Supply chain issues continue to pose challenges for companies that use office laser printers and barcoding equipment such as label printers, scanners, data capture devices, and more. Computer chip shortages, port congestion, labor shortages, raw material shortages, and unprecedented demand are only a few problems that are causing extended delays in deliverability of this critical equipment, and forecasts for relief range from the second half of this year to at least two years away.
This is putting many companies in a bind. They depend on laser printers in the front office, as well as barcoding equipment and technology in their manufacturing and logistics to efficiently run their operations.
With All This Uncertainty, Failing To Plan Is Definitely Planning To Fail
Many corporate plans for printer and equipment upgrades have been put on hold due to these supply chain issues. While you wait for this situation to improve, what’s your plan B? Who knows how long supply chain problems will continue? Breakdowns can cause significant heartburn to your company, especially when the replacement equipment is months away from being delivered.
To alleviate these issues, smart companies are currently investing in comprehensive equipment service plans for their existing mission-critical laser printers, barcode label printers, and other barcoding and data capture equipment. Extending the useful life of your existing equipment can help you get through these shortages and delays, making sure your operations run smoothly while you wait for the new equipment to arrive.
The key is to partner with a service provider who offers a variety of equipment service plans and options; and can customize them to fit your specific needs. Who can do this? General Data Service!
