Company’s alliance with Ricoh across hardware, software and services drives growth in healthcare, finance, and insurance industries
EXTON, PA, April 24, 2023 – Ricoh USA, Inc. today announced that Sepire, a marketing services and communications distribution company, is growing its capacity to meet market demand by adding a third RICOH Pro VC70000 continuous-feed inkjet platform to its shop floor. The investment comes after experiencing 50% year-over-year growth with clients in the highly regulated healthcare, finance, and insurance industries and makes Sepire Ricoh’s only U.S. customer to currently hold three VC70000 presses.
Sepire is certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council. We provide multi-channel, compliance-driven communications solutions for our customers. In today’s evolving landscape, this includes services from high-volume printing and fulfillment to electronic delivery, secure workflow management, and data-driven communications.
“Since beginning our engagement just four years ago, Ricoh’s organizational focus on building lasting client partnerships and investing in our success have never faltered. As these values mirror those at Sepire, the partnership has resulted in joint success that goes well beyond capacity,” said Michelle Steinberg, CEO at Sepire. “Ricoh has continuously evolved with us over the years to enable Sepire to compete and win business in highly regulated areas – and ultimately, help our clients streamline, scale, and grow in secure and sustainable ways.”
The RICOH Pro VC70000 helps print service companies shift more jobs from offset to digital, without compromising media options, image quality or price competition. Inkjet technology unlocks shorter turnaround times, print-on demand, variable data capabilities, and faster turnarounds. It also has the speed and throughput needed to handle larger jobs. Print service providers will be able to spend less time on manual intervention and more time adding value for their customers with a suite of artificial intelligence and automation tools.
“Ricoh’s continued commitment to marketplace and customer needs shines bright in the alliance with Sepire,” said Mike Herold, director of Global Marketing, Ricoh USA, Inc. “Many companies are pursuing a more a personalized and cohesive customer experience across their print and digital communications, which demands greater speed, flexibility and automation from the press and the software and services that surround it. The VC70000 helps enable exponential growth in high-value applications with a fully configurable and field-upgradeable platform that is at home in any production environment.”
Sepire, using the VC70000 and Ricoh’s G7 certification, is able to match colors on all printer platforms in order to ensure consistency. In addition, Sepire implements software including RICOH ProcessDirector™ and RICOH Supervisor™ to drive efficiency and automation across the organization – and view all shop processes on one dashboard. RICOH ProcessDirector provides an automated, scalable, end-to-end print workflow management system that helps reduce costs, minimize mistakes, and boost productivity. RICOH Supervisor is a cloud-based printing shop that allows users to evaluate printer performance and throughput. The software allows for better print job estimating and operator skills to ensure smoother workflows and business growth.
