Ordering print supplies for the office can be difficult or expensive. It is challenging to anticipate when you will need print supplies and how much you will need, so costs add up, and so does frustration. Most often this is because businesses do not have protocols in place to simplify the process. With managed print, you don’t have to worry about supplies. This comprehensive solution streamlines print supply ordering and takes the stress off your staff.
Why Managed Print Matters
Without managed print, most businesses take one for two approaches: either over-order so there are always supplies on-hand if needed, or last-minute order in a panic and need expedited service and shipping.
Neither of these situations is ideal. The first typically leads to extra supplies stuffed in storage closets collecting dust and sometimes, never even getting used. So many times, unused supplies are discovered months or years later and the business no longer even has the device the supplies were intended for.
In the latter situation, last-minute supplies are ordered when they run out in the middle of a busy workday, leading to staff frustration and costly expedited shipping fees. Also, this cycle perpetuates itself as all is well until the next time ink and paper run low or out.
How MPS Simplifies Supplies
Managed print addresses many print-related concerns, supply ordering being just one of them. Beginning with a print audit, MPS can improve your print environment with data-monitoring, print tracking, as well as predictive supply needs. Using state-of-the-art print monitoring software, we can track your print fleet usage to not only predict supply needs, but send them to you automatically without you having to order them.
By monitoring your current usage, managed print can anticipate your supply needs without you ever having to worry about it. A print audit creates the baseline from which we can build a customized MPS solution for your business based on needs and budget. This paves the way for additional productivity improvements and additional opportunities to streamline your print fleet.
