Vpress is proud of its British heritage and has grown significantly over its 12 year duration.
Founded in 2001, British web to print supplier Vpress started as a small software firm providing what was then known as online print procurement. With the explosion of web to print, Vpress quickly became a market leader, providing pioneering and proven solutions to print providers worldwide with its Coreprint product. Vpress’ Cheltenham based team has a heritage steeped in the print industry and software development.
The fact that Vpress is completely UK based means that the team is responsive to new developments, and most importantly is always available to its clients. Many other web to print providers outsource development, which leads to a blurred line between the account manager and the actual amount of flexibility that they can offer. Some still prefer to just resell other peoples’ software, often with a negative result for the user.
At Vpress, when a client wants something, the development team can liaise directly with the client to find a solution that works, meaning that the Coreprint technology is constantly under development. In turn, this delivers constantly improving and pioneering web to print solutions to the print industry.
The company’s growth has been exponential over the last two years and the Coreprint solution is unique in the industry in that it offers a fully internationalised solution (any language is available including right to left languages) and is being utilised globally by many huge corporates, as well as a wide range of print providers.
Vpress’ true ‘cloud’ or ‘SaaS’ based technology Coreprint allows users to grow at a rate that suits their business and their customers’ demands: from the totally outsourced, inexpensive Coreprint solution at less than a £1000, through to the self-sufficient version of CoreprintPro and its many expansion modules.
The Coreprint suite offers customers controlled growth and investment, and comprehensive, scalable administration, allowing expansion into a number of areas, including online variable data, automatic QR code generation, digital asset management, ‘incentive and reward’ management and vouchering, internationalisation, open integration via ‘web services’, output to campaign management and beyond.
An impartial approach to partnering also sees Vpress continuing to work collaboratively with many leading MIS, ERP and accounts solutions, as well as digital press, finishing and production workflow manufacturers, in a bid to reduce, and in some cases eliminate, manual processes within their customers’ workflows.
Tim Cox, managing director of Vpress, added: ‘I think what makes us stand out in the marketplace is the team’s determination to excel and develop new technology and improved customer support.
Where competitors have emerged and continue to have struggled over the last decade, Vpress has flourished.’
He continued: ‘Developing in-house, and hosting everything within the UK, gives our UK and international customers peace of mind, and also results in our tight-knit team continually striving to remain one step ahead of web to print and other technological advances, as well as relishing new challenges presented by our rapidly growing customer base.’
