Amazon recently introduced a new service called Amazon Dash Replenish. Its aim is to re-stock supplies for your smart, connected devices automatically. So if your printer is getting low on ink, Amazon will ship more to you without you having to go through the whole ordering process.

It’s a helpful feature for small businesses that don’t have the resources to dedicate a staff member to constantly monitor and restock supplies. But Dash Replenish is not the first service to accomplish this task. Here are other services that will help you easily restock your office supplies.

HP Instant Ink

With an eligible HP printer and HP Instant Ink, you can connect your device to the Internet and set it to automatically order new cartridges when your supply is dwindling.

Xerox Metered Supplies

Xerox also offers a service that lets you connect your printer to its online ordering portal. Xerox Metered Supplies allows users to sign up to receive automatic refills of ink, keep tabs on your meter readings and more.

Office Depot Subscriptions

When shopping for office supplies on the Office Depot website, you can select certain items to be shipped to you on a regular basis, rather than as just a one time purchase. This allows you to receive regular shipments of the items you use most often, without you having to actually order them over and over again.

Shoplet Schedule and Save

Shoplet’s Schedule and Save program allows customers to order office supplies that they use regularly on a recurring basis. For example, if you know you go through a certain amount of paper or ink every week, you can set your account to automatically order that amount each week. You can set weekly, monthly or custom intervals for a huge variety of office supplies.

With this program, Staples connects you with a company representative to help manage your office supply needs and ensure that you’re constantly stocked with the essentials.

The iOffice Inventory Tracking Software allows you to track levels of various office supplies, receive alerts when certain items are running low, and track shipments of new orders all in real time.
