Print Controller forms part of RMS’ metro portfolio and is provides a full in-store portal providing access to all styles or print materials, from shelf edge labels, stickers, barkers, talkers and signage. Integration with ERP, price and product information ensures accuracy and adherence to corporate branding and trading standards. Print Controller promotes productivity and mobility and can be used on PC’s, Hand Held Devices and Tablets within the store environment.

The RMS web-based solution replaces the WHS in-house developed system that was nearing end of life and will be utilised across the entire retail estate. A key driver for WHSmith project was the production and management of self-adhesive Stickers where specific stationary is used within stores to promote books. With Print Controller, the self-adhesive stickers are grouped, batched and printed to optimise stationary usage resulting in significant cost savings and a reduction in wasted stationary.
