Pcounter for Clients and Projects

Many companies in the world who have clients and projects as their core income are using Pcounter as a tool to track client and project related print. The customer list include small to well-known prestigious firms, who all had the objective to get the client or project print cost under control, either for internal use or for the purpose of billing the client.

Pcounter provide the opportunity to track all print cost in the firm, which then will be split between clients and departments. This tool provides a total overview in regard to print cost and volume, and hereby an overview on print cost pr department and/or client/project. When used to track print cost pr client, then can the target either be to recover the print cost (billing) or simply to get a better overview in regard to cost pr client.

Pcounter will not change the way staff prints today. The only change will be the Pcounter popup menu which is activated when a print-job is requested. The client code or department code is simply typed into the popup menu, and Pcounter will take care of the rest.

Pcounter will provide an overview on the total print cost in the company or institution. Market research shows that most companies in the world have no control or view in regard to cost of printing. In general the cost of printing is many times higher than most companies and institutions "thing", and research shows that companies and institutions which is aware of the real cost also is very focused on controlling and decreasing the cost.

The first step is to know the cost, and the most effective way of doing this is to install print tracking software, which in Pcounters case also can be used to control and decrease the cost.

Studies show that just by installing tracking software, the print volume (internal) decreases between 10-15%. If the print volume and cost is being tracked by e.g. department and communicated to the department each quarter, the print volume and cost will decrease even further.
