For many organizations, print sits in an uncomfortable middle ground. It’s mission-critical enough that failures are visible and disruptive, but rarely strategic enough to warrant ongoing attention. As a result, it often becomes fragmented, reactive, inefficient and over-managed by people whose time is better spent elsewhere.
WCD’s print outsourcing services change that dynamic. We manage all print and signage on behalf of our customers end-to-end, including procurement, vendors, and execution. This brings clear ownership, operational discipline, efficiency and accountability to an environment that is too often spread across vendors, internal teams, and legacy processes.
Consolidating vendors and eliminating waste, can reduce print costs by up to 15–25% through smarter vendor management and procurement oversight.
Operate on a single monthly fee with full visibility into print costs — no surprises, no unplanned hardware purchases.
Consolidated vendors, standardized ordering, and streamlined approval workflows keep your organization moving without print getting in the way.
As a full-service print outsourcing company, WCD manages your print and signage needs centrally by coordinating vendors, workflows, and fulfillment with the perspective of experienced print operators, so your team can focus on higher-value work. With over 20 years as a print industry leader in Canada, you know you're in good hands.
Through WCD’s print centre management services, we can also staff and operate your onsite print centre, bringing structure and consistency to environments often dependent on individual knowledge, while ensuring continuity through unanticipated change.
WCD's WebConnect Online Storefront centralizes the ordering, approvals, brand standards, and reporting of your corporate materials — giving your team visibility and control, reducing manual coordination, and increasing efficiency
" The University of Calgary Print Centre provides quality, accurate and always-on-time services, enabling the campus to run smoothly and me to focus on educating my students."
When print is fully owned and expertly managed, it becomes predictable instead of reactive. Costs are controlled, standards are enforced, vendors are held accountable, and internal teams are no longer pulled into day-to-day fire drills. Print runs as an operation, not a distraction.
In most organizations, print evolves organically. Vendors accumulate over time, responsibilities blur across teams, and decisions are made tactically just to keep work moving. What’s missing isn’t effort, it’s ownership. Without a clear operating model, print becomes harder to control, more expensive to manage, and dependent on internal heroics.
As your outsourcing partner, WCD steps in as the single accountable owner of your print environment, managing procurement, vendors, and execution end-to-end. We bring structure where there’s fragmentation, discipline where there’s variability, and continuity where risk has quietly built up. Our role is to run print as a managed operation, not a collection of transactions.
Let us assume responsibility for how print runs day to day, how it scales, and how it improves over time. Our role is to make print reliable, predictable, and professionally managed, so it no longer competes for your attention.

When rising demand and outdated tools left the University of Calgary Print Centre stretched thin, WCD stepped in. We took over daily operations, modernized systems, and integrated our WebConnect platform to streamline requests across departments. Today, the print centre delivers a 98% on-time rate, manages exam printing securely, and supports over 800 faculty members with fast, reliable service.
Organizations can save up to 15–25% on annual print spend after outsourcing to WCD. We give you full visibility into what you're spending, consolidate your vendor relationships, and negotiate from a position of scale — eliminating the maverick spend and waste that accumulates when print is managed reactively across multiple disconnected vendors.
Outsourcing print consolidates your vendor relationships into one point of contact, standardizes ordering and approvals through a single platform, and eliminates the back-and-forth of sourcing quotes or chasing multiple suppliers. Digitizing these workflows — from request to approval to fulfillment — cuts the manual handling and follow-up that otherwise falls on your team.
WCD provides regular reporting on your print environment, including volume, costs, and usage across your organization. Through the WebConnect platform, you can also have on-demand visibility into ordering activity, fulfillment, and spend - so you're never in the dark about what's being printed, by whom, and at what cost.
Not necessarily. WCD steps in as the single point of accountability for your print environment, which means we coordinate and manage your existing vendor relationships and procurement on your behalf. Where vendors aren't performing or where consolidation makes sense, we'll identify that and recommend changes — but the goal is to optimize your print environment, not disrupt it unnecessarily.
Small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) often see the most dramatic impact. Larger organizations typically have a dedicated procurement or facilities team managing print vendors and contracts; in an SMB, that job usually falls to an office manager or team lead who ends up sourcing quotes and chasing vendors instead of doing their actual job. Outsourcing print gives that time — and that expertise — back to the people who should have it.
