Associated Food Stores saves $50,000 annually with Lexmark managed print services

Associated Food Stores, Inc. (AFS), a wholesale distributor to supermarkets, faced challenges with an aging and inefficient print infrastructure. Its many unnetworked printer models from multiple manufacturers caused frequent business disruptions and repair delays. Seeking a cost-effective solution, AFS partnered with vendor Lexmark for a managed print services program to overhaul its operations.

Lexmark implemented a standardized fleet of its T-series printers and provided comprehensive managed print services, including remote monitoring and proactive supplies management. This solution saved AFS an estimated $50,000 annually, eliminated downtime, and improved operational efficiency by reliably handling a wide variety of media, from prescription labels to heavy card stock.
