Cutting Costs and Improving Efficiency with Managed Print Services

Author - Tom Beeles CEO

Businesses are always looking for ways to reduce overhead costs while improving efficiency. One often-overlooked area where companies lose money is print management - from unnecessary purchases to unmanaged lease agreements. Without a structured approach, costs can spiral due to reactionary spending on toners, cartridges, and short-term printer solutions.

By implementing Managed Print Services (MPS), businesses can eliminate waste, control spending, and streamline their printing environment, ultimately boosting profitability.

Eliminating Unnecessary Print Expenses

One of the biggest cost drains for businesses is untracked, reactionary spending on printing supplies. Many companies find themselves buying toner and cartridges last minute, often paying more than necessary. This fragmented approach leads to:

  • Duplicate orders when different departments purchase supplies independently.
  • Unnecessary printer purchases when quick fixes replace long-term solutions.
  • Unmanaged lease agreements that don’t reflect actual printing volumes.

With Managed Print Services, businesses can centralize purchasing, monitor supply needs, and prevent wasteful spending. Instead of reacting to low toner levels or equipment failures, companies can implement a proactive print strategy that ensures better cost control and predictable budgeting.

How Overspending on Print Adds Up

Many businesses don’t realize how much they’re overpaying on print expenses until they take a closer look. A lack of monitoring and oversight leads to hidden costs, such as:

  • 5-10% overpayments on printing contracts or supply orders.
  • Leased printers with unused print volume quotas, leading to wasted resources.
  • Duplicate billing for services that go unnoticed on vendor invoices.

Something as simple as reviewing print-related expenses regularly can result in thousands of dollars in monthly savings. It’s similar to household budgeting, where tracking unused subscriptions or unnecessary spending can free up cash flow.

With an MPS provider like Allied Business Solutions, businesses gain visibility into their print spending, ensuring that every dollar spent contributes to business efficiency rather than unnecessary overhead.
