Smarter Inventory, Stronger Margins: How MPS Monitor & ecoprintQ are Transforming Consumables Management with Predictive Analytics
Traditional inventory practices are quickly diminishing as the managed print technology landscape continues to evolve. For enterprises, resellers, dealers, and distributors managing hundreds or thousands of print devices, the risks of overstocking, stockouts, or outdated consumables directly impact margins, cashflow, and customer experience.
That’s where MPS Monitor comes into play for our channel!
At ecoprintQ, we partner with industry leaders like MPS Monitor to solve this specific challenge with predictive analytics, transforming consumables management into a data-driven advantage!
But what sets ecoprintQ apart is much more than the software we offer. It’s the complete, partner-focused approach we bring as an Authorized Solution Center (ASC) for managed print services.
Why Traditional Stocking Methods Fall Short
For years, many print providers relied on simple models to estimate supply needs by reordering toner or consumables based on last year’s usage or the number of devices within a fleet.
Today, this approach fails to reflect real-world changes:
- Evolving customer print habits
- Shifts in device model makeup
- Unpredictable supply chain disruptions
As a result: aged inventory collects dust, rush orders destroy margins, and reactive stock decisions erode efficiency.
MPS Monitor's Predictive Analytics: A Game Changer
MPS Monitor uses the real-time data already flowing from your multi-function devices to power predictive analytics for smarter, leaner, and more reliable inventory management.
Here’s how it changes the print game:
- Real-Time Forecasting: Stock levels are calculated based on actual usage, model type, and up-to-the-minute device readings
- Just-in-Time Optimization: Know exactlywhen and how much stock to replenish, improving your just-in-time delivery model
- Smarter Sourcing: Identify potential supply constraints in advance, giving you time to source from alternative vendors.
- Cashflow Control: Reduce tied-up capital by holding only what’s needed, when it’s needed.
- Elimination of Aged Stock: Forecasting eliminates excess inventory that sits idle for months or years
A Real-World Example of MPS Monitor's Predictive Analytics
One MPS dealer managed a fleet of 6,500 devices while sitting on nearly $1 million in consumables: with much of it unused, outdated, or misallocated. Orders were picked by hand without visibility into true demand. The result: frequent stockouts, excessive delivery fees, and errors that hurt satisfaction and profitability.
After implementing MPS Monitor’s predictive analytics tools:
- Aged stock was eliminted
- Just-in-time delivery became consistent and reliable
- Stock was moved to a distribution partner who fulfilled same-day shipments based on system forecasts
- Operational costs dropped, warehouse space was freed up, and order accuracy drastically improved
This is the power of visibility and precision – watch the video to see how MPS Monitor streamlines consumables management!
