Downtime happens. When normal business operations are interrupted, you need to get things back online quickly. You know the circumstances and variables contributing to downtime and what it’s costing you. IM² PLUS can keep an eye on your devices, knowing when they go down, how long they’re down, and what the devices need to get back up and operating.

IM2 plus

Utilizing Imprint’s MDM software or your own (SOTI, 42Gears, etc.), upgrading to IM² PLUS includes the basic package and adds three more services, freeing up your time to complete other critical operations. Imprint can remotely manage everything from device setup, repair management, Golden Imaging, and returning devices to service.

On top of the standard IM² services, IM² PLUS also provides repair dispatching, reimaging, and returning devices to service.

Repair Dispatch

When a device goes down, it doesn’t have to impact your operations or create unnecessary downtime. Imprint can get the repair request managed and track it for you, sending the device in for repair and ensuring you get the proper documentation to keep on file.

Reimaging

When a repaired device is returned, Imprint will ensure it is workable with all the applications your business requires using the Golden Image that was created specifically for your enterprise.

Return to Service

Imprints specialists make sure your repaired device is returned to your facility and is ready to go straight into service, so you don’t have to worry about getting the device into service.

The original concept of IM² has been expanded to create more options that can be tailored to suit your specific needs. Choose from the standard IM² package, expand to IM² PLUS, or go worry-free with IM² MAX (discussed in subsequent chapters).

Imprint’s IM² standard solution can get you set up right out of the box, ensuring your devices are enrolled into an MDM that is based on the industry leading SOTI platform. Every device is provisioned, with a Golden Image created for future setups. With Imprint’s provisioning, you get the security you need with device patches, antivirus, and more.

Using Imprint’s MDM software, the IM² standard service is meant to remotely help you with setting up (commissioning) devices, quickly provisioning the devices, and monitoring said devices, so you don’t have to do it all manually.

Commissioning

Setting up new devices can be a burden, having to spend time getting the devices up and running. The Specialists at Imprint will ensure that your devices are ready to go for you, right out of the box.

Provisioning (Golden Image)

Not sure what you need on your devices for them to work for your specific business operations? Imprint’s team will do it for you, adding the programs you need to your devices for terminal workflow optimization, including a ‘Golden Image.’

A ‘Golden Image’ is a quick deployment tool that allows your company to reclaim wasted time configuring devises by automatically getting them up and running with a quick scan of a code that is developed just for you.

How IM2 Can Minimize Downtime in Your Enterprise https://imprint-e.com/how-im2-can-minimize-downtime-in-your-enterprise/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-im2-can-minimize-downtime-in-your-enterprise https://imprint-e.com/how-im2-can-minimize-downtime-in-your-enterprise/#respond Wed, 28 Feb 2024 14:40:33 +0000 https://imprint-e.com/?p=311623

What happens to your operations when your devices stop working properly? Do you have the time or resources (e.g., money, manpower, skills, etc.) to get your mobile devices back up and running quickly? When mobile devices are not properly managed, maintained, and monitored, it can negatively impact the operations within your enterprise, and potential affect your bottom line.

Imprint’s solution – Imprint Mobility Manager (IM²) – can take care of your devices and keep a close eye on device needs and activity, so you don’t have to. IM² can be tailored to suit your specific enterprise needs, with the option to choose from 3 levels of service.

Immediate Needs When Devices Go Down

Woman happy in warehouse with arms raised

When normal business operations are interrupted by a device (or several) going down, you may get notified by the staff member whose device isn’t functioning or by a notification in your MDM system (if you have one). Without a device management service, you have several immediate needs.

First and foremost, you need to get this device back up and running, fast. Which means you need to understand the reason for the downtime as quickly as possible to fix it. Then, when the issue is resolved and the device(s) is back up and running, you may want to understand the larger circumstances or variables of the downtime so that you can prevent it from happening in the future.

IM² can address all your needs, making our team members your team members, with specific time and attention allocated to managing and maintaining your devices for you.

Decreasing Downtime

Since you’ll have team members dedicated to your devices, Imprint can minimize downtime from happening and significantly reduce the length of time a device is down. With MDM software solutions at our disposal, we can have a proactive eye on your devices, knowing when they go down before you do.

When we are notified by our systems that one of your devices is offline or inoperable, we can identify what that device needs and resolve it immediately – maybe even before you know about it. Or if a device is at risk – the battery is low, an update is needed, a patch is required, the Wi-Fi signal has been lost – we’ll be notified and can address the problem before it results in downtime and halts operations.

Understanding Downtime

Managers on phone in warehouse

As your service provider/device manager, we can also help you understand downtime so that you address these occurrences and prevent future recurrences. We can run reports and identify information that may be useful – again, using one of our various applications that provide this visibility and oversight.

We can identify if there is a certain issue with a particular device or if there are certain devices that are more frequently creating issues than others and if so, why. We can look at dates and times for downtime and see if there are trends/patterns that offer information we can use to adjust a variable in the environment to prevent this from happening again. We can address updates and version control proactively, ensuring security measures, virus protection, etc.

The more information you have about why the downtime occurs, the more we can work together to address it, reduce it, or perhaps even prevent it from happening altogether.

    7 Ways Zebra Technologies Certified Supplies Pay for Themselves https://imprint-e.com/7-ways-zebra-technologies-certified-supplies-pay-for-themselves/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=7-ways-zebra-technologies-certified-supplies-pay-for-themselves https://imprint-e.com/7-ways-zebra-technologies-certified-supplies-pay-for-themselves/#respond Thu, 21 Dec 2023 21:58:29 +0000 https://imprint-e.com/?p=309386

    Barcode labeling can seem overly complicated and overwhelming. Sacrificing cost over quality can lead to poor label quality, damaged equipment, and costly fines. Barcodes are more than just ink on paper or buying a random printer and software package. Barcode labeling is a complete system that can help decrease costs, increase efficiency, and achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction.

    Warehouse ADC Integration with Zebra

    A proper barcode label helps you and your clients ensure compliance standards are met within industry standards while managing and tracking inventory from beginning to end.

    Zebra Technologies and Imprint Enterprises are here to help you understand the 7 ways Zebra Certified Supplies can help you achieve your business goals, no matter your industry.

    1 – Zebra Certified Supplies Stick to Surfaces

    choose a barcode scanner

    Not all labels are equal in quality. Zebra guarantees the staying power of their labels, so labels don’t slide or peel during handling. Need something that can be easily removed? Zebra has that option too.

    2 – Zebra Certified Supplies Averts Pricey Damage

    Zebra uses non-abrasive label material that won’t scratch the printhead of your label printers. Zebra tests their labels across a wide range of printers and print speeds to ensure the labels meet their quality standards.

    3 – Zebra Certified Supplies Lowers Expenses

    Zebra labels are designed to eliminate extra carrying costs, waste, and manual workarounds. You can order labels as you need them or set an automated restock before you run out.

    4 – Zebra Certified Supplies Won’t Jam

    Zebra supplies go through rigorous testing for consistent quality. The label rolls don’t squeeze out adhesive while printing, which can cause your printer to jam. This testing averts costly printing disruptions in your workplace.

    5 – Zebra Certified Supplies Remain Legible

    The core function of a barcode label is to provide information on what a product is and where it goes. Zebra labels won’t fade, and the barcodes won’t rub off.

    6 – Zebra Certified Supplies Work in Tough Environments

    Zebra labels are tested in the harshest conditions, using specialized equipment to rate durability to outdoor elements, abrasion, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperatures. These labels can handle heat, cold, dust, and dampness.

    7 – Zebra Certified Supplies Prevents Interruptions

    Consistent materials mean not having to stop and adjust your printer settings for different label sensitivity. Productivity can increase with up to 40 hours per week saved in worker time, and printing time can be reduced by up to 15%.

    The Quality You Want from the Experts You Need

    Zebra Technologies is an expert in the barcoding technology field with their rigorous testing of their own products and is one of the largest converters of barcode labels in the USA. Customers who have switched from overengineered and underperforming labels to Zebra Certified Supplies have seen up to $800,000 in savings per year with 68% greater printing output.

    A Premiere Solution Partner with Zebra, Imprint Enterprises has the specialists to help you determine what your business needs to step forward, while considering future possibilities. At Imprint, it is about the relationship, not the sale.

    Whichever barcode design your company needs, it’s always best to consult with an expert that can help answer any questions you have on the use of the different barcode labels.

    Download the Media & Supplies Catalog and Contact Imprint Enterprises today to discuss Zebra’s barcode labeling solutions that are best for you.
