Northumberland, UK - Printed.com launches new PaaS (Platform-as-a-service), PrintedDirect.

The platform offers a new world of efficiency and revenue opportunity for print shops, buyers, and manufacturers.

Providing a solution to fully automate the lifecycle of an order, PrintedDirect customers get extensive visibility, control and management of jobs and artwork, using either the intelligent tools that support the platform or those you already know and love.

Celebrating the launch of PrintedDirect, Simon Dunn, The Printed Group’s Commercial Director explains, “It’s been years in the making, but we have a really clear idea internally of how we’re going to grow the business, which in conjunction with the traction we have right now through the consistent double-digit growth of Printed.com, puts us in a great place as a group. “

“PrintedDirect is ultimately the technology that has sat behind Printed.com since our re-platforming in summer 2022.

Outside of Printed.com, and through the platform, we already produce thousands of orders monthly for some of the biggest European names in web-to-print, and since Brexit we have only seen that demand increase.”, Simon continued.

The platform's user-friendly interface and wide range of customisation options make it easy for anyone to create high-quality, personalised products that reflect their unique brand or style.

Chief Technology Officer, Lee McIntosh, adds "We're excited to offer a platform that removes the barriers to scalability for businesses looking to create custom printed products and manufacturers doing more, for less. With PrintedDirect, anyone can unleash their creative potential and bring their ideas to life."

The elasticity of the tech stack and the intelligence we’ve built into it, is something we have not seen anywhere else in the industry and this is what projects Printed.com forward, so we’re really proud of what it has become”, added Lee. “Our platform is designed to empower businesses to save time, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency, allowing them to focus on delivering exceptional value to their customers and driving their own growth.”

Giving further insight in the wider Group’s business plans, Simon said “As well as servicing larger 'enterprise' businesses through the platform, we’re also launching apps to make it easy for anyone with a print store or print need to connect directly to our factory and network of print partners. That simple onboarding piece is crucial for the business model to scale profitably and something we continue to refine and work hard at.

I really believe that combination will allow us to forge ahead in this space alongside Printed.com’s ambitious growth plans.”
