Photizo Group agreed to develop an automated Just-in-Time (JiT) toner delivery solution with PrintFleet, a leading provider of managed print software (MPS) and data-driven solutions for the imaging industry.
Combining PrintFleet’s supply chain automation technology with Photizo Group’s predictive engine, utilizing advanced predictive data analytics, the JiT Toner solution will reduce wasted toner and shipping costs for imaging service providers. In reducing the amount of waste residual toner typically found in return cartridges, and associated costs related to inefficient toner cartridge replacement, providers can improve their bottom line, and increase their ability to improve customer satisfaction.
The collaboration, powered by IBM’s Predictive Maintenance and Quality (PMQ) technology, delivers industry-leading predictive analytic data analysis capabilities with proven expertise and quality. As the premier data analytics solution in the market, spanning multiple industry verticals and applications, including automotive, jet propulsion, and traditional manufacturing, IBM PMQ technology is seen as the best-fit solution to deliver impactful results in imaging. Photizo Group has embraced this leading predictive technology, with a unique ASL license, delivering industry-specific applications to imaging, including optimized toner delivery.
