Managing print consumables has long been one of the most operationally burdensome and financially underutilized areas for office product dealers. With thousands of SKUs, yield variations, and brand options—not to mention over 15,000 print devices in the field—mapping printer models to the correct consumables is complex, time-intensive, and prone to errors.
The Digitol platform, in conjunction with its Data Capture Agent (DCA) integration and DigitolPROFIT™ Program, addresses this challenge with automation designed to both simplify and monetize.
As soon as the DCA detects a new device, Digitol automatically maps that specific printer to only the relevant consumables in the dealer’s active catalog. This mapping is dynamic and client-specific: when catalog content changes—additions or removals—the associations are updated in real time. The result? When a supply trigger is detected, only valid options are displayed: no irrelevant listings, no search effort, and no noise.
From there, the dealer simply selects:
OEM, Reman, or New-Build cartridge
The yield best suited to the customer’s usage
MICR requirement, if needed
This effectively solves one of the biggest blockers to monetizing off-contract devices—ensuring that every detected printer can be accurately and immediately fulfilled, with zero manual effort.
Layered on top is the DigitolPROFIT™ Program, which unlocks further value:
Dealers can source lower-cost aftermarket cartridges (e.g., direct from Reliance Group USA) and use Digitol’s pricing automation to position these under OEM benchmarks.
Dealers set rules (e.g., Reman = 70% of OEM price), and Digitol applies those rules automatically—protecting margin while presenting attractive pricing to the customer.
Triggered demand from the DCA generates auto-branded emails with purchase links, allowing the customer to order with a click.
This creates a low-touch, high-return revenue channel—turning passive device detection into proactive, profitable transactions. No spreadsheets. No missed opportunities.
