Running a business in South Florida right now is expensive. From rising commercial rents in Fort Lauderdale to increasing insurance premiums across the region, operational costs are climbing.
Business owners and office managers are scrutinizing every line item looking for places to trim the fat. Yet, one of the most significant unregulated expenses often hides in plain sight: your office printing.
Many companies have no idea what they actually spend on document production. Between ad-hoc toner purchases at office supply stores, IT hours spent fixing paper jams, and inefficient desktop printers, the costs bleed out slowly but steadily.
At STAT Business Systems, we help companies in Pompano Beach and beyond regain control of these costs. If you want to inflation-proof your office budget, it’s time to stop treating printing as an incidental expense and start managing it as a strategic one.
The High Cost of “Cheap” Printers
The most common mistake we see growing businesses make is relying on a fleet of “disposable” printers bought online or at big-box retail stores.
The initial price tag of a $300 printer seems attractive. But the business model of these manufacturers is similar to razors and blades: they sell the hardware at a loss and make massive profits on the consumables. You might end up paying far more for a tiny ink cartridge than the actual value of the printer over just one year.
Furthermore, when these retail-grade machines break, they are rarely worth fixing. You throw them out and buy another, creating a cycle of waste and unpredictable spending.
The Solution: Cost Predictability via Managed Print
How do you stop this financial bleed? By moving from unmanaged retail purchasing to a Managed Print Services (MPS) agreement.
When you lease commercial-grade equipment, like our robust Kyocera multifunction printers, through STAT Business Systems, you shift from unpredictable variable costs to a fixed, predictable monthly budget.
A Managed Print approach bundles everything together:
- The Hardware: High-speed, reliable machines that don’t constantly jam.
- The Supplies: Toner is monitored remotely and shipped automatically before you run out. No more emergency runs to Staples paying retail prices.
- The Service: If a machine goes down, our local technicians are dispatched to fix it. No more pulling your IT staff away from critical projects to unjam a printer.
Why Local Service Matters for Your Bottom Line
Time is money. If your main copier goes down during end-of-month billing, how much productivity is lost?
If you are relying on a national 1-800 number for support, you might wait days for a technician to arrive. STAT Business Systems has been based in South Florida for nearly four decades. We have technicians stationed strategically across Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach counties. Our response times are faster because we are already in your neighborhood.
