Claim:
1. A system for analyzing, optimizing and managing a plurality of document output devices that are operatively connected to data collection systems over a communications network, comprising: a communications interface for receiving device-specific data for the document output devices from the data collection systems through the communications network, wherein said device-specific data is comprised of a plurality of formats according to the respective data collection systems from which said device-specific data is received; a computer processor in operative communication with said communications interface, wherein said computer processor comprises a reconciling module to transform said plurality of formats for said device-specific data into a standardized device-specific dataset, said computer processor further comprising at least one module selected from the group consisting of a service evaluation module, a supply replenishment module, a routing label module, a service monitoring module, a service ticketing module, and any combination thereof; a database in operative communication with said computer processor, wherein said database comprises a logical correlation between a plurality of user accounts and corresponding sets of the document output devices and a memory storage containing said standardized device-specific dataset according to said logical correlation; a replenishment supply part used in one of the document output devices; and a portable printer in networked communication with said computer processor and said database through said communications interface, wherein said computer processor queries said database, determines an in-service replenishment supply part is at a replacement level, and automatically communicates a print job to said portable printer through said communications interface for said replenishment supply part, wherein said print job instructs said portable printer to print a supply routing label having a unique device location identifier for one of the document output devices, and wherein said supply routing label is affixed to said replenishment supply part.
