DriveCam Streamlines Worldwide Sales & Marketing Efforts with YAMAGATA’s New Web Portal

back
 

SAN DIEGO September 11, 2006 DriveCam Inc., a worldwide leader in Driver Risk Management, has adopted YAMAGATA AMERICA’s new XLdoc Web portal. DriveCam marketing personnel and sales distributors log into XLdoc from anywhere in the world to create, update, translate and print brochures when and where they are needed.

“DriveCam has sales partners and distributors on five continents, and XLdoc puts them all on the same page,” said Kathleen Glass, DriveCam marketing director. “We are benefiting from improved communication, tighter control over our brand presentation, perfect translations, and tremendous print quality. Plus, XLdoc virtually eliminates the high cost of shipping brochures.”

Once DriveCam creates a brochure, marketing personnel and sales distributors can order printed copies in the exact quantities required via the XLdoc Document Ordering application. The system interfaces seamlessly with YAMAGATA’s global network of digital and offset printers. When an online order is approved, it is emailed to the YAMAGATA office near the final destination and printed on HP Indigo printers in quantities of 50 or more. The order is then shipped regionally to the final destination.

YAMAGATA is currently developing templates, translations and pre-approved images for DriveCam’s XLdoc Content Manager. Once all of these elements are loaded, DriveCam marketing personnel will have even more ways to customize brochures for customers with different languages and cultures. Even with this high level of customization, XLdoc will continue to preserve DriveCam’s brand from piece to piece.

XLdoc Key Benefits:

• Tight control over brand presentation
• Outstanding print quality
• Reduces waste associated with printing obsolete collateral materials
• Saves time by significantly reducing interactions marketing personnel have with copywriters and designers.
