Warehouse Capabilities

Z3 can provide a complete fulfillment solution using our traditional literature fulfillment service. This service provides high-volume storage of printed materials with pick-and-pack, on-demand distribution of materials to clients' sales locations, to their end clients or to prospective clients.

Z3 currently has over 30,000 square feet of fulfillment storage and operational warehouse space with flexibility to expand into another 200,000 square feet. Starting with this basic capability, Z3 structures the storage, pick-and-pack, kitting and distribution configurations to support specific customer requirements.

Print On-Demand

What makes Z3 fulfillment unique is our ability to combine traditional fulfillment, storage and distribution services with print on-demand and digital print communication alternatives and solutions. It is all packaged within our Z-Force software which provides you with 24/7 access to your entire marketing arsenal.

Z3's fulfillment offerings seamlessly link with our state-of-the-art print facility located 5 miles from our fulfillment center. Z3's document management capabilities are linked through our Z-Force software to combine traditional fulfillment with strong print on-demand technologies to provide our clients with creative marketing solutions.

Document customization, editing control and re-purposing enables clients to reduce costs in stock inventory and non-compliant inventory. Our clients have full control over kit contents and document expiration.

Electronic Fulfillment and Warehousing

Traditionally, information had to be printed first, then stored until needed. Now Z3 helps our clients reverse the process enhancing flexibility and capturing cost savings. Using database publishing and print on-demand capabilities, Z3 can electronically warehouse your document and store it until a printed or electronic copy is needed. Our Z-Force software can be linked to our client's systems and customized for look and feel.

Warehouse Management Systems

Our inventory management and order processing systems are easily accessible over the Internet. Order status, item quantities and standard reports can all be accessed in near real-time.

Our system supports kitting, allowing multiple items to be grouped without affecting the accuracy of the individual item inventory balances.

Kitting

Z3 offers a variety of unique services and solutions for collating and kitting. We work with our clients to review all kit work to determine the most economical and efficient processing methods, and typically move client applications through these various options.


The kitting options include the following:

Traditional Kitting

The need may arise for kits to be built for a specific product, marketing campaign, or other ad-hoc requirements. This might be a one-time project or an ongoing fulfillment need. Our objective would be to understand anticipated usage, meet any immediate requirements and store only the quantity needed to meet a particular period, perhaps a quarterly or monthly supply.

Just-in-time Kitting

This approach allows for the timely collation of kits while minimizing or eliminating the expense often associated with outserting and inserting time-sensitive and compliance-monitored documents. We identify all of the core components in a particular kit and, as ordered, add any associated additional materials that may vary from one kit to the next.

Print On-Demand Kitting

This solution is intended to generate kits in which all of the components have been stored in a directory of PDF files. The components are not drawn from inventory, but rather printed as needed and placed in a kit arranged according to sequencing instructions.
