PRINT MANAGEMENT

Better printing, better productivity, better business.

 

By managing your in-house printing more effectively, or outsourcing it to a provider, you release the most valuable resources within your organisation to focus on more critical tasks.

Print management solutions provide an automated way to manage, monitor, and optimise your printing processes. Giving you control of costs, improving efficiency, and by better deploying your resources – you can take full ownership of your printing, without the hassle.

Consultancy at the cutting edge
Our technicians and engineers are consistently researching and testing new technologies to enable them to bring competitive advantages to our clients whenever they occur.
From server to the cloud and back again
As an independent reseller, we utilise partnerships with multiple vendors to build a tailored solution that takes into account the best hardware, software, and architecture for your specific business needs.

OVERCOMING YOUR CHALLENGES THROUGH OUR EXPERIENCE

The accelerated adoption of print management can seem challenging

The shift to remote and hybrid working has vastly increased the use of cloud and subscription print management services – at the same time as an explosion of technological advancement in both hardware and software.

With so much choice and change, it can be challenging to make the right decision when building a full service solution.

Integration
Working with an external provider requires a good relationship and a solid understanding of how your current printing setup works. Without integrating the right people and processes, on both sides, the partnership won’t deliver value.
Workflow
Whether it’s an automated or a relationship-based process, workflow needs to be seamless between your business requirements and your provider’s delivery. Our consultative partnership approach ensures success.
Cost
Rolling subscription models need to deliver value for money for the volume of printing, otherwise they can become a sore point at budget meetings when under or overused.
Security
The nature of your relationship with a third party provider means that you’ll be sharing sensitive data. Agreeing robust policies and procedures for information security is essential.
Scalability
If your business has fluctuating needs in printing volume and complexity, you need to be confident that your print management provider can handle the ups and downs sufficiently – in order to maintain service level agreements.

Area 51

Our in-house testing lab, affectionately named Area 51, is where we test new combinations of hardware and software before we recommend it to clients. Not only does it allow us to build better print management systems, but we can also test its integration into other services we might be building for you like digital mailrooms or automated document workflows.

Don’t just take
our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

Commercial’s digitisation team came to the aid of a leading television production company when their print management solution urgently needed an upgrade. After the previous software lapsed, leading to security vulnerabilities, the Commercial team immediately took over, bringing the software up to the latest versions. They then worked on a subsequent upgrade to meet the production company’s security protocols.

Innovation and insights

Endless technological advancements are changing the way we manage print.

Finding ways to ‘design out’ waste in printing hardware and software is becoming the race to win, as providers look to differentiate themselves with more environmentally and socially sustainable services.

Discarding incorrect printing is soon to be a thing of the past, as erasable printing technology becomes a reality and allows you to erase and reprint errors.

Security innovations, like biometric access, is also protecting printing from unauthorised use and access. Utilising bar coding and fingerprint scanners, your devices can be securely locked down at varying permissions levels and ensure that only approved employees can use them.

Don’t just take
our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The Tesco procurement team have been delighted with the way Commercial share our desire to entrench sustainability into our supply chain – we really are kindred spirits. Our ethical and sustainability policies are of paramount importance to our reputation and the Commercial team reviewed and approved all products in a short timeframe. Commercial are already committed to the ETI base code and are working on achieving EcoVadis accreditation for all suppliers on the Tesco account.
The new Walsall Housing Group office is a fantastic, fresh and modern workplace thanks to the wonderful work of the Commercial interiors team. They created a steering group to work alongside us to understand our demands and held regular meetings during the design process to keep us informed of the progress. Our desire was for a more collaborative space, with meeting booths and one-to-one seating, rather than traditional desks – and they delivered a fantastic final fit-out over the full four-floor building.
Each year, Commercial supplies accessory packs to graduate trainees at a leading accountancy firm, which are then picked, packed, and delivered to their home addresses by the Commercial Foundation. This not only guarantees that every new employee has the necessary equipment to be productive from their first day but also allows their IT team to focus on other responsibilities. Collaborating with the Commercial Foundation generates substantial social value returns on investment for the firm and contributes to improving the lives of the Foundation's volunteers.
Wollens have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful partnership with Commercial because they are always introducing innovations and improvements to our IT environment. As the threat of cyber-attacks increases it was vital that we strengthened our capabilities for dealing with a ransomware attack with a cloud-based backup solution. Our solution means data cannot be altered or deleted, giving us a crucial way of recovering data to minimise any potential downtime and financial losses
Working with Commercial for our branded materials has proved to be effective and collaborative. The team is efficient and they listen to requests for improvements. Commercial has made branded goods simple.
As E-commerce in retail continues to grow, Commercial’s stock-management and fulfilment expertise has allowed a leading UK retailer to free huge amounts of warehouse space. Commercial took on the stocking of our employee uniform, transferring to a new supplier with the management of the supply being consolidated into their existing supply accounts. Not only did this free vital space in their distribution centre, the consolidated supply of all GNFR delivered significant delivery cost savings.
At JoJo Maman Bébé we are happy to work with the Commercial Foundation and support inspiring work they do to help disadvantaged young adults. Like us, the Foundation are a B Corp certified organisation that is proven to put purpose ahead of profits. We have enjoyed working with their volunteers to help with a mug-making activity. We are now working alongside them to create an introduction gift for our new employees, these include printed mugs, pens and notebooks.
