Case Study: Leading Automotive Manufacturing Company achieves $5.1 million in year-one savings with RR Donnelley

Assessment Transforms Communications Supply Chain

Leading Automotive Manufacturing Company partnered with RR Donnelley to reduce overall print costs, but faced a major challenge: no global visibility into aggregate spend, along with a decentralized procurement model that limited brand consistency, standardization, and compliance. They also lacked enough internal production resources and supporting technology, creating heavy dependence on external agencies for digital asset management, translation, color corrections, and related communications work.

RR Donnelley delivered a comprehensive assessment and roadmap, then implemented print management, creative design services, enhanced project management and asset management technology, and integrated logistics services. The result was $5.1 million in year-one savings, 12% annual print management savings, $6.5 million in postage management savings, and a 20% reduction in cycle time, while also meeting MWBE spend targets and improving tax compliance.
