Key Features

RoutXpress provides a complete print assessment and anlysis showing print activity by users, printers and departments.


Jobs are routed to another printer, based on rules, when:

- More cost effective
- Page limit exceeded
- Printer is down
- Job can finish faster

RoutXpress tracks print costs by account or by user.

You may set cost or page limits per day or per month to prevent users exceeding their print budgets.

RoutXpress monitors the progress of jobs and health of printers. It sends alert messages when things go wrong.

RoutXpress Cost Effectiveness

The cost-effectiveness case for RoutXpress is presented in two tables. The first table, RoutXpress Cost Effectiveness Analysis, demonstrates substantial savings gained by:

1. Reduction of volume of both black/white and color prints because of cost-consiousness and print management

2. Re-directing of both black/white print and color print jobs from local printers to networked printers and MFP’s because of assessment, optimization, and deployment

3. Reduction of volume and cost of both black/white and local prints because of re-routing of print jobs to more cost-effective printers and improved cost consciousness

Table 1: RoutXpress Cost Effectiveness Analysis

Current System Current Cost
Black/white networked $70,000.00
    700 devices @ .01/page x 10,000 pgs/mo
Color networked devices 168,000.00
    300 devices @ .08/page x 7000 pgs/mo
Black/white local printers 250,000.00
    500 devices @.20/page x 2500/pgs/mo
Color local printers 168,750.00
    250 devices @ .45/page x 1500 pages/mo
Current Total Print Costs 656,750.00
After RoutXpress New Cost
Black/white networked 52,500.00
    700 devices @ .01/page x 7500 pgs/mo
Color networked devices 84,000.00
Black/white re-routed to networked 8,000.00
    400 devices @ .01/page x 2000 pgs/mo

    100 devices @.20/page x 500/pgs/mo
Color local printers 5,625.00
    50 devices @ .45/page x 250 pages/mo
After RoutXpress Print Costs 172,125.00
COST SAVINGS WITH ROUTXPRESS $484,625.00

As you can see from Table 1, the savings from RoutXpress and implementation of managed print is $484,625.00/month. Different scenarios can be depicted using the actual numbers of devices and print volumes within a specific organization. The significant cost-reduction is achieved by re-directing print to more cost-effective networked printers and away from more costly local printers.

Table 1 Assumptions:
Black/white/networked reduced from 10,000 to 9500 prints
Color/networked reduced from 7000 to 4250 prints
400 black/white local printers are re-routed to networked
200 color local printers are re-routed to networked
Reduced volume on black/white local printers to 500 pg/month
Reduced volume on color local printers to 250 pg/month


The same analysis is shown in Table 2 which includes specific data on the number of devices, the cost/page, the pages/month and the overall costs (Current vs. After-RoutXpress).
