Print Cost Recovery

Track it, don't guess at it! Print cost recovery so transparent and easy, you’ll only notice it working on your bottom line.

Tracking the costs of operating your printing hardware to ensure the best possible return on your investment is not complicated – you know how much you paid, the amortization schedule etc.  But if you’re not tracking and billing your costs every time you print, plot or make a copy, at best you’re likely not getting the return you need on your investment and at worst you’re losing money on the printing operation.

This is why Wadetech offers our clients The Sepialine Argos Cost Recovery platform to measure, control and recover printing-related costs, directly improving your financial results. Gone are the days of chalking up printing costs to overhead. With the Argos solution, costs can become profit.

Workflow that works the way you do

While most cost recovery products are built to stop users until they bill their expenses, Argos takes a different approach. Configurable quotas allow users to get their work done first. Users can bill their printing, plotting and copying at their convenience, or when they reach quota. This simple distinction is only possible with the enterprise-grade Argos Platform - and it means the difference between users who try to break or cheat the system, and productive employees supplying accurate data.
