How we can help you
Reduce your workload
Avoiding 'traps for young players' reduces workload. Experience with these types of projects allows us to identify possible pitfalls. Smart process design helps us navigate around those pitfalls.
We deliver work of a consistent quality so you progress through the project easily. Our directors worked in manufacturing and product development where TQM was vital to creating successful outcomes and those lessons are applied at Hothouse.
Having the right documentation reduces paperwork and assists in tracking deliverables. We manage the project and keep you appraised of job progress. You are then free to manage the rest of your work without having to worry about ‘putting out fires’.
Increase your efficiency
Our experience in manufacturing has taught us to produce for the next step in the process, so we deliver to you what you need, in the way you expect to see it, so you can deal with it in the most efficient manner.
Last minute panics chew up time and energy. We are used to large volume, complex jobs and create systems to cope with the detail. That way we all stay calm and in control and you can concentrate on other things.
We help you to be more efficient by conducting a risk analysis at the start so you can concentrate your efforts where they are most needed. Of course ‘being prepared’ has worked for the boy scouts for years and as we love a proven methodology we think its one of the better ones to use!
Meet your budget
By using standard operating procedures (SOP), we work within parameters that control the process, ensuring time targets are met and the budget is kept under control.
Meeting the goals of the project often means more than just delivering a good end result. By using efficient processes we offer fast turnaround so unexpected events can be dealt with in a cost effective manner.
Meet your deadlines
Having predictable, established standard operating procedures that ensure work is produced with certainty allows us to schedule the time and resources accurately. So time is not wasted with rework or foolish errors.
Ensuring that printing is delivered on time takes more than delivering artwork on time. Having a printer with the appropriate capacity and mix of work is vital to having the project printed on time and to spec. Getting the right advice and knowing what questions to ask is vital to knowing how to make the choice – we can provide that advice.
Reduce stress
We understand that projects have outcomes beyond timely delivery and have found that a collaborative approach to project delivery is the most effective way to ensure all the desired outcomes are managed.
Staff turn over can be disruptive and stressful. We ensure continuity on recurring projects that covers any knowledge loss resulting from staff turnover because our procedures are documented, improved and refined as needed. And by specialising in timetable projects we make a commitment to providing this service on an ongoing basis.
Get a great end result
In order to get a great result, all parties in a project need to have matching expectations. We can assist in choosing a printer or printers who will be right for the job and in producing specifications that define what end result is expected.
Have all the answers
The backbone of an efficient project is a robust plan. We can plan the project, producing milestones and targets so that you know where we are and where we’re going at all times.
We make sure you have all the answers about the project at your fingertips. We manage the detail and document progress, keeping you informed as little or as much as you need.
