Frequently scheduled with the aim of improving cost efficiency, and usually at the end of a contract with a supplier, updating the entire print fleet can also pave the way for the introduction of new services for employees.
In the age of digitization, managing your print fleet can become an essential lever from both an operational and financial point of view. Here you'll find out what your company needs to consider at the outset.
5 questions to ask yourself before renewing your print fleet
1) How can we meet employee needs?
In both large companies and smaller organizations, printing equipment needs are varied and require a targeted, personalized approach.
Before renewing the printing fleet, it's essential to bring together in-house experts from various departments to gather their specific requirements. This helps define the scope of the solution to be implemented, so as to meet all the company's needs.
2) How can I simplify the implementation of my print fleet?
To overcome the challenges of coordinating multiple parties, it may be a good idea to work with a single point of contact, such as a project manager.
This person will oversee the entire roll-out process, from ordering to validation of the print fleet, ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
3) How do you ensure continuity of service?
When building your project, it's important to ensure that the supplier you choose provides you with high-quality follow-up, and undertakes to support you throughout this transition phase. Switching from your current installation to the new one can involve a period of downtime that can be detrimental to your business. Your supplier must be able to contractually commit to service continuity.
4) How to optimize equipment use?

- optimum print and scan speeds ;
- an ergonomic, easy-to-access control panel, enhanced with customization functions;
- perfect control of parameter and connector integration;
- precise upstream assessment of the number of devices required to match your company's exact needs and uses.
5) How can I protect my printing equipment?
It's important to select a service provider with security expertise. For this reason, it's best to choose a printer fleet equipped with an advanced administration system that enables you to :
- manage access ;
- share resources ;
