WebAudit
The simple fact is that many of your clients will not let you install meter collection software on their network. With most meter collection solutions you are stuck capturing meters the old fashioned way. In reality, if you cannot provide remote meter collection to all of your clients, at best you are only going to have a moderately successful program.
WebAudit solves this problem by collecting meter readings initiated with an application link that you can email to your clients. The application opens in a web browser. It quickly searches for printers and returns meter readings. The client sees a chart of devices and meters that they can review before sending the meters to you.
Secure and Confidential
The clients network is not accessible through the Internet. WebAudit intelligently uses the client’s browser and Microsoft’s .NET Framework to automatically collect and submit encrypted data directly to you. Data stays secure and confidential.
Applications
There are two main applications for Web Audit
Application #1: Take Meter Readings Over the Web
WebAudit is the perfect solution for clients that do not want to install data collection software on their network. When it comes time for meter readings, simply email the WebAudit link to your client. The software finds their devices and collects meters. The client then reviews the meters before they send the data to you. This data is sent to your WebAudit Central Server and synchronized with your billing system.
Application #2: One Visit Print Assessments
WebAudit is a perfect complement to the managed print services sales process. Conducting a print assessment with a USB key requires two visits to a client: one visit for the initial meter readings and a second visit for the final readings. While the first meter reading is typically conducted on a sales call where the rep proposes an assessment, the second meter reading is often an inconvenience to the client. FMAudit enables one call assessments. Simply use the USB key to take the meters on the first visit. For the second meter reading, simply email the WebAudit link. You will get the information you need without having to meet the client. Now your second visit can be to show the TCO and close your sale.How It Works
- You send an email to the client letting them know it is time to collect meters
- The link automatically launches their web browser
- The end user simply follows the process: Start, Review and Save
- Meters are transmitted securely to your Central Server and billing system
