provides to dealers to help maximize efficiency and reduce labor costs.

meter read or a phone call to the customer to read the meters.

technician can monitor the page counter and service part counter data to
anticipate when a part requires replacement and have the part available
during the next scheduled service visit.
Investigate machine issues before visiting the customer site. Service alerts

customer with the necessary information and parts to reduce revisits due
to the unavailability of service parts.
