ABE offers printer fleet management strategies designed and tailored to your business. If you're unsure of the answers to the following questions, why not let ABE carry out a detailed assessment of your current situation, including true printing usage and costs throughout your organization? 

  • Can you identify your monthly print costs?
  • ​How many printers, copiers and MFPs do you have? How old are they?
  • How often do they need service?
  • How often are they out of toner?
  • Do you have a process for auditing print costs?
  • What is the current process for meter read submissions?
  • How much time does IT spend on supporting printing devices?

We'll follow up on our assessment with a detailed report and recommendations to improve efficiency and lower costs, tackling print management on two fronts: one, a service contract covering tech calls, repairs and supplies for all or some of your print fleet, and two, print tracking software solutions.

1) Service Contract: One Provider / One Invoice

Printers + Service + Supplies = One Fixed Monthly Fee. It's that simple. 

The average American company spends upwards of 3% of total annual revenue in print-related costs, making the capturing of print costs a priority for management—yet with a cost associated with every ounce of toner and every sheet of paper used, print jobs can sneak up and take your budget by complete surprise. ABE's print tracking solutions take the mystery out of printing and help you take charge of cost. Our goal is to help you take your variable print budget and create one monthly fixed-cost that maximizes savings while enhancing information security and auditing. 

Choosing managed print services does not mean you’ll have to replace your existing printers, although we do offer a wide selection of color and B/W MFPs, as well as desktop printers and copiers from Canon and Konica Minolta if you decide to update equipment. 

We offer a 3-level tiered support program so that you can choose the level of support and service that best suits your needs, freeing up your IT personnel to focus on other matters. Regardless of your organization size, environment and equipment owned, we can help you to reduce the costs and time associated with using your equipment. 

An important note: if you sign up for managed print services, this includes ALL toner for covered devices. Don't fall for the toner pirates scam!

2) Print Tracking Software Solutions

Managed Print software solutions from Advanced Business Equipment enhance device functionality while also creating user accountability. With the use of applied rules and limits, such as printing in color or B/W, single or 2-sided and more, they allow you to track exactly who is printing, how much they are printing, and the costs attached to their printing. These applications bring improved data security and auditing capabilities. 

Print Management and Tracking brings the following benefits:

  • Detailed print job reporting and costs, with Automation of reports for departments or per-user printing

  • Rules-based printing, with implementation of print policies to manage print jobs

  • Limited color usage down to the user level

  • Reduced cost of organization-wide printing

  • Fixed cost printing on all printing devices with one vendor

  • Decreased burden on IT personnel for printer supplies and maintenance

  • Predict when supplies and maintenance are needed, lessening downtime
