Automated Supplies & Support Model – Sales Overview

Written by Renee McNeese

What This Means for Your Customers

The Automated Supplies Process delivers a smarter, hands-off approach to managing device supplies—reducing effort, improving uptime, and creating a better overall customer experience.

Key Capabilities

  • Automatic Replenishment
    Devices connected to XSM automatically trigger supply orders—no manual intervention required.

  • Eliminates Missed or Excess Orders
    Prevents overstocking while ensuring customers never run out of supplies.

  • Reduces Expedited Shipments
    Improves delivery timing and accuracy, minimizing costly rush shipments.

  • Centralized Management via FMP
    Customers can view device activity, toner levels, and manage service requests through the Fleet Management Portal (FMP).


Value Proposition

For the Customer

  • No need to monitor toner levels or place manual orders

  • Full visibility into device and supply activity

  • Simplified, centralized experience through FMP

For the Business

  • Improved inventory accuracy

  • Reduced operational costs

  • Increased efficiency and predictability


When Automation Isn’t Available (Reactive Ordering)

For devices not connected to XSM, supplies can still be ordered through reactive channels.

Processing Expectations

  • Orders submitted via the XBS Supplies Portal or email

  • Processing time: 24–48 hours

  • Customers receive:

    • Order acknowledgment

Escalation Guidelines (Internal Use Only)

Escalations should only be used when:

  • Issues have been unresolved for 48+ hours

  • There is a high business impact

Escalation Contact

Valid Escalation Scenarios

  • System failures (ASR, EA, XSM issues)

  • Missing or stuck orders, no tracking, backorders

  • Orders pending beyond SLA

  • Approved emergency shipments

  • Contract, fulfillment, or credit dependencies

  • Devices down 7+ days or site outages

  • Bulk order delays or status concerns

Why This Matters

Clear escalation criteria:

  • Prevent unnecessary escalations

  • Improve accountability

  • Reduce resolution time

  • Ensure focus on high-impact issues
