How a Multi-Site Manufacturer Reduced Printing Costs by 42%
The Challenge
The company was relying on older print devices that were becoming increasingly expensive to operate and maintain. Frequent issues with functionality and rising running costs were creating frustration for staff and placing unnecessary strain on internal resources.
With employees regularly working across multiple locations, the existing setup also made it difficult to print documents efficiently between sites, impacting day-to-day productivity.
The business needed a solution that would:
- Reduce ongoing printing costs
- Improve reliability and performance
- Simplify printing across multiple locations
- Provide fast, responsive support when needed
- Future-proof their print environment
The Solution
Auckland Copiers & Solutions conducted a review of the company’s print environment and recommended a tailored print management solution.
The project included:
- Replacing outdated devices with modern Canon multifunction printers
- Implementing uniFLOW print management software across both sites
- Enabling secure follow-me printing functionality
- Providing proactive support and ongoing account management
- Supporting wider technology requirements through competitive business IT hardware supply
The introduction of uniFLOW allowed employees to send print jobs from one location and securely release them from another, creating a more flexible and efficient workflow across the business.
The Results
The new solution delivered significant improvements across both sites.
42% Reduction in Printing Costs
By replacing ageing equipment and optimising the print environment, the business achieved a 42% reduction in ongoing printing costs, creating substantial long-term savings.
Improved Multi-Site Efficiency
With follow-me printing enabled, employees could print documents at whichever location they were working from, eliminating unnecessary delays and improving productivity.
Enhanced User Experience
The new devices delivered improved reliability and performance, reducing interruptions and creating a more consistent experience for staff.
