Stop Profit Leaks in MPS: Track Printer-Level Contract Costs

Would you know if a single printer was siphoning profits from an equipment lease contract? Let’s take a look at three identical printers on contract that couldn’t be more different in their profitability.

This contract assumed an average toner consumption per device. But when a single printer requires higher toner shipments, costs for that device skyrocket!

If another device has a few repeated service issues, your labour expenses start adding up quickly. Over time, one or two underperforming devices can wipe out the profits from an entire contract.

One printer alone could run well over £12,000 in unplanned toner and service expenses over a year.

Fixing profitability leaks starts with integrating your ERP with device management and financial data, turning your ERP into a central hub for calculating per-device profitability, so you can:

• Track device meters and supply usage automatically.
• Identify high-cost devices before they erode margins.
• Adjust pricing based on actual usage trends.
• Optimise supply fulfilment to reduce overspending.

The right ERP centralises all the data needed to optimize MPS revenue. Without this level of control, contract profitability is at risk.

Gain a clear view of your costs to protect your margins. Relying on spreadsheets or disconnected data is a gamble with your profitability. An industry-tailored ERP provides the visibility and control needed to guarantee every device under contract is profitable. Don’t allow a single printer to wipe out your margins—get the right tools to safeguard your business.
