Why Caralan are Cheaper

How we do what we do

We are cheaper than almost all suppliers of comparable NCR/forms products because of our businesss model and our specialisation philosophy.
It isn't because we supply an inferior product or poor customer service.
Basically we do a lot of one thing, we've been doing it a long time and we do it very well. This enables us to deliver the best product and service available and still charge a lower price.

Some Details:-

• Whole Business Workflow
  Our IT is custom developed around our business model. Bespoke software is developed in-house allowing us to create a highly integrated and streamlined production workflow. From ordering, then throughout production to despatch and delivery. This results in fewer mistakes, less administrative overhead and fewer staff for increased throughput.
• Specialised Equipment
  We have gathered many tons of precision industrial grade equipment. All equipment is maintained in-house with our own machine shop and print engineering capabilities. This greatly reduces lifetime cost of ownership whilst maintaining peak production and output quality.
  We have planned equipment redundancy in order to maintain uninterrupted production flow.
• Staff Specialisation
  Specialisation is again beneficial and leads to speed and efficiency. Our experienced staff have experienced everything in the world of forms production.
• Bulk Buying
  Because we buy a lot of the same thing we buy it cheaper.
• Business Model
  We don't maintain credit accounts and we do not rent.
  Our market is nationwide and internet based. This allows us economies of scale while removing the cost of high street premises.
  We don't have a sales team and our policy is to actively minimise non-production staff levels.
  Our product sells itself and because it is reliable and because we rarely make mistakes there is very little after sales overhead.
  Consequently we are able to be deliberately more factory than office. We are about production and delivery. We think this is best - because customers are only interested in paying for what is produced and delivered.
