Managed Print ServicesPrinter Monitoring & Managed Print Software

Meter readings in, toner out, invoices raised — the whole MPS contract, automated.

Managed print is a billing problem wearing a hardware costume. Plenix discovers printers on client networks, collects page counts, bills against the contract’s click rates, and triggers a toner order before anyone phones you about it.

  • ✓Chargeback billing for lost or damaged cartridges
