Managing a fleet of printers can quickly become overwhelming. Rising costs, scattered usage data, and supply issues often drain time and resources. With the right solution, you can bring control back, reduce waste, and give your team more time to focus on what matters.
Why Printer Management Matters
Printers are essential, but without structure they create hidden costs. Paper waste, premature toner swaps, and downtime add up faster than most businesses realize. A smart printer management platform changes that by giving you visibility and control.
With 3manager, you can:
✔️ Monitor usage across all devices
✔️ Automate supply orders at the right time
✔️ Track costs and volumes in real time
✔️ Reduce waste and environmental impact
✔️ Provide clear reporting for every stakeholder
The result is less guesswork, fewer surprises, and a healthier bottom line.
How Printer Management Simplifies Your Workflow
Instead of juggling each device, 3manager centralises everything in one dashboard. You see the status of your fleet instantly, track volumes and costs, and anticipate issues before they become expensive problems.
Key features include:
✔️ Centralised fleet monitoring
✔️ Automated supply alerts and ordering
✔️ Cost and trend tracking to spot increases early
✔️ Role-specific reporting for business, service, and CSR teams
✔️ Easy integration with existing systems
By automating the routine, you free up time for value-creating work.
Smarter Decisions Backed by Data
One of the strongest benefits of 3manager is turning raw data into business insights. Whether you need to:

…the answers are ready in seconds. Instead of crunching numbers, you start meetings with conclusions.
Connect with the Tools You Already Use
Printer management should not add another silo. That’s why 3manager integrates seamlessly with your existing ecosystem. Whether it’s help desk platforms, ERP systems, or distributor order flows, data moves automatically to where it creates the most value.
✔️ API, webhooks, FTP, and email support
✔️ Supplies orders sent directly to distributors
✔️ Meter reads and alerts pushed into service systems
✔️ Custom formats for partner platforms like Evatic, Santi, Jim2, BMS, and more
Integrations reduce manual work, cut errors, and give your team a clearer view across systems.
From Supplies to Sustainability
3manager goes beyond toner levels. Dealers can manage track-and-trace, share order status with customers via QR codes, and avoid unnecessary replacements. At the same time, businesses can link their print activity to sustainability goals with solutions like PrintReleaf.
It’s one platform that supports sales, service, finance, and CSR without extra complexity.
