Printer Fleet Management for Multiple Locations

You may know the basics of printer fleet management when everything's in the same place--but what happens if your company operates in multiple locations? Here's how this solution adapts to your needs and creates new advantages!

The Basics of Printer Fleet Management

Printer fleet management is part of managed print services, and they work together to create bigger, better benefits. While managed print includes things like supply order and workflow optimization, fleet management helps you take a closer look at your devices themselves.

This may include:

Reorganizing your devices in the physical space.
Consolidating your fleet.
Planning and budgeting for printer upgrades.
Changing settings.
Monitoring usage habits across different machines.

These solutions aren't just limited to a single location. They can expand to encompass multiple office buildings or even home offices, too.

Expanding Printer Fleet Management

If you have more than one location, this is what printer fleet management might look like:

Taking Stock of Your Investments

What machines have you paid for? Where is each one located? How about software and apps? Printer fleet management gives you insight into what you have so you can compare that against what you need.

Standardizing Your Settings

Controlling settings can be a little difficult when your printers are in different places. That's why it's smart to have a standardized approach for every machine in your fleet, regardless of location. This helps eliminate security vulnerabilities, cut back on unnecessary printing, and give employees a more consistent experience.

Managing Supplies

Printer fleet management also helps you learn more about supply usage across your fleet, regardless of location. Once you've identified patterns in usage, you can more accurately plan for supply orders and deliveries--that way, you never run out of what you need, but you also don't over-order and waste anything.

In conclusion, printer fleet management and managed print services work together to bring multiple locations together and keep your print environment feeling cohesive.
