Case Studies- Petrochemical
Challenge:
The Oil and Gas industry in Canada is a dynamic enterprise, constantly changing and adopting to market, environmental, regulatory and operational volatility. From exploration and development, through to retail sales and marketing, the business depends on effective and efficient document communications. The DATA Group has the privilege of working with the vast majority of companies in this sector of the Canadian economy, providing print and print management services to such well known companies as Shell Canada, Suncor Energy (Petro-Canada), Schlumberger, Precision Drilling, Gibson Petroleum and Dow Chemicals. In almost all cases, these clients were looking for an effective partner in managing their printing requirements using best practices to streamline production, maintain visual identity, reduce cost and improve access and distribution of their document collateral to end users andcustomers.
Solution:
Our services are customized for each client, depending on their specific requirements, including the production, inventory management and requisitioning of printed products such as point of sale (POS) rolls, forms, digital print, commercial print, variable printing, mailing services and fulfillment. In almost all cases, the inventory is managed through DATA's warehouse systems across the country, where requisitions are received, consolidated and delivered directly to the end users as required. In the case of Shell Canada and Suncor Energy, DATA operates on-site digital printing service centers, providing users with walk up access to central reprographic facilities, staffed and managed by experienced and dedicated DATA personnel. Our entire range of services can be fully accessed on-line for requisitioning, real time reporting and centralized or direct billing using our leading edge e-commerce solution, The DATA Document Manager, customized at no additional charge for each of our clients.
