Client Overview
This Australian entertainment organisation has over 40 sites located in all the major centres. The organisation has used Resources for Profit’s services for a number of projects.
Client’s Goals
As is often the case, the organisations photocopying needs had been organised at site level. Consequently a number of providers were involved, contractual obligations were unclear and the use of current technologies was limited. Resources for Profit were asked to review the situation, with the objective of identifying and developing a structured provider arrangement with cost and technology benefits.
Project Summary
Working with operational management and staff, Resources for Profit firstly developed an understanding of the existing situation, identifying the cost profile, contractual obligations and site needs (including a number of site visits). This was confirmed with the Client and taken to market. A suitable provider identified, who were able to offer a total print solution for each site (previously ad hoc), recognising the varying needs site by site.
Outcome
A single supplier solution was identified. This included the elimination of numerous old contracts and outdated equipment, and the upgrading of existing equipment where contracts were current.
Each site has been equipped with current technologies, improved outputs and all at lower costs than previously experienced. The contractual position is now understood and average savings are in excess of 30%.
