Managing print across multiple locations can feel like juggling too many balls at once. Different devices, inconsistent workflows, and varying security standards often lead to higher costs and unnecessary headaches. For companies with multiple offices, these challenges aren’t just inconvenient—they can impact productivity and your bottom line.
That’s where centralized print management comes in. By bringing all your print operations under one streamlined system, businesses can reduce waste, improve efficiency and maintain consistent, secure printing across every location.
In this article, we’ll explore why centralized print management is essential for multi-location companies and how it can transform the way you handle printing.
For companies with multiple offices, managing print environments can quickly become complicated. Without a centralized approach, each location often operates independently, which leads to:
These challenges don’t just affect your IT team—they impact productivity, budgets and even customer service. That’s why many organizations are turning to centralized print management as a smarter solution.
Centralized print management is exactly what it sounds like—bringing all your print operations under one unified system. Instead of each location managing its own devices, supplies and service calls, everything is monitored and controlled from a single point.
In practice, this means you can track usage, device health and toner supply levels across all locations in real time. It also allows you to apply consistent print rules and security protocols company-wide, reducing confusion and risk. And when updates or troubleshooting are needed, changes can often be made remotely without sending IT staff to every office.
This approach not only simplifies management but also creates a foundation for cost savings, efficiency and security—three things every multi-location company needs.
Centralized print management isn’t just about convenience—it delivers measurable benefits that impact your bottom line and overall efficiency. Here are the top advantages:
These benefits aren’t just theoretical—organizations like the Green Bay Packers, Marquette University, and UW Health have seen real results by partnering with Gordon Flesch Company (GFC) for managed print services.
As an example, before partnering with GFC, UW Health faced rising costs and inconsistent printing protocols across their six hospitals and more than 80 outpatient sites. Now, UW Health estimates that GFC has helped them recover $300 per device in consumables, produce 10 to 15% less waste from abandoned print jobs and their printer fleet has been reduced by more than 800 machines.
For multi-location companies, managing print environments without a centralized strategy can lead to unnecessary costs, inefficiencies and security risks. Centralized print management solves these challenges by creating a unified, streamlined approach that saves money, improves productivity and promotes consistent security across every office.
Transitioning to a centralized print environment starts with understanding your current setup.
