Communisis signs five year communications deal with Wolseley UK

17 June 2010

 

Marketing services provider Communisis has signed a five year contract with Wolseley UK, part of Wolseley plc, the world’s largest distributor of plumbing, heating and building products.

Communisis will provide Wolseley UK with a full end-to-end communications solution, incorporating scanning, indexing, document composition, personalised transactional and payroll documentation and postage.

Wolseley UK will obtain improved cost efficiencies and communication effectiveness through the deployment of market leading HP Exstream technology for composition. This will enable a future migration to a ‘white paper’ solution which will deliver the ability to incorporate highly personalised messaging through a multi-channel output.

The five year deal underpins the successful long-term relationship between Communisis and Wolseley UK, for whom Communisis already provides a full print management solution that includes base stock, envelopes and payslips and delivers a next day service to more than 1,500 locations, with more than 300 stock lines, via a bespoke on-line system.

Susannah Smith, Indirect Procurement Manager - Business Services at Wolseley UK commented:

“After researching the marketplace, we chose Communisis because of its proven ability to deliver the best solution to improve and streamline communication processes. We wanted to engage with a transactional communications specialist who could make available to us current and future market leading technologies, to ensure added value through the term of our relationship. Communisis’ intelligence-driven communications provides a platform for future innovation and efficiencies aligned to our communication strategy.”

Andy Blundell, Chief Executive at Communisis added:

“Wolseley is the market leader in its field and a huge player in the industry. We are delighted to announce the further development of our long-term relationship, which will not only deliver significant efficiency savings but also enable Wolseley UK to take full advantage of market leading technologies enabling the continued evolution of the way the business interacts with its customers over the next five years.”
