20 pund note

A managed outsource printing service = savings for your business?

Easy really, the majority of businesses don’t have a clue how much they actually spend on office print such as letter-headings, invoices, paper, consumables in fact, anything print related. This is because there is no methodology to managing the process from purchasing, stocking and re-ordering.

Digital Print Management can help by providing a fully automated and customised print management service which will help measure and control your printing costs.

The first step in the process is understanding how much your current spend is on print; this is achieved simply by carrying out a print audit of the various documents used by the business. We seek to understand why and how documents are used, what the order cycle is and whom the suppliers are? From the information gleaned determines the total print spend!

A project manager oversees the whole process from start to finish culminating in a proposal detailing current print costs V cost savings on the various print items ordered.

Emphasis will be to demonstrate cost savings through efficiency driven processes.

Each quarter, we review the usage of the various items to discover where further cost savings can be made. Managing the print is an on-going process and is regularly reviewed.
