Challenge: Traditional Print Shop in a Digital World

LuskPress is a family print shop with 20 years of tradition, specializing in commercial printing – catalogs, brochures, flyers, packaging materials. Before digitalization, they faced several problems:

  • Price quotes took 1-2 days – customers went to competitors in the meantime
  • Manual processing of every order – high error rate
  • B2B clients had to call or email every order
  • No overview of order status for clients
  • Website as just a digital business card – no functionality

Solution: Comprehensive Digital Platform

Phase 1: Online Calculator

We created an intelligent configurator with instant price calculation:

  • Selection of product type, format, paper, color
  • Real-time price recalculation with every change
  • Volume discounts automatically applied
  • Print data upload with automatic validation
  • Visual product preview before ordering

Phase 2: B2B Customer Portal

For corporate clients, we created a dedicated portal:

  • Individual prices and discounts per contract
  • Repeat orders with one click
  • Real-time order status tracking
  • Archive of all orders and invoices
  • API integration with client ERP systems

Phase 3: Workflow Automation

Integration of online system with production:

  • Automatic sending of order to production
  • Preflight file check before printing
  • Status change notifications (received → in production → shipped)
  • Carrier integration – automatic labels

Phase 4: Marketing and Acquisition

  • SEO optimization for "catalog printing", "flyer printing Bratislava"
  • Google Ads campaigns with dynamic remarketing
  • LinkedIn outreach to marketing managers
  • Email automation for reactivating inactive clients

Technical Solution

Tech stack:

  • Frontend: Next.js + Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Node.js + PostgreSQL
  • Calculator: Custom engine with 50+ variables
  • File processing: ImageMagick + PDF tools
  • Integrations: REST API for ERP (SAP, Money S3)
  • Hosting: AWS with CDN for fast loading

Results After 8 Months

  • +234% online orders – from 45 to 150 monthly
  • -60% calculation time – automation saves 20h weekly
  • +47% B2B customers – thanks to portal and outreach campaigns
  • -85% error rate – automatic file validation
  • +31% average order value – upsell in configurator
  • NPS 72 – customer satisfaction (previously 45)

Key Learnings

  1. Response speed = conversions – Instant calculation dramatically increased conversion rate. Customers don't wait 24h for a quote.
  2. B2B clients appreciate self-service – The ability to order anytime without calling is a game-changer for companies.
  3. Automation = consistency – Eliminating human errors in order processing improved both quality and relationships.
  4. Data is gold – Thanks to digitalization, they now know which products are profitable and where they're losing customers.

Client quote:

"I was afraid that our long-time clients wouldn't want to use the online system. The opposite was true – they call less, order more, and even praise us for our modern approach."

– Ing. Martin Lusk, Managing Director of LuskPress

What Did Digitalization Bring to Employees?

An important aspect of the project was also the impact on the internal team:

  • Sales team – less administration, more time for relationships and acquisition
  • Production – clear and complete documents, fewer uncertainties
  • Customer service – tracking available online, less "where is my order?"
  • Management – real-time dashboard with KPIs, better decision-making
