Customer Success Story: DB Schenker Australia
DB Schenker is a global logistics provider with 94,000 employees worldwide. Its Australian arm has partnered with Konica Minolta since 2009.
Before 2011, Schenker Australia managed printing across multiple vendors at high cost, with outdated data protection. Konica Minolta consolidated 311 devices down to 127, backed by Optimised Print Services, automated toner ordering, and pull printing that replaced pre-printed stationery. Total cost of ownership fell 20 to 30%, the fleet shrank 59%, and electricity use dropped by more than half.
Konica Minolta came into our company committed to learn our business operations and internal systems, and from this they identified exactly what would benefit us most. It was a true partnership.
