Delivering managed print to online retailer, AO

Challenge

AO, one of the UK’s top online retailers, operates a vast, fast-paced e-commerce platform that spans multiple sites and distribution centres. Their ability to provide super-fast, reliable delivery is essential to maintaining a competitive edge and ensuring a positive customer experience. However, managing the paperwork associated with warehousing, dispatch, and customer orders posed a significant challenge for their 24/7 operations.

AO needed a Managed Print Solution that could handle high volumes of critical documents – such as delivery slips, dispatch confirmations, and customer invoices -across multiple locations. This system had to be automated to reduce manual errors, speed up document processing, and ensure that paperwork would never slow down their logistics operation.
