DataSource provides supply chain management services for print and related goods. The company’s expertise includes the entire spectrum of services associated with world-class workflow management and procurement.
DataSource’s vertical market strengths include restaurant / hospitality and automotive retailing, where the company benefits from lengthy, proven relationships with industry leaders. The company also provides services to companies across a broad range of commercial markets, including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and services companies.
The company started with a strong client focus, and this approach differentiates us from manufacturing-driven competitors. DataSource continues that philosophy today, investing in its analytic, account management, creative, sourcing and logistics capabilities.
We outsource 100% of our printed goods purchases. As a result, our clients can depend on objective advice, new ideas and a total commitment to sourcing the best solution, regardless of its source. And, of course, DataSource prides itself on assuming full responsibility for the end product, so clients receive the best of both approaches: complete commitment and responsibility combined with the cost benefits that come from aggressively managed procurement.
DataSource’s account management approach provides clients with a unified, coordinated gateway for all services. Our account managers take responsibility for the entire client relationship, and draw expert resources to meet each opportunity with complete support.
Our Kansas City-based logistics center provides a complete spectrum of fulfillment services from a convenient and central U.S. source. DataSource also brings substantial experience to managing operations in remote client locations. Because of our experience with large restaurant chains, we enjoy a strong ability to balance corporate control with local delivery.
Print-on-demand services are on-site, and we encourage our clients to consider the benefits of a complete on demand product workflow. Our experience illustrates the potential savings from reduced obsolescence, plus the value of strong brand and version management that print-on-demand services provide.
The company’s history dates to 1989, and we proudly highlight our almost 20 years of profitable, sustained growth. Sherie Bartlett, our CEO, started the company, and remains completely involved in our continued growth and success. Our headquarters is co-located with our fulfillment and procurement centers; so our account management staff is literally just a walk away from these resources.
