In today’s economy, more companies are delaying the purchase of new equipment and are looking to extend the life of older machines. As a result, JJ Bender, LLC has launched the Self-Service Employee Learning Forum (SELF).
SELF is a free consulting program for small to mid-sized businesses considering self-service options to maintain their digital printing fleet. It is designed to help companies audit and understand their existing service cost structure in order to determine if they can realize actual cost savings by shifting to self service. The idea for an educational program stemmed from the sales team’s realization that many companies needed a primer on the world of parts and supplies.
As part of the new program, a consultant will work with companies to discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of self-servicing a machine. Other topics that can be discussed are things such as asset management, the redistribution of equipment, and purchasing patterns of parts and supplies. SELF is designed for companies that are currently self-servicing their own gear and those that are considering the transition into self-service.
