Benefits of a multi-function device

“Multifunction devices offer a host of strategic benefits including more affordable printing, cheaper consumable cost and more easily managed print functionality.”

Businesses with multiple print needs generally operate with several devices. In larger companies the number of devices can frequently run in the hundreds and even thousands.

Running these separate devices can be incredibly expensive.

• Consumables – buying toners and cartridges for all devices
• Maintenance – engineer costs and replacement parts
• Hidden costs – productivity losses, calls to the help desk, information loss and security issues

A modern multi-function device can significantly reduce operating costs across your entire fleet and also increase efficiency as staff benefit from working with the latest in print technology. Copying, scanning, printing, faxing – they all benefit from multi-function devices.

MFDs confer a number of advantages to businesses who use them:

• Less energy use – Running 1 device instead of 5 will cut your energy costs dramatically. This is not only important to your profits but as the climate agenda gains traction businesses that can show a commitment to curbing carbon emissions may benefit from improved reputation.
• More efficient use of space – Reduce cost per square metre reduces the cost of print functionality and also frees up valuable resources
• Upgradeability – many multi-function devices offer RAM upgrade options allowing the device to grow with your business needs. There’s no need to replace it immediately, incurring greater costs.
• More accurate billing – multi-function devices aid fleet management enormously, allowing you to more accurately cover your print costs, turning your print functionality into a profit centre
• Remote management – Most modern MFDs are easily remote managed. Balreed’s market-leading remote management software means we know whether there’s a problem with your device before you do, and can normally fix it within hours.
