Benefits of Deploying a Managed Print Service for Estate Agents.

A large number of Estate Agents are unaware of the true costs associated with running their office printers. This is in part due to supplies, servicing and hardware costs being spread across multiple budgets.

High printing costs can often be viewed by Estate Agents as an aspect of business life they have no control over. They can’t eradicate the need to print important documents such as tenancy contracts and agreements and so they must put up with high costs – however, this isn’t the case.

The Solution

To reduce costs and establish a level of control on office printing, Estate Agents can adopt a managed print service, regardless of their size. A managed print service provider will kick-start the process by implementing an audit to gain an insight into areas where costs can be reduced.

The Benefits of Upgrading to a Managed Print Service

For Estate Agents, upgrading to a managed print service will bring many short-term and long-term benefits, such as:

Accurate, Flexible and Low Costs

A key objective of a managed print service is to drive down costs, increase efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership. Businesses pay only for what they use and costs for all services, supplies and hardware are issued in flexible payments.

Greater Control of the Print Environment

Using print management software, you can set up and implement print rules to keep within a predefined budget. This will stop costs from spiraling out of control and also ensure there are no unexpected expenditures.

Monitor Print Habits

A managed print service allows you to monitor your office’s print habits and see areas of the business in need of improvement to help reduce wastage.

Assign Print Rights

To meet various print needs across your entire agency, a managed print service will enable you to assign permission rights and rules to certain user groups. For instance, you may want to allow only certain teams to print in colour.

Ongoing Support and Services

Your agency will also receive ongoing support from your provider, and if there’s an issue with your machine, you’re just an email or telephone call away from obtaining assistance.

Multifunctional Devices

The supply, ongoing servicing and management of multifunctional devices are key aspects of a managed print service. These all-in-one devices drive productivity, are easy-to-use and contain all of the necessary features to support Estate Agents in fulfilling their specific needs in an efficient and low-cost manner.

To summarise, upgrading to a managed print service can bring a range of benefits to Estate Agents, from monitoring and reducing costs to increasing productivity. For more information, visit Itec.
