Ricoh Partnership with School District of Philadelphia

This case study outlines the partnership between Ricoh and the School District of Philadelphia, which has spanned over 20 years. It details the challenges faced by the district, including the absence of a centralized ordering system and lost revenue due to outsourcing printing services. Ricoh implemented a WebCRD centralized ordering system that improved operational efficiency, allowing both internal and external clients to place orders easily. The partnership has led to significant cost savings, including $10,000 annually by printing diplomas in-house rather than outsourcing. Additionally, the capacity of the Print Shop has increased, enabling it to support a diverse range of printing jobs. The case study presents the results of this collaboration, highlighting the optimized operations and enhanced capabilities of the Print Shop, which have fortified the partnership and increased revenue potential for the district. Ricoh's innovative solutions have positioned the district to capture a larger market share in the region.
