Here are some common questions we are asked and their answers...

How do you calculate the cost per copy and why is this number important?

Your supplier calculates this number using the meter charge only which gives you an inaccurate picture of your real document production costs. CopyWatch calculates this number using the meter charge plus capital, plus maintenance, plus supplies, to get a realistic, total cost per copy. Total cost of document production is generally four to eight times higher than the copier supplier would have you believe. This is in the supplier's interest,not yours.

"What if we are already under contract with a supplier(s)?"

Over 90% of our clients are under contractual obligations with their copier/printer supplier(s) when we work with them. Our service is a turnkey process that handles the buyout of any current contractual obligations that are in place, without any capital outlay by your organization. In fact, the buyout of these agreements is typically negligible when compared to the savings we can bring to your organization.

"Are you a copier vendor? Do you have any ties with copier vendors?"

We are independent cost consultants with no ties to copier vendors. In fact, most of the major copier vendors do not like us because we help you to get the absolute best deals for your document production needs, which skinnies up their profit margins.

"We are already very busy with several projects. How much of our time will this take?

We bear the risk, the time, and the effort throughout this process, so that you can focus your time and effort on the important work within your organization. We will ask for 5 minutes of your time on the front end of the process to send out some provided letters, and for 20 minutes of your time to review our report and recommendations.

"We are a large organization with a great copier deal already in place. How can you beat that?"

We consistently find savings in excess of 800% for Fortune 500 clients on down, and all of them believed they had the best deal already. We work with these types of deals everyday, within the US and overseas; let us show you, on a no-risk basis, how we can do the same for you.
