Overview
Print fleets grow organically — a device here for a new team, another inherited through an office merger — until nobody can say how many devices exist, what they cost or which ones are actually used. That opacity is where money leaks.
Our fleet management service starts with a physical and network audit of every device across your sites. We measure real volumes, calculate genuine cost-per-page, identify underused and overworked devices, and deliver a standardisation and lifecycle plan you can act on — with ongoing reporting to keep it that way.
What's included
- Physical and network fleet audits

Why Counterlink
We have no hardware to sell, so a fleet audit from Counterlink is genuinely neutral. If the answer is fewer devices, or keeping what you have for another three years, that is what the report will say.
Frequently asked questions
What does a fleet audit involve?
We inventory every printing device across your sites, capture meter readings and network data, interview key users, and produce a report covering costs, utilisation, risks and recommendations.
How long does an audit take?
A single site is typically audited in a day. Multi-site estates are scheduled over an agreed programme, usually two to four weeks.
Is the audit tied to buying anything?
No. We sell no hardware and the audit carries no obligation. Many clients use it purely to negotiate better terms with their existing suppliers.
Can you manage the fleet on an ongoing basis?
Yes — most audit clients move to ongoing fleet management or a full managed print service with monthly reporting and SLA-backed support.
