On-demand consumable management; Save Money & Eliminate Frustration
Posted on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 @ 12:35 PM
Have you ever gone to print a report for an important client meeting only to find that your printer was out of ink and you don’t have any toner cartridges in stock? This can be frustrating and costly, especially when you have to stop work, drive to the local office supply store and pick up the supplies you need (at retail price), and hurry back to the office so you can print your job.
On the other hand, to avoid running out at that inopportune moment you can choose to stock your shelves full of supplies. But money is tight, and now you’ve tied up cash in an inventory of materials that may sit for months before they are used. Even worse, your supplies may be stolen or damaged, or even go obsolete as new printers and copiers are brought in.

There is a better way. Large corporations have for years adopted a “just in time” approach print consumables management; they have the procurement personnel needed to make on-demand fulfillment work. But if you are smaller company, it’s likely that you simply run to the store when you need more and otherwise hope for the best.

The benefits of an on-demand approach to print consumables and supplies is an area that should not be overlooked; especially for small and medium-sized organizations that do not have sophisticated procurement systems and dedicated stockroom staff. “Managed print” is not just about print; it is also about managing the materials and consumables that go into each printout or copy.
