Embracing Automation and Intelligent Software in Managed Print Services



As a pioneering company in the development of managed print services software, we understand the critical role of automation and intelligence in staying competitive and responsive in today's fast-paced, competitive business environment.


In the world of printer management, various roles come into play, such as the supplies manager, account manager, and end-customer.


Each of these stakeholders has unique needs and demands for specific information and features.


Balancing these varied requirements without overwhelming users with irrelevant features is a challenge that intelligent, automated print management software is ideally equipped to meet.


The Power of Automation for Increased Productivity


Automation plays a vital role in enhancing productivity by eliminating manual, repetitive tasks, reducing errors, and freeing up time for more strategic activities.


In the context of print management, automation can streamline various aspects, such as supply ordering, preventive maintenance scheduling, and issue resolution, making these processes more efficient and reliable.


Automated inventory management can greatly benefit a supplies manager, by keeping track of supply levels and automatically reordering when necessary using not only traditional "triggers" such as 20% but also days left based on actual usage.


By automating inventory tracking and ordering, the risk of running out of essential supplies is eliminated. This also reduces manual effort and the possibility of violating SLAs.


Data-driven analytics and ready-made reports can also greatly benefit an account manager, by reducing time consumption while creating more value during status meetings and ongoing reporting.


End customers can access features that are of interest to them, allowing them to obtain the necessary data for their daily activities, such as CO2 footprint tracking, budgeting or understanding their procurement needs.


It's all about spending more time on conclusions rather than manually processing data.



Intelligent Software for Competitive Advantage


Intelligent software systems leverage advanced technologies like machine learning (ML) to analyze usage patterns, identify issues before they become critical, and suggest optimal resource allocation.


Such insights can help businesses respond swiftly to changing needs and maintain a competitive edge.


An account manager, tasked with maintaining customer relationships and identifying upselling opportunities, would greatly benefit from these insights.


They can use this information to proactively address customer needs, recommend suitable products or services, and enhance customer satisfaction.




Catering to the End-Customer


End-customers, the ultimate users of the printers, require a smooth, hassle-free printing experience.


Intelligent software can facilitate this by promptly addressing issues, minimizing downtime, and personalizing the user experience based on individual usage patterns.


Features like user-friendly interfaces, customizable settings, and instant troubleshooting can significantly enhance user satisfaction.



Balancing Relevance and Noise


While our software boasts a wealth of features designed to cater to the needs of all stakeholders, we understand the importance of avoiding unnecessary noise.


That's why we've built our software to be customizable, enabling users to choose which features they want to see and use, thereby keeping their interfaces clutter-free and relevant to their specific roles.




In conclusion, automation and intelligent software are not just luxuries but necessities in the modern, competitive landscape of managed print services. By catering to the unique needs of each role involved in printer management, our software can ensure relevance, boost productivity, and help businesses maintain a competitive edge in this ever-evolving industry.
