How can printer management software help improve economic activity in a local market?

Amazon has set a new standard in terms of service and value but, as they've grown to dominate the internet traffic, they have also started to threaten the economic well-being of our local communities.

The Data Capture Agent

A Data Capture Agent is a software plugin that runs unobtrusively on your network and gathers innocuous data from your networked print devices. Your print devices then become a part of the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling us to convert that data into actionable business intelligence.

Military Grade Security

The software can never write to your system and is only designed to utilize one-way fully encrypted (SHA-256) data throughout its journey to our cloud-based servers for analysis. It is HIPAA compliant and certified and fully supports Windows, MacOS©, and Linux.

Maintain Full Control

The data you share from your office environment is your data and will only ever be used for your benefit. Install or remove the software at your discretion, you are in full control. There is never a fee for the software or any purchase obligation.

Okay! So now I know what Printer Management Software is, that it's safe, and that I will always remain in control of my data, but what's really it in for me?

What is the Internet of Things?

By connecting devices such as printers and copiers to the internet, they become part of the Internet of Things (IoT). This creates great value because:

All the print devices on your network are electronically identified.
The actual levels of equipment utilization are determined, allowing us to calculate the real cost of ownership of all your print devices.
When the "toner-low" light comes on there may be months of usage remaining. Our proprietary algorithms determine when the ink and toner cartridges are going to run out, ensuring you utilize 100% of the cartridge yield and never replace it before necessary.
Knowing when cartridges are needed, we can ship economically helping save costs and reducing the environmental impact.
Mapping your preferred cartridge brand to each printer maximizes savings and eliminates any confusion over cartridge compatibilities.
The need for on-premises emergency inventory and the risk of cartridge obsolescence are eliminated.

Budgeting and Cost Control

Our software is location agnostic, so we can help you manage the spending of all your employees regardless of where they work. Once you share your pages printed, color versus mono, and the machine they were printed on we will provide you with:

A cost savings analysis aligning equipment with the expected print volume.
Auto-fulfillment to reduce your administrative costs and eliminate panic runs to the local superstore and paying list prices for expensive cartridges.
Budgets assigned at the user level and routing of unexpected orders through procurement for approval.
A dashboard showing real-time printing and copier device and cartridge status.

Leveraging data to help manage your "longtail" spend

Like most businesses, you probably focus on the items you spend the most money on and leave everything else on auto-pilot. This becomes the so-called "longtail" spend and is where most suppliers try to make their greatest profits. We help you leverage your data for the maximum benefit:

We offer a vast range of products used in the office environment.
After determining your ink and toner budget we can extrapolate your expected spend on a basket of office and business products.
As a full-service provider, we can support your needs on office furniture, print, janitorial, breakroom, technology, general office supplies, promotional products, and many more.
We are positioned to become your one-stop shop and supplier of choice for all your office and business equipment needs.

Asset Management

Stop overlooking preventative maintenance and reduce the risk of unexpected downtime by maintaining control over all your printers and copiers. We will attach a label with a QR code to each of your printer and copier devices. This will enable you to:

Scan the code and report a problem via our mobile App.
Order extra cartridges to complete an unplanned print job via our mobile App.
Keep track of all company assets including those off-premise with remote workers.
Stay current with all manufacturer's warranties and extended service agreements.

Help Us to Help You

Support Local Business

We realize it takes more than just being local to earn your business. We must provide at least the same value as big online players such as Amazon. To achieve this goal we need your help. By sharing some of your data with us, you empower us to provide you with the same level of service you have come to routinely expect from the online behemoths. In fact, we can do even better because we pick up the phone when you call, and we come and see you when needed.
