A new buying and information platform for the global wide –format community is now Live!

DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES SCORES ANOTHER WORLD FIRST WITH NEW CONTENT-BASED WEBSITE

DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES; March 31, 2017; BRUSSELS: DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES has launched a dynamic new online platform for its global customer base. 

The new content-based e-commerce website now provides comprehensive information on all aspects of the company’s thousands of spare parts, tools and equipment for the digital wide format community. Now when a customer buys a printhead for example, he can call up all aspects of that product including user guide, maintenance, mechanical drawings, related products and reviews all in one place.  If he then decides to buy the product, there’s the added benefit of DIGIPRINT’s extremely competitive prices, and 24 hour shipping.  

“It's a major development representing the biggest investment in our company has made in its ten years of existence,” says Albano Masino, Vice President Sales & Marketing at DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES. “It’s been a complex exercise and one that has taken 2 years to develop, but now that it’s here we know we are offering the world wide digital printing community a one of a kind resource, that is all about value for money and customer empowerment.” 

DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES was the first company in the world to bring a one-stop shop for all digital wide format print online. Coupled with an uncompromising level of service, the company has an enviable reputation for quality and value for money that is appreciated by its 80, 000 customers.

“We are going one step further again,” says Masino. “We are bringing valuable content to the fore and content is very important. We’ve never been an online catalogue but we have always been more than our previous website displayed. We regularly produce high quality webinars through our DIGIPRINT UNIVERSITY, we write tons of user guides, start-up documents, ‘how to’ information, schematics, articles, reviews. We have large amounts of relevant, valuable information that is all about empowering the end user. Our new website will clearly show this.” 

The new website is based on the latest Magento platform, the technology of choice used by all the world’s most professional e-commerce websites and has been integrated with Drupal, an equally sophisticated content management system that is also used by the White House. Together a new level of information access has been achieved. 

“For the first time anywhere in our industry, we’re providing the means by which everything you need to maintain your wide and search for spare parts, tools and equipment for your digital wide format printer is altogether in one place, “ says Masino.”

“Our previous website was good, but it didn’t do justice to our offerings. Now everything is linked, everything is searchable, and we have hundreds of pages of helpful, informative content that really support our customers’ buying decisions, plus a live, 24 hours a day technical helpdesk,” he says.

The site was designed from scratch, and the starting point for this was data held in thousands of job ticketed questions that had been logged on the old web-based hotline system. 

DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES has a number of multi lingual, engineers in-house who have been responding live on the helpdesk to these questions, and helping customers every step of the way, free of charge, no matter whether they purchased from us or not.

Another focus for this site was to take it beyond the expectations of customers’ experience with B2B sites, and elevate it to a retail benchmark, which has to satisfy customers in a highly competitive and demanding market. 

Says Masino: “Working within a reference point of a fast moving, highly competitive retail environment has given us new ideas. It has ensured that we exceed expectation, which is something we always want to do. 

“This new website experience really brings together solutions for the aftersales in the wide format digital printing industry. The pre – sales is the customer’s prerogative, but where we add value is after that decision has been made. We champion the end user providing them with everything they need to run a profitable business.”
