You would have probably scoffed if someone told you a global pandemic would provide an opportunity to win a larger share of the copier distribution market. COVID has thrown some huge curveballs at small businesses. Social distancing and stay-at-home orders to contain the virus have hit many of us hard. But, for some businesses, the pandemic has brought silver linings in the form of opportunity.

If you’re a smaller photocopier distributor you will have noticed that many of the big players in the industry have been displaced due to COVID. So there’s a chance for small localised companies to expand their geographical coverage while the bigger companies are still unsettled. Most smaller copier businesses only serve their local area. It’s typically tough for these businesses to develop outside of their local area due to the cost of infrastructure and servicing. 

So, how can smaller companies widen their net?

Barriers to Outsourcing

Outsourcing could be a solution, but companies tend to use zonal pricing structures based on delivery radius and time taken. So the further away a customer is, the more expensive installation and servicing is. Once you start entertaining multisite offerings, it can get prohibitive as you will likely end up dealing with fluctuating prices depending on the geographical area.

Getting An In-House Team

There is one way around the issue of servicing multisite photocopier contracts. You could purchase your own van and a delivery team, but that’s only if you’ve got access to around £100k to get you started. Bear in mind you’ll need to buy stair walking equipment and train staff on how to operate them safely. You are legally obliged to ensure your team is fully trained in manual handling procedures. We’re sure you are aware, but you really don’t want to risk a lawsuit for employer negligence.

An Affordable Partnership

We offer a solution that doesn’t require huge set-up costs or arbitrary delivery rates. We can help small copier delivery and installation companies to seize the opportunity to level-up their business in this critical time.

Look at the blue areas on the map. We work on a flat fee for preparation, delivery, relocation, connectivity, and servicing of equipment in our standard coverage area.

We can service multi-site contracts in the blue area on the map above for a flat rate. So your costs will be more predictable and reasonable as you know you’ll be paying the same amount, regardless of location.
