Case Study: Cummins saves $2 million and cuts 36 million pages annually with Lexmark managed print services

Cummins cuts printing by 36 million pages a year with Lexmark

Cummins Inc., the world's largest independent manufacturer of diesel engines, faced significant challenges managing its aging global printer fleet across 190 countries. The outdated devices were prone to breakdowns, increasing maintenance costs and hurting productivity. Cummins launched its Print Smart initiative to standardize its output infrastructure, reduce costs, and cut paper consumption. They issued an RFP for a global managed print services partner, a challenge that caused several suppliers to withdraw due to the complexity.

Lexmark was selected as the global managed print services provider, implementing a fleet of its printers and MFPs along with proactive monitoring and consumables management. The solution included secure print release to reduce waste. As a result, Lexmark helped Cummins cut printing by 36 million pages annually, saving $2 million per year and reducing overall output costs by 62% monthly. The partnership also significantly reduced paper consumption and streamlined operations globally.
