Reactive supply ordering
Employees order toner only after supplies run low, or keep extra cartridges on hand just in case. The result can be emergency orders, unnecessary inventory and staff time spent managing consumables.
Automated Monitoring & Supply Management
The fleet reports itself, so nobody has to.
Revolution Office uses automated monitoring to collect device, meter, supply and status information across the print environment, reducing manual administration while giving our team the data needed to manage supplies, identify issues and continuously improve the fleet.
Less to order. Less to track. Less for your staff to manage.
Automate the routine work behind the fleet.
What We Find
Routine print management is often more manual than it needs to be.
02
Reactive issue reporting
Some device problems aren’t identified until a user encounters them. Available device alerts and monitoring data can help identify certain conditions earlier and improve visibility into fleet status.
03
Unnecessary supply inventory
Supply closets accumulate cartridges for devices that have moved, changed or left the fleet. Better supply management can reduce the need to maintain unnecessary toner inventory onsite.
04
Limited fleet data
Without consistent meter, utilization and device-status information, the environment is difficult to manage proactively. Ongoing monitoring creates better information for service, supply, lifecycle and optimization decisions.
The Fleet Reports Itself
Better data makes proactive management possible.
Compatible devices can provide ongoing information about meters, supply levels, utilization and device status. Revolution Office uses that information to automate routine tasks, improve fleet visibility and identify conditions that may require attention.
Reported by compatible devices
- Meter data
Automate meter collection where supported, reducing manual reporting and improving the data available for billing and fleet analysis.
- Supply levels
Monitor toner consumption and trigger replenishment based on actual device needs and configured thresholds.
- Device status
Monitor available device alerts and error conditions so issues can be identified and acted on more proactively where supported.
- Utilization data
Track how devices are being used over time to support lifecycle, placement and optimization decisions.
Monitoring platform
Revolution Office
Fleet data is collected centrally and acted on by the team managing your environment.
What the data supports
- Toner replenishment
- Meter-based billing
- Earlier issue identification
- Utilization reporting
- Lifecycle and placement decisions
- Quarterly business reviews
Certain device conditions can generate automated alerts or service workflows, depending on the device, monitoring platform and configuration.
What You Get
Less fleet administration. Better fleet intelligence.
Supply management should change with the fleet. As devices are added, replaced, relocated or retired, Revolution Office manages supply requirements around the current environment rather than leaving customers to maintain inventories for equipment they may no longer operate.
Reduce emergency supply purchases and unnecessary onsite inventory.
Automated supply management
Use actual device consumption and supply-level information to support timely replenishment and reduce manual toner ordering.
Proactive device visibility
Use available alerts and device-status information to identify conditions that may require attention.
Automated meter collection
Collect meter information electronically where supported instead of relying on employees to manually report readings.
Fleet utilization data
Build an ongoing picture of device activity to support placement, lifecycle and optimization decisions.
Centralized management
Give Revolution Office the information needed to manage more of the day-to-day fleet so your staff doesn’t have to.
From Monitoring to Management
The data matters because someone acts on it.
Monitoring by itself is just information. As part of Revolution Office Managed Print Services, fleet data becomes part of an ongoing management process used to support supplies, service, utilization, lifecycle planning and continuous optimization.

Common Questions
Automated monitoring and supply questions
How does automatic toner replenishment work?
Compatible devices report supply-level and meter information through the monitoring platform. Based on actual consumption and configured thresholds, replacement toner can be shipped for the device before supplies are exhausted, reducing the need for employees to manually monitor and order cartridges.
Do you monitor device problems?
Where supported, the monitoring platform can report device alerts and error conditions that help Revolution Office identify certain issues more proactively. The specific information available and the resulting service workflow depend on the device, monitoring platform and configuration.
Do we still need to keep toner inventory onsite?
The goal is to reduce unnecessary supply inventory by replenishing toner based on actual device requirements. Some organizations may choose to maintain limited backup supplies based on their operating requirements.
Are meter readings collected automatically?
For compatible monitored devices, meter information can be collected automatically, reducing manual reporting and providing more consistent data for billing and fleet analysis.
What happens to the monitoring data?
The data supports more than supply replenishment. Revolution Office can use meter, utilization, supply and device-status information to support ongoing fleet management, reporting, lifecycle planning and optimization as part of the Managed Print Services program.
What does the Managed Print Assessment cost?
Nothing. The Managed Print Assessment is provided at no cost and without obligation. You receive the analysis and recommendations whether or not you choose to move forward with Revolution Office.
