop has a number of corporate customers with standard business documents and that they reprint these projects a few to several times a year. Often it’s a straight reprint; other times it’s a minor change — a new name for the business card, an address change, a date change. Each time you manually process these jobs, you are adding cost.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have these jobs make it through your shop without any manual touches? It is possible —it’s a B2B print-procurement center from Prisme Technologies.
If you think you’re not ready to add online print ordering to your shop’s services, try these eight conversation starters with your clients. The results may surprise you.

these eight conversation starters with your clients. The results may surprise you.
3. Do you want an easy, online way to order and
re-order your print jobs?
With a PrintSYS B2B store, your clients will have a private, branded site where their
corporate documents are preloaded and ready for ordering. Pricing and proofing are
provided on the fly.
4. Do you need to order print jobs —
any time of day (or night)?
PrintSYS Catalog is a Software as a Managed Service (SaaMS). This means that it is
instant on and always available to you and to your customers — day and night, and
that Prisme Technologies manages the system for you.
Add a connection to your MIS and print orders can be processed completely lights out.
Reduced touch means reduced cost and more profit for you.
5. Do your employees need to order print jobs —
but you worry about changes they might make
to branded logos, colors, and content?
PrintSYS Catalog provides management of your client’s business documents. Templates
are created based upon your customer’s requirements. Areas can be pre-defined as
editable regions that permit customization while other items such as color, logos, and
content can be locked to protect the corporate image and brand identity.
If approvals are required, as many as five layers of authorization can be established.
6. Do you need to upload files for print —
any time of day?
When you add the PrintSYS PrintShare service, your customers can also
upload PDF, JPG, GIF, and other documents they need for print projects that
are not included in their catalog.
7. Do you need to order when out of the office,
meeting with clients, or attending events?
PrintSYS is a cloud-based managed service — which means it’s available 24/7 from
any internet connection, the world over.
Clients can order from home, office, or anywhere else and with full access to their
corporate documents. They can even start an order at the office and finish the work
some other time from some other location.
8. Do you need to hire a designer
to make even simple edits?
As a cloud-based managed service, Prisme Technologies’ team is there when you need
them. Our design team will create and post your client’s business documents, ready for
them to use. As allowed by their document administrator, documents can be edited and
when done, order and receive an online proof.
With PrintSYS there is no capital investment in IT infrastructure required — you don’t
need to increase your design or programming staff — we manage everything for you.
9. Do you need pricing — even afterhours?
With pre-loaded documents in the PrintSYS Catalog store, pricing is easy. The client
simply chooses the document and quantity and pricing is calculated dynamically and
displayed immediately.
The client can make changes to the quantity and watch as the price is recalculated.
PrintSYS PrintShare can even provide a quote to your customers on uploaded jobs once
the job requirements have been defined.
10. Do you need an online proof — right away?
PDF proofs are generated on the fly when any order is placed from the PrintSYS
Catalog. Proofs can be approved online, enabling you to start printing right away.
If your customer has requested a quote and proof through PrintSYS PrintShare,
you can post the proof to SharePoint (bi-directional FTP site) for the customer’s
review and approval.
