Fleet Management Tools & Benefits

You may have heard or have even seen free fleet management tools like HP’s Webjet Admin or Xerox’s Centreware Web. But what’s it for? Most companies who have the software already installed do not get the full potential out of the fleet management software for their business. Below are some areas that your business can find benefit from fleet managment software:

Remote Manage And Save Time

We are all used to remote management of our PC’s so why not our printers? You can easily and quickly see the front panel status of a printer in another building  or even town to help with supports. Or with a click of your mouse you can update all your devices at once such as a Gateway address, think how long that would take on 20 devices!

Get Proactive

How many times have you been caught short of toner or an OPC drum that you didn’t know you had to order? Let the MFD tell tell you when it’s  jammed or get pre-warned that the device is low on toner giving you enough time order a replacement. This is all done through email and can even be integrated in to helpdesk systems automatically.

Help Utilise Your Fleet though Reporting

Which device is being over used? What device is being under used? Which device is unreliable and why is it unreliable? Having factual data will give you a true picture of your fleet to help make informed decisions that can help reduce costs or keep your fleet optimised to help support your business.
