All Covered and Oberon Americas partner to integrate Forza ERP and Oberon Americas Fleet Management Platform powered by MPS Monitor

It is with great pleasure to announce that OBERON AMERICAS have partnered with Forza/All Covered to bring Real-time sync between our Fleet Management Platform powered by MPS Monitor and your ERP system powered by Forza.

Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. Inc., along with its IT services division, All Covered, has announced a new technology partnership formed by FORZA, the company's ERP solution, and Oberon Americas' print fleet management solution, MPS Monitor.

FORZA builds and integrates into the SAP Business One platform to provide support for service, sales and contract management, allowing for more proactive management of customer interaction for maximum business gain and efficiencies. In order to provide its ERP customers with the reliable printer data they need, FORZA now integrates MPS Monitor's meter monitoring services into its solutions to offer tracking, reporting and billing support. MPS Monitor provides a cloud solution for remote printer monitoring and print fleet management, fully compliant with ISO/IEC 27001, SOC2 and GDPR, for monitoring and managing printing devices in managed print services or pay-per-page mode.

With remote and hybrid work models likely here to stay, now more than ever, companies are looking for one tool to proactively monitor their printer and MFP fleets efficiently. Software options have come a long way in their ability to provide meter tracking, monitor consumables and enable billing. The adoption of such programs by businesses of all sizes can serve to support digital transformation and help drive revenue.

"As we work to streamline our customers' business processes, we need the ability to customize solutions to each company's data capture requirements, and partnerships like this make that possible," said Drew Cataldo, vice president of business development, All Covered. "This technology ensures seamless, automated management of entire fleets of printers and copiers, ultimately driving more revenue through better control over billing."

An all-inclusive ERP offering, FORZA streamlines all business processes onto one platform, providing companies with a comprehensive ERP system to manage current infrastructure and business processes while enabling growth from increasing sales to delivering products for its customers.

"Oberon Americas brings together in one award-winning platform the power of IoT, artificial intelligence, MFD-embedded development and cloud computing powered by MPS Monitor, focusing on the internet of printers (IoP)," said Denis Dreni, CEO, Oberon Americas. "Helping our customers take control of all their print services revenue and remote remediation costs is our core mission. Oberon Americas' next-generation platform is the only secure cloud multibrand platform for both network- and USB-connected print devices. We are excited to partner with FORZA in helping its vast network of dealers build the IoP, one printer at a time — any printer, any platform, any place — while adding to our 2,200 existing dealers."

"For more than 10 years, MPS Monitor has been the ideal solution for dealers who wish to manage their business processes in the best way possible," said Nicola De Blasi, CEO, MPS Monitor Srl. "The partnership between Oberon Americas and FORZA will help even more dealers reach the IoP concept, by streamlining their processes and getting the best out of MPS Monitor functionalities."
