Shapco Printing Success Story
Shapco Printing is a PI 400 listed large Commercial Printer. It has been serving over 40 years from the U.S.A. It specializes in premium-quality printing and mailing services with its major focus on corporate clients and franchisee chains. It has gained national recognition for winning more than 1000 awards in its 4+ decades of service.
Shapco lost one of its multi-million dollar accounts to its competitor as it could not meet the print ordering needs of corporate clients. They had already invested in multiple web-to-print solutions and eCommerce but could not offer unique online ordering and integration for each of their large corporate clients due to the ever-growing needs and complexity of development.
