According to ECI’s 2021 State of SMB Digital Transformation Survey, the pandemic has not discouraged office technology professionals – in fact, the industry has its sights set on expansion. The survey shows that 63% of field service respondents expect to purchase technology to expand their offerings over the next five years. This shows that businesses are hungry for solutions that can help them take control of their budgets, optimize their workflows, maximize their employees and capture the power of data.

The features of each device’s interface will depend on manufacturer, but they can include log retrievals, firmware updates, and configuration settings.

- Alternate Print Devices – Alerts and reports can be generated from label, receipt and wristband printers manufactured by Zebra. Being able to action the data gathered from these devices empowers dealers to add more devices and customers to their MPS contracts.
