Seamless execution and a wide implementation are key factors to creating high impact marketing initiatives. This is especially so in Asia, where the languages spoken and understood are so diverse. We help our clients achieve this result with dependable translation and transcreation support through our technology platforms and an extensive network of translation and interpretation experts across the region.

Transcreation, Adaptation and Interpretation
Linguistics remains one of our cornerstone offers. With a vast presence in Asia, coupled with a local workforce in every country we operate in, we are able to offer our clients local expertise and knowledge in the areas of translation, transcreation (creative translations) and interpretation, which cover a broad spectrum of the most widely used languages in Asia.

Translation work is done using MCS process management tools and the Trados translation memory system. For interpretation, our pool of astute and professional interpreters is lauded by our clients worldwide. To render a one stop service, we also provide simultaneous interpretation equipment and set up interpreter booths when mass interpretation is required for large scale events.

Aiming to provide customers the most cost-effective print fulfilment solutions, we established a printing process which has the combined advantages of the centralised, decentralised and hub-based printing approaches across 14 countries in the Asia Pacific.

Doing this, we ensure the consistency and high quality of our clients’ marketing collaterals as we help them save on printing costs, pay less in shipments and tariffs, and achieve optimum print production returns.

We provide production and sourcing capabilities, which is among our core competencies. We offer services that go beyond the traditional areas of print production. This includes web-enabled facilities such as Digital Asset Management (DAM), and web-to-print solutions which allow dynamic editing and variable data printing. Working with us, our clients are assured that their marketing collaterals supply chain is optimised.

A web-based ordering and fulfilment tool, VA helps procurement, marketing, and marcom managers manage their entire marketing collateral supply chain seamlessly, across multiple locations and time zones. Comprised of several modules, the web-based solution provides an end-to-end print production, ordering, and fulfilment process.

It provides a platform which offers print providers and marketers a fully-integrated solution that can be deployed quickly.

It is a single integrated platform covering web-to-print storefronts, job submission variable data, cross-media, and retail portals.

Corporate identity and branding is protected by consistent use of logos, typefaces, and predetermined design layouts.

Global IT MNC

This client is recognised worldwide as a technology solutions provider for consumers, businesses, and institutions. Their innovations span across IT infrastructure, personal computing and access devices, global services and imaging, and printing for consumers, enterprises, and small and medium businesses. The breath of solutions and services delivered by this client is complemented by extensive regional marketing efforts.

They required an entity to manage their content, which included marketing collaterals, point of sales materials (POSMs), direct mailers, and premiums. On top of these, they needed to produce annual marketing essentials such as planners and desktop calendars. We stepped up the plate and were appointed as their Print Management Vendor for the Asia Pacific region in March 2006. We were tasked to ensure that the quality, price and delivery schedules of print materials and premiums matched the client’s objectives.

We customised the Virtual Agency (VA), giving the client a centrally-managed platform that brought together all stakeholders – the client, their creative agencies, print service providers, and logistics support. The VA managed all print requests and quotations online.

We started supporting local and regional print management requirements for their operations in China and India in November 2007. Their Japan office also followed suit during that time, appointing us not only in print, but also in managing logistics and warehousing as well. In July 2008, our responsibilities expanded to providing print management services to Korea. All VA versions for this client have been localised to Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages.

Since it engaged our services, the client has seen at least 30 per cent initial savings in its print management processes. On the average, they save 20 per cent on their print collateral requirements.

To keep up with demanding timelines, we also determined a combination of shipment options to ensure the delivery of collateral and premiums within the predetermined deadline. Semi-annual reviews of the print and logistics service providers are also in place to ensure the service quality.

"We started supporting local and regional print management requirements for their operations in China and India in November 2007."

PC/Server Manufacturer in China

Our client was faced with the challenge to logistically manage materials for their marketing efforts in mainland China, the largest country in Asia. Managing and keeping track of its logistical needs is an arduous task.

In 2007, this client appointed us to manage all of their marketing materials for the mainland. Our solution was to house our client’s demo equipment, stage props, POSMs, collaterals and merchandise at a central warehousing facility in Beijing.

Our distribution network managed to cover more than 300 cities in the mainland, including those in remote locations. This translated to the efficient distribution of collaterals to over 1,000 retail stores across China. We received over 1,500 orders to various destinations each month, and deployed various shipping methods to support our client’s road shows.

As the event moved from one location to another in at least 25 cities, we were there to provide all their logistics needs.

"Our distribution network managed to cover more than 300 cities in the mainland, including those in remote locations."

Effective Order Fulfilment for a Hard Disk Drive Pioneer/Manufacturer

With more than 30 years of expertise, our client is a leading innovator of digital storage solutions for home computing and enterprise data centre needs.

They have also established a partner reseller programme, designed to help their partners in their marketing efforts. The programme aims to increase partner satisfaction and improve their return on investment while rewarding them for reaching their sales targets.

We were selected by this client to manage their marketing materials and spearhead their fulfilment and distribution efforts. We developed our own web-based ordering and fulfilment tool, providing the client 24x7 access to address their marketing needs, which included collaterals, premiums, demonstration equipment, and staging POPs. The ordering portal was composed of functionalities such as:

  • Marketing Manager Module
    Manages orders from end-users, while providing access to detailed delivery fees and inventory information. The system sends pre-set alerts for requests.

  • End User Module
    Allows online checking of stocks, placement of orders, report viewing and email alerts for orders.

  • Approver Module
    Allows the appointed approver to amend order quantities, update order status and shipping information.

  • Logistics Specialist Module
    Facilitates stock maintenance, retrieval of orders, and updates on order status and shipping information.

  • System Administration Module
    Allows the administrator to maintain the database, user IDs, and reports, as well as update freight rates.

With our warehouse facilities, we have fulfilled collateral, premium, demonstration equipment and staging POPs orders to countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, India, and Vietnam.

Some of the successful projects we have managed, on behalf of this client, include a partner programme kit where we collated and distributed premium items including purses, travellers’ documents, plaques, and certificates.

We also managed a database of their order handling and fulfilment of premiums at their e-Store, and delivered these across the region through our wide distribution network. Our client allowed their partners to accumulate points, which can then be used at the e-Store. Partners can get various marketing tools and collaterals to help boost their respective sales of our client’s storage solutions.
