Managing hundreds of printers and copiers across multiple locations can quickly become a logistical nightmare. For a Chicago-based food manufacturer in 2025, this challenge had grown into a full-blown operational obstacle. With over 450 devices spread across multiple states and more than 1,000 employees relying on consistent print performance, limited visibility, inconsistent service, and complex vendor management were costing time, money, and efficiency.
By partnering with Pulse Technology and implementing a Managed Print Solution featuring Sharp devices, centralized reporting, nationwide support, and simplified billing, this company achieved not just operational improvements—but a complete transformation in how their print environment supported business goals.
Before implementing a centralized print management strategy, the company faced:
Previous attempts to streamline operations failed, leaving the company with rising costs, operational uncertainty, and growing inefficiencies. It became clear that a partner with expertise in managed print solutions was essential to restore stability and control.
The company’s leadership realized that piecemeal solutions and multiple vendors were no longer sustainable. They needed:
Pulse Technology provided a comprehensive solution. With nationwide coverage, service guarantees, and advanced reporting tools, Pulse brought stability, transparency, and measurable results by turning a fragmented print environment into a cohesive system.
The Managed Print Solution implemented by Pulse Technology went beyond installing equipment. Every aspect of the multi-state print environment was optimized for visibility, control, and efficiency:
This structured, end-to-end implementation allowed the company to shift from fragmented operations to a smoothly managed, efficient print environment.
The impact of centralized print management was immediate and measurable:
✅ Improved uptime across all devices, minimizing operational disruptions
✅ Faster service response and reliable support
✅ Simplified vendor management with a single, accountable partner
✅ Streamlined billing and reduced administrative burden
✅ Higher employee satisfaction thanks to reliable, user-friendly devices
✅ Expanded operational visibility with centralized reporting tools
These results went beyond technical improvements. Leadership gained real-time insights, facility managers experienced smoother workflows, and the company achieved predictable operational costs and long-term savings.
Most companies treat printing as a basic task, but for forward-thinking organizations, it’s a critical operational backbone. Centralized management, standardized technology, and a single trusted partner can transform a previously fragmented and costly print operation into a reliable, efficient system.
By consolidating over 450 devices under a Managed Print Solution, this Chicago-based food manufacturer achieved:
