“I can tell the managing board at any time whether the devices are being used to capacity, and can provide them with a target or actual comparison.
We can also precisely calculate the costs of the devices. This gives us the greatest possible transparency. The Material Procurement department, which always used to order the toner and coordinate stock, is also very pleased that this is no longer necessary.”
– BGL Group Representative
The Background
The cost of printing documents was identified as a major company expense. The legacy unmanaged print environment comprised of a mixed fleet of printers and copiers, stockpiling of consumables, unpredictable and variable costs for toner usage, and service expenditure together with hidden costs associated with staff having to raise consumable orders and manage support calls.
More efficient use of document handling and printing capabilities were sought to not only save money but also enable BGL Group to enhance their green credentials.
