DO MORE
THINGS WEB, SEO, PRINT & DISPLAY
Nettl is a bolt-on formula for established design & print businesses. It’s an end-to-end solution which helps you do more things web, more things print, and more things display for more of your clients, in a streamlined manner.
Nettl simplifies the world of web.
It’s a toolkit of software, technical support, training, marketing, back office systems and a robust supply chain. It’s a brand to position our partners as the go-to place for local business. Nettl allows you to focus on selling, whilst making the most of your internal graphic design resource.
It’s a smarter way of working.
THE JOURNEY
We’ve designed Nettl to address the new cross-media things your clients now want.
Times change. The way businesses promote themselves has changed. It’s a familiar story. Printers and designers we’ve spoken to tell us they feel if they don’t offer web services they risk losing the client – to someone who offers both web and print.
To offer web is just the start though. Delivering projects in a streamlined, profitable way, is the path to growth. This is the Nettl way.
Today, if you’re a graphic professional, you must have web in your armoury. That’s why back in 2014 we converted all printing.com studios we owned to pilot the Nettl formula. We developed marketing to help them win new clients, cloud-based tools to help manage the projects, Geeks to support the technical elements, and software to help them deliver beautiful websites and web shops.
Since then we’ve partnered with graphic designers, print studios, sign companies and web designers to bolt-on the Nettl formula. The Nettl toolkit has helped these businesses to add an average of 6 projects per month, within the first 6 months.

CLICK&COLLECT
& EPOS INTEGRATION

Across all major retailers, over half are already offering Click & Collect, with many more planning to add it this year. For retailers, it makes perfect sense. According to Internet Retailing magazine, more than 60% of Click & Collect shoppers go on to purchase further products during item collection.
Nettl have built complex EPOS Integrations with EPOS Now, the UK’s largest EPOS provider and Sunday Times Fast Track business. We’ve also integrated with leading multi-site EPOS developer Datasym.
