The Client
One of South Africa’s premium residential property companies. Think luxury apartments, sprawling estates, and developments where every detail matters—except, apparently, their printing costs.
The Challenge
For over 16 years, JOLT had been a trusted partner, managing various operational expenses. But as their printing needs grew, so did their costs—astronomically. The culprit? A sneaky contract clause from their current provider that allowed exorbitant fees based on ink yield and coverage. Essentially, every printed page was like signing a blank cheque.
It was time for a change.
Our Role
JOLT spearheaded a rigorous RFP project, evaluating multiple providers based on cost, service, and contract fairness. We sourced a new supplier with a solid track record and, most importantly, a contract that didn’t require a magnifying glass to understand.
The Results
40% reduction in printing costs because ink shouldn’t be more expensive than fine wine.
Seamless mobile printing. Now employees can print from their mobile phones at any office: no more “email it to yourself and pray.”
A transparent, reasonable contract: no more hidden fees lurking in the fine print.
The Takeaway
Printing costs shouldn’t be a financial black hole. By running a strategic RFP, JOLT helped their client find a provider with fair pricing, modern functionality, and a contract that made sense.
The result? Less waste, more savings, and a client who can now focus on property deals, not printing bills.
