Printer fleet management can do a lot of good for your entire business, especially with the added benefit of other managed print services solutions. But what do these benefits actually look like? Let's find out.

Printer Fleet Management for Your Business

Do you know exactly how many printers, copiers, and scanners you have? How often are they used? How much does it cost to purchase and store the necessary supplies or to power them all day?

If you don't have the answers right away, don't worry--many companies don't. Fortunately, printer fleet management and managed print services can help.

Here are just a few benefits of these solutions:

#1: Your Space Will Work Better

Often, printer fleet management is about consolidating and upgrading your machines. That gives you the opportunity to organize your physical space based on what works best, what's most secure, and what supports connection with any remote or hybrid employees on your team.

#2: Your Workflows Will Be Smoother

Managed print services and printer fleet management work together to identify how individual machines impact your workflows. You'll identify and eliminate extra steps, choose better settings for your devices, and establish routines and habits that make more sense. The result is less wasted time--and a lot less frustration, too.

#3: Your Budget Will Be Healthier

It's pricey to manage an oversized or inefficient fleet, especially if you don't know where your money is going. Fortunately, printer fleet management helps you understand your print costs at individual machines and across your company. With that information, you can improve your supply ordering habits, cut out wasteful printing, handle maintenance more effectively, and better allocate resources.

Conclusion

It's not always easy to keep up with your print environment--and overlooking certain things can lead to budget and security issues. The good news is that there are plenty of ways to take control of your printers and workflows.
