Having a single panel can save you up to $4,800 per year.

Managing a fleet of 500 printers from varied brands can be far more costly than it seems. Each manufacturer sends alerts and reports through different channels, forcing technicians to spend valuable time searching for and consolidating information before they can act. This repetitive process creates inefficiencies that, by the end of the year, result in significant costs.

Let’s look at a realistic example:

-500 printers from varied brands.

-Each technician spends 4 hours per month consolidating data.

-Average hourly cost per technician: $20.

-Team of 5 technicians.

Calculation:

-4 hours × $20 × 12 months = $960 per technician per year.

-$960 × 5 technicians = $4,800 per year spent solely on gathering scattered information.

This invisible cost accumulates without many organizations even noticing it. But with Nubeprint, all that time and effort can be recovered. Its platform allows you to integrate and visualize your entire printer fleet — regardless of brand — in a single centralized panel. From there, technicians can access real-time data on usage, alerts, incidents, and device status within seconds, without having to browse multiple portals or check dozens of emails.

The result: fewer hours on repetitive tasks, higher productivity, and faster, more accurate decisions. Beyond the financial savings, it also improves operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

In short, consolidating all your printer information in a single panel not only simplifies management but can save you up to $4,800 per year.

Did you know…? Automating page billing with Nubeprint can save you up to $12,000 a year.

In Managed Print Services (MPS), manual page billing remains one of the slowest and most expensive tasks. Many companies spend entire workdays collecting meter readings, verifying their accuracy, and generating invoices — a process that consumes critical time and resources, not to mention the human errors that impact profitability and customer satisfaction.

Let’s take as an example a company that manages 500 printing devices. Collecting, checking, and recording data from each device takes between 3 and 6 minutes; assuming an average of 5 minutes per device, that’s 2,500 minutes per month — around 40 hours every month dedicated exclusively to billing. If the average hourly cost of administrative staff is $25/hour, the full formula is:

40 hours/month × $25/hour × 12 months = $12,000/year.

That’s $12,000 spent just on time devoted to billing pages! And that doesn’t even include possible errors, reissues, or time lost reviewing discrepancies.

Nubeprint offers an efficient solution by fully automating this process. Its technology, based on AI and cloud connectivity, automatically collects meter readings, verifies their consistency to prevent unjustified jumps, applies contract-based billing rules, and generates reports without manual intervention. Its universal connection allows the information to be sent directly to your billing system, enabling it to issue error-free invoices with the desired level of detail.

The impact is immediate: fewer hours spent on repetitive tasks, elimination of errors, and improved accuracy, productivity, and control. In addition, administrative teams can focus on higher-value activities, such as customer service or print fleet optimization.

In short, automating billing with Nubeprint not only provides direct savings of up to $12,000 per year, but also represents a significant improvement in operational efficiency.

Printers that stop working due to low toner can cost €12,000 per year.

In the managed printing sector, service continuity is essential. Every time a printer stops working due to low toner, not only is time lost, but hidden costs, unnecessary incidents, and, above all, a deterioration in the customer experience are also generated.

Let’s imagine a distributor who manages a fleet of 800 printers. If, over the course of a month, 40 of them (5%) stop working due to depleted consumables, the economic impact is significant.

Each stoppage involves calls to technical support, order management, possible urgent shipments, and even on-site visits. If we estimate an average cost of €25 per incident (considering staff time, logistics, and lost productivity), the monthly cost amounts to €1,000.

Over the course of a year, that’s €12,000 in avoidable losses. And beyond the economic aspect, there are intangible consequences: interruptions in the customer’s work, wear and tear on the support team, and loss of confidence in the service.

With Nubeprint, this scenario is completely transformed. Its predictive monitoring technology detects toner levels in real time and automates shipping before the stoppage occurs. This way, incidents due to lack of consumables can be reduced by up to 90%.

In our example, instead of 40 printers down per month, there would only be 4. The monthly cost would drop from €1,000 to €100, representing a saving of €900 per month, or €10,800 per year.

In addition to direct savings, the distributor gains efficiency, improves customer satisfaction, and reinforces its image as a reliable and proactive supplier.

Don’t wait for your printers to break down.

Checking emails from printers without a system costs a fortune.

In many companies, the control of printing consumables still depends on emails generated by the printers themselves. These notifications, far from being a practical solution, represent a source of inefficiency and a considerable hidden expense.

A real-life case study demonstrates this with compelling figures: an organization with 1,400 devices loses more than €60,000 per year in administrative time alone, spent checking emails and manually managing the supply of consumables. The formula is simple, but devastating:

Devices × 3 min × 4.33 weeks / 60 × hourly cost (€17) x 12

Applied to 1,400 devices, the result is a recurring cost that depletes resources without adding value.

The problem is exacerbated because the emails sent by printers are not immediate. They may arrive every two or three days, or even weekly. This means that the information arrives late: the toner may run out before the notification is read, causing downtime. In the worst-case scenario, this translates into poor service, lost productivity, and more hidden costs.

One of these is the need to maintain high stock levels to cover emergencies. As the information is neither accurate nor in real time, the only solution is to store surplus consumables, tying up capital that could be better invested.

Faced with this situation, technology offers smarter alternatives. Nubeprint transforms print fleet management with a system that provides real-time, daily information. This allows companies to accurately anticipate needs, ensuring that consumables arrive when they are really needed.

The advantages are numerous:

• Reduced administrative costs by eliminating manual mail review.

• Optimized stock, avoiding unnecessary accumulation.

• Prevention of downtime by detecting critical levels before they affect service.

• Improved user satisfaction with a continuous flow.

• Sustainability, reducing waste from urgent or oversized purchases.

In short, continuing to rely on printer emails can cost tens of thousands of euros per year. Adopting a solution such as Nubeprint makes printing an agile, cost-effective process that is aligned with the strategic objectives of any organization.

A demolished church will be rebuilt using 3D printing.

In the city of Liberec (Czech Republic), an unprecedented project is capturing the attention of the architectural and technological world. It involves the reconstruction of an old evangelical church, demolished during the communist regime in 1976, which will be rebuilt using large-scale 3D printing. Can a printer bring back part of the past?

The most surprising thing is that this church will not be built using traditional methods, but with 3D printers capable of producing large volumes of structural material. This will significantly reduce construction time and costs.

3D printing in architecture is moving from being an experiment to becoming a real solution. Similar projects have begun to emerge in various parts of the world, from homes and bridges to public structures.

Precision, reduced material waste, and adaptability to different environments make this technology increasingly attractive.

The durability of the material has been proven with a sample sent to Antarctica, where it withstood a year of extreme conditions.

This system reduces the need for personnel and eliminates the use of formwork. In addition, by allowing hollow walls to be printed, much less cement is used, significantly reducing the environmental impact.

The project is currently in the conceptual phase and seeking funding to make it a reality. The reconstruction of the church in Liberec is not only a gesture toward the past, but a clear sign of the future: a model in which tradition and technology are integrated.

Nubeprint, a pioneer in intelligent cloud-based print management solutions, not only optimizes the operation and maintenance of traditional printers, but also monitors 3D printers, allowing organizations to control the status of their equipment, anticipate consumable needs, and reduce downtime.

Just as Nubeprint transforms the way we manage our printing devices, 3D-printed architecture transforms the way we conceive, preserve, and rebuild our heritage.

Both worlds, although different in application, share a common vision: to optimize resources, reduce environmental impact, and make the most of technology. When innovation is put at the service of people and memory, the future is built layer by layer.

You can prevent the theft of consumables thanks to Nubeprint.

A hospital in Wyoming was the victim of an internal theft of more than $63,000 worth of toner, which went undetected for months. The case, revealed by The Recycler, once again exposes how vulnerable institutions can be when they lack control over their consumables. How can fraud like this be prevented?

Cases like this are not new and represent a constant threat to institutions where consumables management processes lack automation, traceability, and intelligent control. However, such fraud can be prevented with a specialized solution such as Nubeprint.

Nubeprint is designed to manage the entire lifecycle of printing consumables. It automatically identifies which cartridge each printer needs, tracks it from request to installation, and blocks any attempts at misuse. This eliminates diversion or theft and shields organizations from internal fraud.

Among its key features is shipment grouping, which consolidates orders from different devices or locations, reduces logistics costs, and improves inventory efficiency. This is especially useful in organizations with multiple departments or locations.

Another critical tool is customer stock control, which allows you to know at all times how many cartridges are physically at the place of use. This prevents unnecessary accumulation, reduces waste, and ensures a supply that is tailored to actual needs.

These combined features offer security and optimized management that directly improves profitability. It should not be forgotten that consumables represent the highest cost associated with printer use, and in three years they can exceed up to five times the price of the equipment.

The automation and traceability offered by Nubeprint not only allows for significant savings, but also protects against losses, fraud, and abuse such as that suffered by the Wyoming hospital.

In short, Nubeprint is a strategic solution for any institution that wants to control its resources, increase efficiency, and avoid costly incidents.

Well-managed consumables increase your profitability.

In today’s competitive market, simply selling printers without optimizing consumables management is like leaving money on the table. Many companies still view replenishment as a reactive task, waiting for the customer to request a replacement for an empty cartridge. This outdated approach not only increases costs, but also compromises customer loyalty. Today, automating and anticipating is easier and more profitable than ever. Are you ready to turn an expense into a competitive advantage?

Having stock is not the same as managing it correctly. Accumulating large quantities of consumables “just in case” is an outdated model that compromises business liquidity, ties up resources, and generates dead stock. Leading companies have replaced this practice with solutions based on real data and forecasts. Tools such as Nubeprint allow you to anticipate the exact consumption of each printer, reducing unnecessary inventory and ensuring availability at the right time.

A common but inefficient strategy is to send the complete set of color cartridges every time one runs out, to save on transportation. However, this method often results in wasted toner, lost material, and unnecessary claims. Real savings are achieved by sending only the necessary cartridge at the right time. Nubeprint facilitates this precision: its system monitors usage and predicts depletion in advance, allowing for scheduled shipments and alerts for premature installations.

In addition, 93% of incidents reported in this sector are related to consumables, especially the perception that “the cartridge has not arrived.” This is not a logistical failure, but a management problem that can be avoided. Automating and monitoring the process with Nubeprint reduces these incidents by 99.5%, which translates into fewer calls, emails, and follow-up tasks for the support team.

Finally, the information obtained through printer monitoring should be used to make strategic decisions. It is not just a matter of controlling toner levels, but of transforming that data into actions that improve profitability: reducing unnecessary stock, minimizing support costs, improving the customer experience, and generating new sales opportunities.

In this context, Nubeprint is not just a tracking tool, but a strategic ally for any printer distributor looking to grow sustainably. Implementing our solution allows you to offer a smarter, more profitable, and differentiated service, building customer loyalty and optimizing every business resource.
