What clients say
Told straight, by the people who hired us
Their support team is prompt and thorough, and they work together if ever escalation is needed to resolve your pain as quickly as possible. I highly recommend them!
Metro's level of service is unusual these days, they are prompt, they are efficient, they are knowledgeable and they are pleasant to work with. We have many Metro printers onsite and 2 of them are very large and crucial to our production process. Metro gives top priority to getting us back up and running quickly so our production lines are not down.
We, just this week, had a new machine delivered. The delivery and pick up process were perfect. The field support rep that came out to get us up and running was great about explaining the changes, taught me some shortcuts that will make my day easier, and was very kind and professional.
FAQ
Questions manufacturers ask us before the first call
What plant managers and operations leaders ask us most about downtime, ransomware, print costs and paperwork. Anything else, a real person will answer today.
Ask us directlyManaged IT services keep production running by monitoring networks around the clock and catching problems before they cause a shutdown. For manufacturers, reducing unplanned downtime through proactive IT support directly protects revenue and shipping deadlines.
Manufacturing companies are frequent targets of ransomware and phishing attacks because any disruption to production creates immediate financial pressure. A managed cybersecurity strategy that includes email security, network monitoring, and employee training helps close the gaps attackers look for.
Most companies spend 1 to 3 percent of their revenue on printing without realizing it. Managed print services give manufacturers visibility into that spending and a plan to cut unnecessary costs across the full printer fleet.
Manufacturing document management software digitizes forms, work orders, and compliance paperwork so production and administrative teams can find what they need in seconds instead of digging through file cabinets. This kind of workflow automation cuts down on manual data entry and reduces costly errors.
Yes. A good technology partner will assess your current production systems and design a plan that connects legacy equipment with modern IT infrastructure rather than requiring a costly, disruptive replacement.
