Case Study: Managed Print Services Deliver 26% ROI for Hatfield Quality Meats
When Hatfield Quality Meats (Clemens Food Group) needed a smarter approach to print, Altek Business Systems delivered results. Before the assessment, Hatfield was spending nearly $86,000 a year maintaining a scattered, multi-vendor fleet of outdated inkjet and desktop printers — an inefficient setup driving up costs across the operation.
Altek‘s technicians proposed a three-phase managed print strategy: standardize the fleet, automate supply purchasing, and provide proactive service and maintenance. By retiring costly legacy devices and redeploying lower-cost, shared workgroup printers, the new centralized infrastructure delivered a 26% annual return on investment.
The result: a streamlined print strategy projected to save the food manufacturer more than $33,600 every year — $168,000 over five years.
