ScanSource® POS and Barcode, the leading international value-added distributor of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) and point-of-sale (POS) solutions, services and sales unit of ScanSource, Inc., (NASDAQ: SCSC), has announced the launch of ScanSource As-A-Service Suite. This new, multi-faceted program is designed to create flexibility and enhance profitability for reseller customers by providing multiple service-oriented solution options. For the first time, resellers can now choose the solution that best suits their retail end-user partners’ business needs. “The shift to an IT as-a-service model presents resellers with both lucrative opportunities and frustrating obstacles – we developed ScanSource As-A-Service Suite to help our customers better meet this evolving way of doing business,” said Paul Constantine, president of ScanSource POS and Barcode, US/Canada. The program provides reseller customers with simple solutions to the complex challenges posed by the transition to as-a-service and managed services business models, in three key ways:
- FlexAbility – This finance tool streamlines customers’ services, software and hardware into one monthly invoice and allows resellers to decide how they structure sales.
- POS As-A-Service Bundle – By bundling best-of-breed products with maintenance and service contracts, ScanSource can provide resellers the ability to offer end-users reliable, predictable outcomes at a fixed monthly cost with no up-front capital commitments.
- Managed Retail Solutions – With this tool, resellers can own all of the IT solutions in the retail store – and manage it remotely from one comprehensive dashboard.
“The transition in retail to as-a-service and managed services models are hot topics for point-of-sale resellers today. End users are driving this shift and expect to work with one reseller for all of their IT needs, with the flexibility to pay for everything as they go,” said Constantine. “Our As-A-Service Suite will help resellers be more nimble and adaptive – to ultimately better serve their customers.” ScanSource As-A-Service Suite offers simple, tested retail solutions that resellers can trust as they look to transition their business model.
