imageCLASS Printonomics to help partner resellers to generate revenue and save printing costs for customers.
Daily Finance reports on the launch of Canon’s new MPS programme for resellers enrolled in its imageCLASS Premier Partner programme, which is expected to save customers up to 30 percent on printing costs.
The programme has been co-developed with PrintFleet, and will allow eligible resellers to access device monitoring services and other tools to get started such as complementary device licenses and access to sales and technical support from both companies.
Print device data will be available to access through a 24-hour portal, allowing resellers to proactively manage their customers’ fleets and perform service and meter billing. They will also be able to identify opportunities for replacing devices by accessing standard and customisable reports and consulting with the imageCLASS solutions marketing team for pre-sales support. Furthermore, resellers will have access to MPS-level discounts from distributors offering imageCLASS laser printers and MFPs, consumables, accessories and extended warranties.
Sam Yoshida, Vice President and General Manager of Marketing for Business Imaging Solutions Group at Canon USA, said: “Today’s businesses rely on their print and imaging resellers to quickly assess their existing environments and make recommendations on how to save time and money. Our Premier Partner resellers are some of the best resellers in this industry and we are investing in new services to give them innovative ways to grow their business and help reduce operating costs for their customers.”
PrintFleet President and CEO, Chris McFarlane, added: “The imageCLASS Printonomics program has been co-developed by Canon U.S.A. and PrintFleet to provide resellers a unique, easy entry to Managed Print Services. Canon U.S.A. recognizes that high-quality device data is required for a services reseller to compete effectively and create exceptional value for their customers. We look forward to working with Canon U.S.A.’s Premier Partner resellers to expand their business opportunities with the imageCLASS Printonomics program.”
Voicing the reseller’s perspective, Joseph Sands, President of Sands Office Equipment, said: “The imageCLASS Printonomics program is a game-changer for how I now run my business. Thanks to Canon, I now have unprecedented insight into the page volumes and uptime of my customers’ current mixed fleets, empowering me to propose new solutions that are optimized to their needs.”
