Britannia Hotels discovering opportunities for cost savings and streamlined print processes
With 52 hotels across the UK comprising more than 10,000 bedrooms, Britannia Group offers high value, quality accommodation. Over the years, the organisation had accrued a disparate fleet of printers across its estate. The fleet was not fit for purpose and unable to cope with the volumes or output. Britannia Hotels partnered with Konica Minolta and its Discovery Service to surface potential cost savings and process efficiencies.
Britannia Hotels discovers reduced costs and streamlined print processes
Britannia Hotels had accrued a disparate fleet of printers across the organisation. This fleet wasn't fit for purpose and unable to cope with the volumes or output. a key issues with the fleet was the inconsistency in print models, which had resulted in increased operating costs. Each device required different consumables, which tied money up in stock.
Britannia hotels needed a more cost effective, reliable and easy to manage solution which would improve productivity, increase efficiency for staff and reduce the burden placed on the IT department.
Working in partnership with Konica Minolta, a 'Discovery process was implemented to assess potential cost savings and process efficiencies. An audit was conducted of selected sites to assess print processes, waste, workflows and costs to determine requirements.
Whilst the key driver was to realise cost efficiencies, Konica Minolta's proposal also looked at ways in which the company could streamline business processes with document management solutions. Following the implementation of the new fleet Britannia were able to:
- Cut there monthly costs by two-thirds
- Achieve greater clarity into the print habits of its employees
- Reduced the time its IT department spent on print-related queries
Focus on your core tasks and let us manage your printing infrastructure
Are you aware of your printing costs? If yes, you already know that hardware and consumables only account for some of it. Other aspects to consider are the infrastructure, which should fit your company’s specific requirements, and has to adapt to the processes and workflows it is a part of. Most importantly, you just want everything to work!
Concentrate on your core business objectives and break free from mundane tasks
Daily, the flood of information, data and documents that companies need to deal with is growing – e-mails, data files, invoices etc. inflate the data volume. Unstructured knowledge is frequently stored in disparate data silos, which makes internal procedures more time-consuming, impedes transparency, and can delay important decisions.
Britannia Hotels has experienced a significant reduction in its print costs. Right-sizing the fleet delivered immediate and considerable savings across the cost of consumables and IT support, and the company has cut its monthly print budget by two-thirds. Download the case study to read more.
