The proportion of MPS agreements increases as these simplify print management and cost control for customers. This leads to increased complexity for manufacturers and retailers to manage logistics and monitoring. Control and monitoring require advanced administrative system with increased need for IT integration.

Our control tower is an important part of getting a better cost control and thereby increasing profitability.

Printer manufacturers and resellers need an independent partner to support the need for complex and demanding MPS management.

Our ambition is to create a platform for simple cost monitoring as follows:

• Efficient processes result in lower costs

• Our pricing model is based on variables that are easy to control. The most important are the number of products to be handled per order and in total as well as the number of shipments to be sent

• Everything is included in the price, no extra costs will be added

• The forecast that was initially submitted to Apace is the basis for our planning of resources, pricing and our delivery capacity

• Adjustment of the stated forecast entails a change in the pricing of our services

• Monitoring of outcomes and price adjustment shall be made at least once every six months

• Invoicing for services provided by Apace takes place weekly in arrears with a 15-day net payment period
