Small change,big savingsBased on the findings of a recent print audit,
we made a few suggestions to a company
which resulted in big cost savings. For example,
an employee, printing 500 sheets per week, was
using an inkjet printer on his desk. It was costing
the business £975 per quarter. We recommended
replacing the inkjet with a networked laser device,
which would reduce the cost to £318 per quarter.
This small change meant a saving of more than
£2,500 per year!
Cost effective solutions
“Balreed continues to add value to any new initiatives and business changes, and has improved the quality of the work we do for our clients. The cost savings have exceeded our expectations – an excellent partnership all round.”
Gartner Dataquest, 2008
Chief Financial Officer, healthcare company
P R I N T � C O P Y � S C A N � M A N A G E
“Companies that actively manage their document output will be able to save between 10 and 30 percent of their recurrent spending.”
print auditA print audit is an analysis of your current print
and copy devices, the volumes they produce, your
colour to mono print ratio and your equipment
deployment. Understanding the true cost of
producing printed pages means you can make
informed decisions about your fleet, realise cost
savings and efficiencies across the business, as
well as cut your carbon footprint by reducing
energy consumption and minimising waste.
Two years ago, Balreed Digitec conducted a print audit
for one of the world’s leading healthcare companies.
We found that there was potential for substantial cost
savings and efficiencies across the business, coupled
with a need for better technology and print quality.
One of the recommendations we made was to install
a production machine at their head office, enabling
them to print medical and instruction manuals
on demand. Ongoing improvements mean that
the company’s current audited savings are now
over £586,000.

Anticipating your needsOne of our clients, who runs their business 24/7, started
doing much higher volumes than usual. We knew about
it straight away because we can remotely manage our
devices. We know when routine maintenance is due
or when there is only 20% of your toner left. We were
on to it straight away. A quick call to the client and
extra toner stocks were delivered so they could
work through the night.
Remote management service wins praise
Pre-Press Manager, South West
“Balreed has given us exactly what they promised: quick and professional service support, close account management, a cheerful and helpful manner from whoever I speak to and, above all else, a feeling that the client comes first.”
remote managementOur market-leading remote management software means that we can monitor your equipment and track activity from afar. So, when your device needs attention or consumables, we know about it before you do and we have the information we need before arriving on site.
First thing on a Friday morning, our remote management
software alerted us that a device had an unusual fault.
The engineer called ahead to the City client and
discovered that a cup of coffee had been spilled
down the back of the machine. He asked the client to
disconnect the device for safety reasons and advised him
that there was no chance of fixing the machine that day.
Our local service manager immediately phoned the
client and, after a brief discussion to check the urgency
of the situation, a loan machine was sent from our
warehouse, installed and fully networked within
three hours. The client was able to finish the
outstanding print jobs before the weekend.
Chief Information Officer, London
“I am happy to say that despite a discouraging start to my Friday, it all ended much better than expected. I was most impressed with the quick decision-making and even faster actiontaken to solve the problem. Well done.”

Optimising fleet efficiencyOur Service Manager recently called on one of our clients to review our service standards. He presented a fullreport covering all activity for the period. The client could see from the data that three of the devices were doing higher volumes than expected, while one device was hardly doing any volume at all. They discussed rebalancing the fleet so that the loads were even and remedial action was agreed. The client was also very satisfied that all service targets had been met.
Going that extra mileOne of our larger clients called us in recently
to discuss upgrading some of their equipment
supplied by another provider. During the
meeting, we were told that on one of the
floors, some of this equipment was out of
service and that most of the print and copy
work was being routed through a multi-
functional device provided by Balreed on
a lower floor. In view of their predicament
and to give the client time to consider their
options going forward, we suggested providing
them with a loan device. A quick call to the
service manager and it was on site within hours.
Managing Director, South East
IT Manager, London
“I am very impressed at how you spotted the opportunity to exceed my expectations and stepped in to fill the gap. Please pass on mythanks to everyone concerned, it is a job well done.”
accountmanagementEach of our account managers makes it their personal
responsibility to ensure clients are completely satisfied with
all aspects of the relationship. Behind the scenes, you will
find analysts, the management team, the delivery crew, IT
and installation technicians, trainers and a national network
of service engineers. Call our helpdesk and you will receive
a quick response, from a real person, who takes full
responsibility for resolving your enquiry.
“Balreed Digitec provides very good after sales service. In particular, their response times and ability to fix the equipment quickly, mean that my fleet is running efficiently nearly 100% of the time. I would recommend them to anyone on the lookout for a reliable and consistent team.”

Measuring print and copy carbon emissionsOne of our clients, an educational institution, was
looking to upgrade their equipment and purchase
software which enabled them to charge back copy
and print costs to students. They liked our environmental
policy and how we select suppliers based on their green
credentials. When choosing the software, a big attraction
was the option to produce environmental impact
reports. These let the college keep track of their carbon
emissions, and can even be shown as the amount
of trees or electricity used.
Ourenvironmental policyBalreed Digitec, its partners and suppliers are
committed to environmental best practice. All of our
business activities, recommendations, and supply and
management of equipment aim to comply with the
latest green technology developments and legislation
in an effort towards a cleaner planet.
Some of the things we do for clients include:
The Carbon Trust, 2009
� Using an energy consumption calculator to work out the energy used by each device.
� Using the Carbon Trust checklist to help you reduce your print and copy carbon footprint.
� Collecting and recycling all your used consumables free of charge.
Balreed Digitec has joined the mass movement of
businesses, organisations and individuals in the 10:10
effort to reduce UK carbon emissions by 10% in 2010.
Our commitment to10:10
going green
“The business benefits are too great to ignore. Through simple measures,SMEs in the UK could save a combined£1.37 billion of energy in a single year.”

The engineer was ableto repair the fault quickly and, instead of leaving straightaway, he stayed behind after hours to oversee the job and give the customer peace of mind.
