Original Press Release:
Ken Cook Co. Announces Breakthrough Technology
MILWAUKEE, WI, April 3, 2006 - Ken Cook Co. introduces media1off(TM), a breakthrough technology that transforms product literature fulfillment from a cost center into a profitable business solution.
This innovative technology combines on-demand printing with e-commerce functionality to deliver product literature, technical documentation and print communications from a custom-designed web-based bookstore - eliminating expensive warehousing costs and idle inventory . . . while it generates revenue in online literature sales.
No need to print expensive quantities of regulatory-mandated literature, service manuals, maintenance manuals, parts lists, repair books, sales sheets, technical data or safety documentation and store them in a warehouse for possible future use. media1off(TM) lets you order, print and ship any quantity right from your desktop.
On-demand . . .
Manufacturer's dealers, distributors, consumers and employees can order as little as a single document from the web bookstore or, as many as required for high priority projects. "The automated process reduces the amount of order administration and time-to-market that a manual process requires," explains John Jost, Ken Cook Co. director of software solutions. "With media1off(TM), ordering is easy, fast and can even be downloaded instantly as a PDF." After a document file is selected, the user can choose how the information is delivered such as: a printed manual, electronic file on CD/DVD or an immediate PDF download. media1off(TM) fully automates print-on-demand and burn-on-demand processes.
On the web . . .
Available 24/7 at the click of a mouse, the media1off(TM) solution allows creation and hosting of an electronic library offsite to store product literature files for easy access. "Whenever a new document is created or an existing one revised, media1off(TM) automatically retrieves the most current file and places it within the library so only the most current product information is available," said Jost. "A custom web bookstore is developed to process orders for product literature. The bookstore will seamlessly integrate within a corporate website, making it easy for dealers, distributors, consumers and employees to find and use. It will appear as if literature is ordered directly from your company."
The custom website solution has standard e-commerce features such as an intelligent search engine, secure credit card processing and auto-calculated shipping, handling and sales tax. Advanced features can also be included such as variable user and pricing tiers, remote administration access, report generation and web-based subscription services.
On time . . .
When using traditional fulfillment processes, orders could take seven to 10 days to fulfill. With media1off(TM), all orders are custom-built and produced just-in-time. Due to the efficient automation feature of media1off(TM), most orders are processed, produced and shipped the same day an order is received. In critical situations such as equipment failure, a service manual could be downloaded within minutes, saving a company thousands of dollars in lost revenue. media1off(TM) offers a variety of convenient shipping options, including expedited next day air to help meet tight deadlines.
