ESP Colour is on track to replace all its current workflows with GelatoConnect by the end of June, with the intention of achieving time and cost savings with the unifying procurement, workflow and logistics software.
Gelato produces personalised products in 32 countries, allowing creators and ecommerce sellers to scale their businesses and reach customers faster while reducing waste, costs, and carbon emissions. In tandem, Gelato leverages the same network to connect PSPs, allowing them to produce, manage, and ship products on a single, more efficient platform – GelatoConnect. ESP Colour has been part of Gelato’s production-on-demand network since 2017 and has seen an exponential growth in micro-orders from ecommerce sellers since then.
ESP CEO Simon Smogur said of the latest move: “Reducing cost and improving profitability in these short print runs is key for future-proofing your operations in the digital print industry. GelatoConnect ensures my machine parks are unified into one enterprise software, providing valuable production data in real-time across my entire facility. Gelato’s software is poised to redefine our industry. I’m witnessing in real-time, tangible improvements in our production efficiencies and cost base.”
He added: “Logistics is not just about reducing logistics costs, but even more importantly, eliminating the need to negotiate with carriers or troubleshoot label issues. This results in reducing my workforce in packing stations by anywhere between 20-30%.”
Oslo headquartered Gelato was founded by CEO, Henrik Müller-Hansen in 2007, and comprises the Gelato platform and the consumer brand Optimalprint.
“ESP Colour has a leader in Simon who has experienced, firsthand, the speed of development and the machine-agnostic software power of GelatoConnect. By fully deploying GelatoConnect, ESP Colour is setting a new standard for efficiency and profitability in the print industry,” said Müller-Hansen.
