Printer Fleet Management for Multi-Site Businesses

Do you have more than one location? If so, you almost certainly have more than one set of printers--which means you need a way to standardize, optimize, and protect all of them at once. Here's how printer fleet management and managed print services can help.

What Is Printer Fleet Management?

Printer fleet management is just what it sounds like: a way to look at your machines both individually and together to better optimize your environment. That can mean a lot of things, including:

Choosing the best settings for each printer.
Consolidating redundant machines.
Upgrading outdated machines.
Identifying which printers are used most often and why.

Of course, printer fleet management doesn't work alone. It's part of managed print services, which means you'll have additional support to improve security, cut costs, streamline workflows, and more.

Benefits of Printer Fleet Management for Multiple Locations

Now that you know what printer fleet management is, it's time to find out what it does. Here's a look at what you can expect if you have multiple locations:

Better Experiences

You don't want employees to have different experiences at each of your company's locations. That leads to confusion, difficulty communicating, and more. Luckily, printer fleet management helps you identify the key elements of your company's print experience and standardize them across your entire organization.

Stronger Budgets

It can be tricky to keep track of supply costs across different fleets--not to mention maintenance and repair fees. Printer fleet management creates visibility into all these budgetary needs and more, allowing you to compare locations, improve ordering habits, and save money in every location.

Reduced Risk

The more you spread out your workforce, the more kinds of security threats and other risks you might face. With printer fleet management, you can identify weak points in your defenses and understand how each location introduces new risks--and then, with help from managed print, you can make targeted improvements.

In conclusion, printer fleet management is great for any business--but that's especially true for companies with more than one location.
