Auckland-based print service provider, Soar Communications Group Ltd (SCG), has recently implemented HP SiteFlow to revolutionize its digital printing operations.

With over 150 jobs being processed daily, SCG - one of the largest independent communications group in NZ - was looking for an integrated workflow solution that automated its digital workflows, eliminated prepress bottlenecks and reduced the number of manual touchpoints in its job processing.
Fred Soar, SCG MD says: “We implemented HP SiteFlow late last year and it has already been a game-changer for our business, helping us to remove the repetitive and time-consuming tasks from prepress so that each job can go straight to print.

“The seamless integration of HP SiteFlow with HP PrintOS has enabled our prepress operators to batch process jobs themselves and actively identify jobs that can be automated, from file uploads to press preparation. This facilitates faster turnaround times and less wastage, which naturally translates into a stronger value proposition.”
In December 2024 alone, 38% of SCG’s digital orders were automated through HP SiteFlow. By freeing up SCG capacity, HP SiteFlow is directly enabling them to consider new revenue streams through additional print-on-demand solutions and third-party online print jobs. It also empowers SCG to meet the growing demands of online platforms like Canva, with unmatched speed and efficiency.
Joan Perez Pericot, VP and Global Head of HP Industrial Print Software & Solutions says: “SCG’s adoption of HP SiteFlow showcases the transformative potential of automation software in the print industry. By leveraging our technology, SCG is achieving greater efficiency, sustainability, and market competitiveness, setting a benchmark for digital print service providers in the region.”
