THE SITUATION
An international software company conducts training and certification classes worldwide. They needed classroom materials printed, bound and delivered to the hosting destination in time for scheduled training. Current distribution from a single printing location added cost and time. Training materials would not always reach the destination on time. Additionally, instructors and clients needed a more efficient method of ordering materials and
specifying the date needed.
THE SOLUTION
Agilaire evaluated their needs, and implemented the following:
- Created a website where the instructor/client could order materials and specify the class date. The order would
automatically adjust priority and shipping method to match the date needed.
- Set up a distributed manufacturing model, printing in the region where the class was being held: USA, Europe, Asia and Australia.
This resulted in reduced shipping costs and guaranteed success in getting materials to any class destination in time. It also made it much easier to collect shipping history, product usage and other information valuable for tracking and billing.

streamline our global training materials.
After working with them, we now have an
on-line ordering system for our documents
that get manufactured around the world
depending on our specific locations and
needs. Their ability to understand complex
logistical challenges and find cost-saving
solutions is very impressive."
