ThinPrint, a provider of print management services and cloud printing offerings, has launched the Printer Dashboard cloud service, a free, web-based printer monitoring offering that provides a comprehensive, real-time view of the complete printer environment.
The new printer cloud service determines the status of each printer, its consumables and enables users to avoid costly outages and resolve print problems immediately.
Printer Dashboard delivers printer information that enables users to make sound business decisions and take necessary action to reduce IT costs related to printing, which is still one of the most expensive IT services within any organisation.
Users registering through ThinPrint’s website can install the Printer Dashboard ‘agent’, which provides an overview of consumables, reports critical toner levels and paper jam alerts for each printer.
The new service enables integrated accounting that allows users know the paper, toner and ink consumption of each printer, as well as the costs incurred. It also allows toner and paper to be ordered directly at the click of a mouse.
ThinPrint COO and CIO Charlotte Künzell said Printer Dashboard is an absolute must for all those dealing with the topic of printer management, such as specialist printer retailers wanting to quickly gain an overview of their customers’ situation.
"With this free service, users avoid printer downtime, calculate usage and costs of individual models and can thus take measures to significantly reduce overall costs. And all for free on our website."
