About how our Managed Document Services can help your business

The Challenge

Following a formal tender process, Ethos was appointed as Bradfords Building Supplies managed document provider. Bradfords, a 250-year-old building supplies company, has over 40 offices around the West of the country and employs over 10,000 people.

Bradfords required in excess of 150 devices, with a full complement of service support and maintenance.

Trusted by trades and loved by locals since 1770. Bradfords, have been proudly serving our communities across the South West for 250 years.

Since day one, Bradfords have been family owned and today, with over 40 branches across the West Country and a team of 800, we’re just as committed to helping you find the right product for the job as we were back then.

“The devices provide the sophistication and architecture to evolve with changing business needs.”

The Solution

Ethos delivered a fleet of managed devices that provide general day-to-day office
functionality of printing and scanning and a Print Management solution.


The installed devices replaced obsolescent equipment and provided Bradfords
with the sophistication and architecture to evolve with their changing business
needs.

Improved Service

Bradfords can access Ethos’ in-house service desk, providing support remotely, or in person through on-site engineer visits.

Cost Control

Unifying the fleet under an MPS contract reduced overall print costs by correctly
managing usage and consumables.

Continuing Service

Bradfords have the architecture to develop their current workflow
processes, with the long-term goal of committing to barcoded invoices.
