[Success Story] AccurioPro Flux turns idle capacity into new revenue at A/S Varbas
A/S Varbas, based in Oslo, provides warehousing, packaging, fulfillment and digital print services. Its print shop had the capacity to do more, but growth in volume had leveled off. The company wanted to put that spare capacity to work by winning larger, recurring customers.
The challenge
- Print production capacity sitting underused as volume growth stalled
- Lack of a simple, standardized way for business customers to order print
- Manual quoting and job setup slowing down every new order
The solution
- Konica Minolta production printing system
- AccurioPro Flux Ultimate, our print workflow software with integrated web-to-print
The opening came when Konica Minolta introduced Varbas to a consulting firm that needed a standardized way to order print online. Varbas answered it with AccurioPro Flux Ultimate, building a dedicated web-to-print portal where the client's office managers place their orders directly.
This is where AccurioPro Flux does the heavy lifting. Each portal order arrives with pricing already calculated — the software generates the price quotation automatically — and lands in production pre-set and ready to run. There is no manual processing, no back-and-forth over specifications, and no delay between order and print. What used to require quoting and setup now happens the moment the customer clicks order.
The commercial impact was immediate. In its first full month the portal generated around €10,000 in additional revenue, and print volume settled at roughly €12,000 a month (about 30% growth) with a fifth of Varbas's total print volume now flowing through the portal. Encouraged by the result, Varbas is now offering web submission portals to other customers, including on-demand printing that helps customers cut pre-printed stock.
The benefits for the customer
- Around €10,000 in additional revenue in the first full month
- Roughly 30% growth in print volume
- Automatic price quotation on every online order
- Orders arriving pre-set and ready to print, with no manual setup
- Spare print capacity converted into recurring, standardized work
- A repeatable web-to-print model Varbas can now sell to further customers
With AccurioPro Flux Ultimate as the engine behind its web portal, A/S Varbas turned a plateau into a growth story. Proof that the right workflow software does not just save time in production, it opens up new business.
