Revenue For My Architecture and Engineering Firm

What are you doing in 2021 to help increase revenue for your AEC firm? Does it have to do with adding on more projects? Or maybe marketing efforts to better promote your brand? What about tracking and billing back for all print expenses?

If your firm isn’t already tracking every print, allocating those costs, and invoicing clients for reimbursements, you are missing out on a huge amount of revenue. 

New call-to-action

To efficiently capture this revenue stream, your firm needs a solution that accurately collects print and copy data while integrating these costs into your accounting system for reimbursement.  

Follow along as we dive into an AEC-specific solution that won’t disrupt existing workflows, captures every print and copy expense, and makes invoicing those costs a painless process. 

Increase Revenue For Your AEC Firm

Printing in the AEC industry can be complicated and expensive. Whether your print environment consists of small format, large format, or color production machines, tracking the exact size, quality, and quantity of every print is imperative. 

Accurate tracking isn’t all. You need your staff to correctly assign those costs to the proper project for reimbursement. Then, migrate that billing data into your accounting system for monthly client billing. 

We’re happy to let you know about a powerful print and copy tracking solution that meets all of those needs, helping your firm track costs and bill back those printing expenses. 

 

Argos: Print and Copy Tracking for AEC

Argos tracks every print and copy job at your company and then helps your staff assign those document costs to a project or account code. Once collected, this information is sent to your accounting system for client reimbursement or internal cost allocation.

Compatible with large format printers, MFPs, and color production equipment, Argos captures every print and copy expense directly from the printer. 

After a print is released or copy is made, Argos prompts your staff back at their computer to assign those costs to the proper project, phase, and task. Gone are the days of slowing typing in project codes at the copier panel!
