TAGS: Retail
In a retail environment, printers are vital to your operations and processes. Discrepancies and missing documents can lead to delays, while offline printers can mean downtime and disruptions.
Lexmark has a broad portfolio of print solutions specifically designed for high-volume retail environments. This – alongside our cutting-edge technologies, enhanced cloud connectivity and Secure by Design approach – is why we’re trusted by nine of the top 10 global retailers.
Built with retail businesses in mind, Lexmark’s intentionally engineered printers are unique – using industrial metal frames for superior durability and lifelong performance in demanding retail environments. They can also handle multiple types of specialty media, below-counter printing in pharmacies and in-store signage for your sales floor.
Our solutions integrate with your core business systems and automate and digitize your current paper-based processes, improving productivity while also reducing waste – helping to create a more sustainable environment.
Cloud connectivity is vital to achieving greater flexibility across your operations. Our embedded solutions bring enhanced connectivity and total visibility of all systems, helping you quickly capitalize on shifting sales channels, such as in-store pickup or ship-from-store.
These scalable, cloud-based solutions can be adapted to any environment, no matter the size or location, automating the local creation of dynamic content. With remote management, file sharing and support for digital signage, each store can print only what it needs – another great way to minimize waste.
Being in the cloud also allows your business to benefit from mobile printing, which saves time, increases staff visibility and allows your stores to flex to meet the needs of the local market.
With connections across your entire business, Lexmark’s advanced analytics give you real-time insights into every aspect of your print operations, helping to drive down costs and streamline processes. This is especially useful in print-heavy departments, such as shipping/receiving, logistics, loss prevention and HR.
Our retail solutions suite helps your business optimize performance in real time, boosting operational efficiency, reducing employee burdens and creating a more engaging and personalized customer experience.
