The Main Concerns in Logistics PrintingThe Main Concerns in Logistics Printing

Logistics services are often managed by automated and integrated order processing and inventory control systems. Orders are processed upon receipt, and they ship within 24 hours.

In other words, logistic systems need to be reliable to fulfill the promise of fast, accurate shipping of your products to anywhere in the world.

When fulfilling customer orders, warehouse documents such as labels, pick tickets, invoices, etc need to be printed on a printer at the end of the logistic process, in real time.

As print volume increases, the single printer model can no longer keep up with the volume of printing, which impacts customer satisfaction, revenue, and profit.


The OM Plus SolutionThe OM Plus Solution

Utilizing OM Plus, you can automatically split the print jobs and load balance them across multiple printers without requiring any changes to the underlying application

You can also ensure that all documents related to a specific customer order stay together in a "bundle" so related documents are not split across multiple printers.

Print fail-over can ensure no orders are missed due to down printers, and help desk personnel are immediately notified of problems to increase the velocity of problem remediation.
