In the fast-paced world of print production, staying ahead of industry shifts and evolving client demands is essential for sustained growth. Oschatz Visuelle Medien GmbH, a leading print service provider based in Germany, faced these challenges head-on by adopting GelatoConnect. This strategic move not only transformed their operations but also positioned them to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.
In our latest interview, Co-CEOs Daniel and Joel Oschatz share how GelatoConnect enabled them to streamline their processes, enhance efficiency, and unlock new growth opportunities—all while maintaining the high standards of quality their clients expect.
As the traditional print market began to change, Oschatz Visuelle Medien GmbH found themselves needing to adapt quickly. The demand for e-commerce print services was growing, but without the right tools, Oschatz couldn’t effectively cater to this emerging market. The challenge was clear: how could they increase production capacity and capture new business without the costly and time-consuming process of hiring additional staff?
The answer lay in GelatoConnect, a comprehensive software solution designed to optimize every aspect of print production. By integrating GelatoConnect’s three modules—procurement, workflow, and logistics—Oschatz was able to automate key processes, allowing them to handle a 25% increase in production volume with their existing team.
Joel Oschatz highlighted the impact of this automation: “We have 20 to 25% more volume and more capacity with GelatoConnect. Everything is now automated, the files are ready at the machines, the items from the shelves are in the places where we need them.”
This level of efficiency has allowed Oschatz to onboard new e-commerce clients that they previously couldn’t support. Daniel Oschatz emphasized, “we saw the value of GelatoConnect immediately. With GelatoConenct, we got three new clients we never imagined we could get; clients we couldn’t have attracted without GelatoConnect.”
Beyond improving internal processes, GelatoConnect also opened doors for Oschatz to expand their market reach. The software’s ability to connect with other print shops globally has enabled Oschatz to collaborate across borders, producing for clients in different countries and handling complex logistics with ease. “GelatoConnect gives us the tools to tap into new markets. It’s a smooth way to produce for other countries and collaborate with colleagues in the print industry,” said Daniel Oschatz.
For Oschatz, adopting GelatoConnect was not just about meeting current demands but also about future-proofing their business. The print industry is evolving rapidly, and those who embrace new technologies will be best positioned to succeed. “If you want to be part of the future printing industry and get print jobs in the future, there is no way around GelatoConnect,” Daniel Oschatz asserted.
