Case Study: Blue Bird Corporation cuts print costs in half with Ricoh and Solimar Systems

Blue Bird Corporation - Customer Case Study

Blue Bird Corporation, a leading bus manufacturer, faced the challenge of modernizing its legacy IT production workflow to achieve more automated and cost-effective processes. To address this, they worked with vendor Solimar Systems and implemented the Solimar Print Director Enterprise solution, alongside Ricoh digital printers and PlanetPress software, to manage complex document output.

The solution provided by Solimar Systems enabled host-to-printer connectivity and automated data stream conversion, streamlining the entire production printing environment. This resulted in significantly enhanced productivity and cut print costs in half. The high-quality output from the combined Solimar and Ricoh solution also allowed the company to bring brochure printing in-house, further reducing expenses.
