In the office, time is money—and when your copier goes down, the cost can add up faster than you might think.
Whether it’s a stalled print job, a scanner failure, or a toner-related jam, copier issues impact far more than just the person standing in front of the machine. At STAT Business Systems, we help businesses throughout South Florida eliminate costly downtime with proactive service, dependable leasing, and responsive support.
If you’re brushing off that slow or unreliable copier, here’s what it could really be costing your business.
1. Lost Productivity Across Your Entire Team
When your copier stops working, it’s not just an inconvenience—it can bring entire workflows to a halt:
- Delayed contracts, invoices, or proposals
- Missed print deadlines for meetings or presentations
- Employees spending time troubleshooting instead of working
It only takes a few hours of downtime a week to create a ripple effect that slows down your entire team. Over time, those hours turn into days of lost productivity.
2. IT and Admin Disruption
Every time a copier breaks down, someone has to drop what they’re doing to fix it—or call for help. That could be your office manager, your IT team, or even the business owner.
The more time your staff spends resolving copier issues, the less time they have to focus on their core responsibilities. This distraction is not just frustrating—it’s expensive.
3. Damaged Client Experience
Delayed document delivery, missing printouts, or scanning failures can directly impact how your business is perceived. If you’re providing printed proposals, blueprints, or service reports to clients, copier downtime can cause missed deadlines and make your team look disorganized.
Reliable equipment reflects a reliable company. That’s why our customers trust STAT to keep their machines running at peak performance.
4. Higher Operating Costs Over Time
Older or poorly maintained copiers are more likely to:
- Use excessive toner and power
- Require frequent repairs
- Lead to rushed outsourcing of print jobs
These issues inflate your monthly expenses, even if the machine still “works.” Upgrading to a newer, more efficient Kyocera system through a copier lease reduces supply waste, eliminates surprise repairs, and provides the right tools for your team to operate efficiently.
5. Preventable Downtime = Preventable Costs
The good news? Most copier downtime is avoidable.
STAT Business Systems offers:
- Preventative maintenance
- Remote diagnostics and monitoring
- Same-day service for local clients
- Reliable machines from brands like Kyocera and KIP
With our service request system, we respond quickly before small issues turn into major breakdowns.
