ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN. — Nubeprint, the MPS technology vendor, wants to add clarity to the discussion about the reliability of the JiT consumables supply, and to secure the industry in the sense that auto-fulfillment is already a reality that many dealers and distributors have been enjoying for the last 5 years.
During the last year we have seen some contradictory messages in the field related to auto-fulfillment or JiT (as some call it now) orders using MPS technology. It is generating confusion among the companies already in MPS or with plans to enter this business. Nubeprint wants to add clarity to this discussion, and to secure the industry in the sense that auto-fulfillment is already a reality that many dealers and distributors have been enjoying for the last 5 years.
In November 2014, a known software vendor created big doubts of the possibility to have an automated JiT process for orders of printer and copier consumables. He published an article with the following statement: “The trouble with this promise is that the process is a lot more complicated than people realize when they make it.(…)” Later in the same document it explains “some of the most common impediments to a good JIT program”.
Recently, a different software vendor has notified their initiating a project to figure out how to build a JiT technology, in combination with an MPS consulting firm.
Nubeprint wants to state that the auto-fulfillment is not a promise, but a reality. Without the automation of the order fulfillment, a dealer that manages 1,000 printers can’t simply be cost efficient if he has to manually check and process the more than 12,000 cartridges that he will be likely to ship in a year.
Such are the benefits of fully automating the order fulfillment process that, in joined effort with our customers, Nubeprint is already triggering their orders automatically in 100% of our large and medium customers, and 40% of the smaller dealer customers. Nubeprint Connector does not impose any technical barrier and all links are done effortless.
It is Nubeprint interest and the market interest in general, to ensure that all dealers, no matter what their size is, have the capacity to manage their MPS contracts and be profitable in this business.
Therefore, thank you guys for joining us on making MPS a business in which the dealers can really make good margin! And, until you have your product available, let’s make sure that your customers know that they already have it available with Nubeprint.
