Background

“We have around 35 devices, which were managed differently before Topcart. Another company handled maintenance for around half of the devices. We took care of the remaining devices ourselves. Whenever something broke, we had to find a solution ourselves and decide whether to purchase a new device or simply replace individual parts. This was very time-consuming. To save costs, we repeatedly tried to use cartridges from other manufacturers instead of the originals. However, this never really worked, and we encountered problems with the devices.”

Solution

“Topcart’s Managed Print Services package is the ideal way for us to manage and monitor all our devices uniformly. Using the in-house cartridges also allows us to save additional costs. Since we had bad experiences with other cartridges, we were initially allowed to test Topcart’s in-house cartridges. If the device were to break down, it would be replaced free of charge. However, this has not happened. To this day, we use only Topcart cartridges and have no problems. The comprehensive free service included in this solution is another benefit. Topcart takes care of all our devices, supplies us with consumables, and handles the entire service, from maintenance to troubleshooting, so that we are fully covered. In the event of major faults, a technician is on site the very same day to resolve the issue. Topcart always responds very quickly, and communication works perfectly. This is important to us in our collaboration. We also have just one contact at Topcart, which makes managing our devices much easier and means we have no disruptions to our daily work. If a device breaks down, we no longer have to deal with it ourselves: Topcart determines which device is the most cost-effective for our needs and replaces it free of charge.”

Result

“By working with Topcart, using its in-house cartridges, and benefiting from Topcart’s service and warranty, we can save around €10,000 per year. Using alternative cartridges had been a long-standing goal for us; with Topcart, we achieved it, and the amount we save is enormous. We receive products of very high quality while still being able to save significantly more. In addition, our devices are fully covered by warranty and we receive fast support. Depending on the issue, the problem is resolved within a very short time, which means we have significantly less work and can focus on our core tasks.”

It is important to me that we focus on your actual requirements—not follow a one-size-fits-all approach. I will advise you independently on your entire device fleet, regardless of whether you want to buy, rent or lease.
