Tiny Digital Shop Goes Head to Head with Vendors and Wins 50% More of Company's Printing
On any given day you might find the tiny, three-person digital shop for PMSLIC Insurance Company racing around in fast forward printing billing statements, compiling direct-mail packets and producing course books. But that's just a small part of the day to day activities of this versatile in-house operation in Mechanicsburg, PA, that produces approximately 2 million clicks annually for Pennsylvania's medical liability insurance carrier for healthcare providers.
Today about 90% of the company's printing, folding/inserting, inkjet addressing, cutting and tabbing is handled internally. But just a few years ago, only about 40% of the work was handled in-house.
In-Plant Manager Shari Carter confides that initially it was a little unsettling when NORCAL, an insurance organization located in California, Rhode Island and Alaska, became their parent company because it had outsourced all of its printing and mailing. It wasn't long before the digital copy shop started competing against external vendors with presses and began winning. Thanks to some new upgrades, they hope to bring all of the company's printing in-house in the next couple of years.
