Case Study: Large Pharmaceutical Manufacturer achieves $4 million in annual savings with RR Donnelley print management

Absolute Continuity Ensured as In-House Print Procurement Replaced

A large pharmaceutical manufacturer worked with RR Donnelley to replace its in-house print procurement operation as part of a broader effort to cut costs, eliminate non-core functions, and modernize technology. The company needed to maintain continuity, quality, and market presence while managing about $20 million in annual collateral and sales materials production.

RR Donnelley delivered a single-source print management solution that embedded talent, leveraged an off-site shared services hub, managed planning and production of branded communications, and used proprietary technology to lower production costs. The program was implemented in just 60 days and produced $4 million in annual savings, reduced 22 supply chain managers to seven print production specialists, improved cycle time and time-to-market, and increased supply chain efficiency and bidding transparency.
