Over the past few years, print shops and fulfillment houses have seen a change in the way their clients do business. Instead of large print runs, companies are choosing more cost effective print-on-demand batches and smaller fulfillment shipments. As a result, the print shops and fulfillment houses have had to change they way they ship to their customers. They need the flexibility to send smaller batches and need to offer their customers more choice. By making the process electronic, Streamline’s customers can achieve higher efficiencies and experience cost savings.

As part of the partnership, Streamline Solutions will integrate Kewill’s Clippership shipping management applications and TracerX integration software into its ‘clients core functionality for automating multi-carrier compliance, including rating, routing, bar code labeling, and electronic manifesting. Kewill’s TracerX middleware software also will allow these customers to integrate Kewill applications with virtually any other enterprise application.

Kewill will supply a vital ingredient in our plans to offer a total e-Fulfillment solution through our PrintStream business and production management applications, said Laurence Snyder, president of Streamline Solutions. The combination of these two solutions extends the value of what Streamline Solutions is delivering to customers by enabling them to optimize efficiencies throughout their fulfillment operations, improve customer service, while ultimately maximizing profitability.

By integrating Kewill’s market-leading shipping applications with the PrintStream solution, the combination provides the printing and fulfillment markets with a powerful e-Fulfillment solution to address complex shipping requirements and shortened order-to-delivery cycle, said Bob Malley, president of Kewill E Commerce.
