Ricoh continues to differentiate itself and has yet again proven to be an outstanding partner
Vendor-agnostic for both production printers and software, RICOH Supervisor provides operational data visualisation to help print organisations assess equipment utilisation and performance, eliminate manual data collection, and understand throughput to plan for peak capacity and business growth. Offered exclusively through a Software as-a-Service (SaaS) model, RICOH Supervisor levers Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to equip users with the organisation-wide data visibility needed to drive strategic decisions and investments, eliminating the need for large, upfront IT investments and long-term contracts.
Connecting RICOH ProcessDirector and RICOH Supervisor empowers clients to use historical data to generate trend reports for capacity planning, production optimisation, and operator productivity. In addition, users can identify opportunities, detect preventative actions, offer increased visibility to piece-level, and delivery metrics to better understand costs.
An early adopter of this integration was an American full-service direct mail organisation that offers print production, data management, and creative services. Its spokesperson comments: “Ricoh continues to differentiate itself and has yet again proven to be an outstanding partner. The combination of RICOH ProcessDirector and RICOH Supervisor is exactly what we needed to manage our business more successfully because it provides a dashboard with more job processing data then our printers could.”
Eef de Ridder, Vice President, Ricoh Graphic Communications, Ricoh Europe, comments: “To compete in today’s evolving production print marketplace, users need constant access to critical operational data and actionable reporting to improve operations; it’s not a nice to have, it’s a critical success factor. Harnessing the power of RICOH Supervisor to apply business intelligence to data collected by RICOH ProcessDirector equips clients with the historical and up-to-the-minute operational data they need to make informed, data-driven investment decisions that move their business forward.”
