Quick answers
before you switch.
What is managed print services (MPS)?
Managed print brings your printers and copiers, the service on them and the toner they use into one program, usually billed per page. Instead of your team tracking toner orders and repair calls, we monitor the fleet and look after it for you.
How does managed print work for a small business?
It starts with a free fleet assessment. We look at the machines you have, how much each one prints and where they sit, then suggest the right number and mix of devices. Once you're set up, we read meters automatically where the device supports it and ship OEM toner before you run low, from our stock in Vancouver and Burnaby.
Is managed print worth it?
It depends on your office. It tends to pay off when you have several machines, a mix of brands, or keep running out of toner and paying for repairs as they come up. If you have one printer that rarely needs anything, a simple service agreement may suit you better. Our assessment includes a total cost analysis, so you can see which way makes sense before you commit.
How do I choose a managed print provider in the Lower Mainland?
Look for technicians and parts close by, response times written into the agreement, and genuine OEM supplies. It also helps when the provider works with more than one brand, so the advice isn't tied to one manufacturer. Automation One has served Metro Vancouver offices since 1981, works with Canon, Xerox, Lexmark, FP and Ideal.MBM, and backs covered calls with a 90-minute average and 4-hour maximum on-site response.
