Express A/S Achieves 100% ROI and Eliminates Manual Processing Errors with Solimar Systems' Workflow Solutions

Copenhagen print service bureau transforms complex communication workflows, saving one hour per shift daily through intelligent automation

San Diego, CA – February 3, 2026 – Solimar Systems, a leading global provider of enterprise output management and customer communications solutions, today announced that Express A/S, a Copenhagen-based print service bureau specializing in high-volume transactional communications, has achieved significant operational improvements and complete return on investment through the implementation of Solimar’s workflow automation platform.

Express A/S, which has provided comprehensive physical and digital communication services for over 30 years, turned to Solimar Systems to address the growing complexity of managing multiple data streams, formats, and output devices across their production environment. The implementation of Solimar Print Director Enterprise™ (SPDE) and Rubika® has enabled the company to route 50% of their total production through an intelligent, automated workflow system.

“Solimar has proven its reliability as our job distribution tool,” said Bo Andersen, CEO of Express A/S. “Now we’re considering how it can become our full workflow tool—combining control, automation, and scalability.”

The partnership yielded immediate, measurable results for Express A/S, including a complete return on investment achieved through a single client project involving complex AFP file conversion and processing. The Danish client required sophisticated handling of AFP files that needed conversion, sorting, splitting, and secure mailing preparation—a challenge that Solimar’s integrated solutions addressed seamlessly.

Transformative Business Results

• 100% ROI Achievement: Full investment recovery through one strategic client implementation
• Daily Time Savings: One hour of manual work is eliminated per shift through automation
• Error Elimination: Virtual elimination of manual splitting errors, ensuring accurate envelope stuffing and document integrity
• Production Control: Real-time visibility and tracking for every job across the production floor
• Volume Processing: 50% of total production now flows through Solimar’s platform

“With SPDE, we convert AFP to PDF print files and identify individual letters within both AFP and existing PDF print files,” explained Niels-Martin Aller, Technical Project Manager at Express A/S. “Rubika lets us split them, sort them, and apply OMR marks for secure enveloping.”

The solution architecture includes AFPDS conversion to PDF, Rubika for intelligent document processing, and SOLfusion™ for workflow automation. This comprehensive approach has transformed Express A/S’s ability to handle complex, high-precision communications that require strict compliance and security measures.

Express A/S initially implemented Solimar solutions in 2017 to manage distribution across their Xerox® equipment, and has since modernized their production environment with Canon® i300 and v1000 presses while maintaining operational control through Solimar’s platform. The system’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface and powerful enterprise capabilities have made it the operational nerve center for the company’s diverse production requirements.

“Express A/S exemplifies how modern print service providers can leverage intelligent workflow automation to meet the increasing demands of complex communication requirements,” said Mary Ann Rowan, Chief Experience Officer at Solimar Systems. “Their success demonstrates that strategic workflow investments deliver both immediate ROI and long-term operational excellence.”

Looking forward, Express A/S is evaluating expanded deployment of Solimar solutions to potentially replace other systems and establish a unified workflow automation platform. The company particularly values Solimar’s responsive technical support, the growing capabilities of Solimar University Online (SUO) training platform, and the AI assistant Diego for workflow guidance.
