Complis® provides an integrated, end-to-end solution to help print management companies manage every aspect of outsourced print procurement on behalf of their clients whilst offering their clients added value services.

Increasingly, especially with second and third generation print management contracts, the ability to provide further savings is a major challenge.

Through the development of an end-to-end procurement and marketing solution Complis® greatly reduces transaction costs through the streamlining of previously labour intensive workflows.

Powerful built in reports allow Print Managers to provide real-time management information to enable correct decision making, thereby reducing stock obsolescence, streamlining business processes, and identifying ways to improve profitability based on factual information.

Complis® provides seamless management of your stock.

When call-off orders are raised Complis® provides you with real-time stock availability and then routes your requirements to the correct warehouse for fulfilment. Many online ordering solutions do not have direct access to live stock, but as Complis® is a single solution, it controls the stock as well as the real-time allocation of that stock to the orders for fulfilment.

Stock ownership is also managed seamlessly by Complis®, allowing stock to be invoiced on receipt or on despatch and for any aged stock to be recharged at the click of a button. Complis® also ensures that you don’t forget to charge for aged stock - reminders will automatically be sent to the product manager in advance.

To keep everything on track, anything that goes into stock is labelled and recorded in Complis®, as a result these items can only be moved, picked or dispatched by scanning the correct item. This applies to stock at your suppliers or external warehousing too – giving you full control and peace of mind.

Barcoded stock locations, batch labels and picking notes ensure that all stock is received, moved and picked correctly, with verification of all transactions to avoid miss-picks. The despatching of orders can also be seamlessly integrated with your couriers to ensure that you only enter information once. This also provides tracking feedback with proof of delivery information available to you and your customers.

Complis® stores and manages accreditations, key company information and capabilities. It monitors supplier performance enabling Supplier Managers to strategically define, classify, and measure across a diverse supply base.

Supplier Managers rely on their strategic supplier network - Complis® supports continuous improvement initiatives through constant monitoring, reporting and analysis of key supplier performance.

All your supplier details integrate seamlessly into the day-to-day procurement process ensuring only certified and approved suppliers can be used. This helps you adhere to regulations whilst adopting best practices that cut costs and risk without additional administration.

Research conducted by the Aberdeen Group shows that best-in-class systems, such as Complis®, typically saves customers on average 23% of their previous spend by adopting easy-to-use best practice techniques and significantly reducing administrative tasks.

With built in supply chain intelligence and by interacting directly with suppliers, Complis® helps speed up your procurement process and prevent costly mistakes.

Organisations today need instant access to information and Complis® enables this using its powerful document management solution. It integrates with a range of document scanning systems and enables users to remotely access documents as scanned images (even if there are millions of them), which have been indexed for instant retrieval.

Complis® Document Management does this by:

• Automatically uploading documents once they have been scanned to the secure Complis® document archive
• Indexing the images using Metadata provided by the scanning software for instant search
• Automatically creating a thumbnail image of the documents, which remote users can review
• Allowing users to search on unique metadata e.g. name, unique reference, account code, date or keyword searches to find the relevant document
• Providing secure remote user access to the archive via a secure Complis® user login
• Creating page turning pdfs to simplify searching of multipage documents

The Complis® document management solution is used by a wide range of industries including Financial Services, HR and major UK and international charities to manage the end-to-end receipt and processing of charitable donation responses.

Complis® document management is an automatically scalable solution which removes customer concerns about storage space or the volume of documents they use. We hold many millions of images which are instantly retrievable at any time, day or night.

Access to each client’s archives is managed using secure user logins and all client’s archives are segregated to avoid unauthorised access.

Our solution complies with PCI DSS and the Fundraising Code of Practice requirements in relation to storage sensitive personal data and specific data is redacted at the point of scanning to prevent unauthorised access.

Campaigns can be managed in Complis® as projects, with client briefs, budgets, tasks, estimates, and more, all in one place. These can then be viewed, reported, and managed collectively providing a fast and efficient way to keep you on track.

Automatic progress chasing and escalation processes save you time and keep things moving, even when you are on the move.

The challenge to centralise, search and distribute assets is key. With a Complis® DAM you can securely access your files and collaborate easily with other stakeholder.

As well as the efficiencies of being able to access everything in the same place - all your assets and data work together. Your artwork links to the product specifications which links to stock history, so you have an instant audit trail of who purchased each product, where from, which version of artwork was used and where all the goods were sent to.

The Complis® Content Management System (CMS) is completely integrated with other parts of Complis®, such as Digital Asset Management, Web2Print and procurement. It gives you the ability to make changes in one place which automatically updates all media. Replacing an image in Complis® will automatically update content pages, email broadcasts, artwork and Web2Print templates.

We’re making everyone’s lives a lot easier by utilising best in class Adobe InDesign for Complis®’ built in DAM to create your artwork ready for instant proofing. No more stress on design departments; templates can be set up for any artwork and ordered online using Complis®.
