I lost to a 5775 from a Global dealer due to the built-in tracking for user codes that from what the prospect told me, is very powerful. I was offering an Equitrac solution but it was about $2800 for that. I am not sure if the prospect was telling me the whole truth however. They said it would do everything Equitrac could and that is was actually made by them but called something else. And it was no charge. It was a Real Estate firm and they wanted to automatically bill each realtor in teh office based on whatever they wanted to charge per click for color and black. Has anyone else run into this?
You can do this with Ricoh Smart Accounting. For up to 5 MFP's (and as long as there is no more than 500 users), it is $999 at MSRP. At that price, it is very easy to include as a "Free" solution. For a larger fleet, there are various pricing tiers. It allows you to create custom cost structures for each agent and track/bill back for Copy, Print, Scan, Fax in addition to larger paper sizes. It runs in Microsoft Access and ties into the standard User Codes. Brochure attached.
