Do you know how much you’re spending on your file transfer?

November 4th, 2011

Have you ever calculated how much time your staff spend transferring files and dealing with the aftermath when things go wrong?  We’ve worked closely with printers for many years and from our experience, the average print company using traditional FTP and/or online services (e.g. yousendit), spends approximately 90 minutes a day dealing with the transfer of artwork files.

Now translate that into a tangible business cost and it becomes clear just how inefficient these methods of file transfer are. If you take into account the average printer’s salary and consider their true cost to the business a conservative estimate of their average hourly cost is £18.75.

£18.75 x 1.5hrs = £28.13 a day for file transfer

251 working days per year x £28.13 = £7060.63 each year on file transfer!

And that doesn’t even account for the money your spending on your current file transfer solutions and services!  You can get a more accurate idea of exactly what you spend on file transfer using our ROI Calculator.

The entire StingRay package (inc. annual maintenance and installation) costs just £4489 and for this you’ll get a dedicated solution that integrates seamlessly with your internal workflows and systems whilst centralising, securing and automating your file transfer processes. It would take less than 8 months to recoup your initial investment and from there on in, you’ll be saving over £7000 a year! On top of this, you’ll benefit from the value that StingRay can add to your business in terms of improved customer experience and retention, reduction in human error and faster turn around.
