Case study

Printforce

Energy Action gets substantial savings in excess of $50,000 per annum across the portfolio

The client

Printforce is an Australian real estate marketing, commercial printing and signage business operating multiple production sites across Western Australia and New South Wales. With energy intensive equipment and tight operating margins, electricity procurement plays a critical role in maintaining cost control and operational efficiency.

The Problem

Energy is a core input cost in commercial printing, particularly where production equipment operates at high utilisation levels. 

Printforce required a more structured procurement approach across sites in different state.

The business was seeking better visibility of energy consumption data to support internal reporting and emerging carbon management objectives.

“Printforce has been a fantastic client to work with. The team is proactive, collaborative and focused on getting the best outcomes for their business. Delivering strong savings across both Perth and NSW sites was a great result for everyone involved.”
Ben Thorn, Account Manager, Energy Action

The Solution

Energy Action worked with Printforce to review procurement timing and implement a more structured approach to market engagement.

A competitive reverse auction process created tension among retailers, helping drive improved pricing outcomes. This was supported by Utilibox, which centralised energy data across sites and provided clear visibility of kWh consumption, contract positions and performance.

This visibility enabled Printforce not only to better manage procurement decisions, but also to monitor energy usage trends across its operations. With a clearer understanding of consumption patterns, the business is better positioned to track its carbon footprint and identify opportunities to reduce it over time.

The combination of structured procurement and data transparency delivered both financial and operational benefits, strengthening Printforce’s ability to manage energy as a controllable business cost.
