The use of your company's printer fleet is always important. Each printer in the fleet must be in good condition and ready to be used. You also need to know how they are being used and to what degree. With printer fleet management services, you can have all of these aspects in place and more.
Assessing the Fleet
The first step in print fleet management is to identify and assess each of the printers within it. Each printer is assessed to see its age, its design and what kind of condition it is in. If the printer is in bad shape and it's not a current design, it will likely be recommended for removal for the fleet. Older designs are not as energy-efficient, and they are often slower as well. All of that will cost you both money and time. With poor printers being pulled, the entire fleet can be made stronger, and it will cost less to run.
Saving You Money
Printer fleet management seeks to save you money, and it does this in a number of ways. It can prevent your company from having to pay for printer repairs by maintaining the printers with regular maintenance to them. And with all of the printers in good condition, you will not have to waste money on outsourcing your company's printing. It can all be done in-house anytime it is needed. Saving the time of your workers saves you money by saving your company from lost productivity.
Providing Oversight
Do you know how much printing is going on right now? Probably not. It's common for companies not to know how much printing is happening and who is doing that printing. With printer fleet management, there is oversight introduced into the equation. The monitoring part of the service creates a detailed look at all of the printing going on. This encourages workers not to print if they don't have a good reason to do so. This lowers the volume of printing and therefore the company's overall printing costs.
