Speak to an expertWhat is Managed Print?
Many organisations lack the time, resources, or specialist skills to manage their document production environment and print security effectively. A Managed Print Service (MPS) involves partnering with an external provider to manage your print devices and environment, including printers, photocopiers, and related consumables, while monitoring usage to optimise efficiency and reduce costs.
Organisations turn to a Managed Print Service or partner because a centralised approach helps them to eliminate unnecessary administration, keeps costs to a minimum and improves productivity. Without a solid managed print strategy, organisations often find themselves bogged down by the complexities of maintaining devices, refilling toner supplies, and troubleshooting technical issues.
We're proud to have been working as a Technology Partner in the print industry for over 50 years. We work with businesses and organisations of all sizes, from SMEs and schools to large corporations and multi-academy trusts (MATs), delivering bespoke print services that align with their unique needs. Whether it’s optimising printer fleets, ensuring secure document handling, or providing reliable maintenance and support, we're here to help.
The benefits of a Managed Print Service
Cost and waste reduction
By centralising the management of printers, photocopiers, and consumables, we eliminate inefficiencies, minimise paper and toner waste, and streamline operations. Additionally, we work closely with you to establish and implement a print policy for your devices, helping ensure responsible use of print resources.
Visibility across your fleet
We provide visibility across your entire print fleet, to monitor and analyse usage patterns with ease. Our machine monitoring software OneStop, which is available on devices with the correct network setup, offers a centralised dashboard that tracks device performance, usage statistics, and supply levels in real-time.
Transition and change management
We tailor our transition management approaches to align with your existing workflows and processes, ensuring seamless continuity. From integrating new devices into your infrastructure to training your team on enhanced functionalities, we provide comprehensive assistance every step of the way.
Protect the environment
Our devices meet rigorous environmental standards like RoHS, WEEE, Energy Star, Nordic Swan, and Blue Angel, reflecting our commitment to security and sustainability. Additionally, our Toner Recycling Scheme and availability of refurbished "New Life" devices allows clients to recycle responsibly and reduce landfill waste.
Proactive maintenance and support
Through proactive maintenance and support we help to ensure your printers and copiers retain maximum uptime, whilst optimising processes and resources. Our latest MFPs offer integration with cloud and mobile applications. Some of our devices also benefit from a built-in Microsoft Teams connector, providing direct and secure access for printing to or scanning from Teams channels.
Comprehensive print security
Our Future Workplace MFPs are equipped with Bitdefender antivirus software which is activated via our Virus Detection Kit. This solution uses machine learning algorithms and patented technologies to identify and prevent malware threats. Our Cyber Security expertise is furthered by certifications such as Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001.
Automatic toner replenishment
Through OneStop, toner replenishment becomes an effortless, automated process, reducing waste levels and avoiding onsite stockpiling. It provides real-time meter readings for accurate billing and creates a fully automated workflow, saving time and improving output.
