Minolta gets accountants beaming

With more than R4-million worth of sales in six months, Minolta`s software support division, MiSix, is fast cornering the market on the Equitrac suite of products, which save companies money by recovering costs and managing expenses associated with prints, copies, faxes, scans and even telephones.

Equitrac is every accountant`s dream. Using a mantra of maximising office efficiency, its cost recovery system allows firms to electronically track and bill for the time and costs associated with providing equipment-related services. The result is lower overheads, reduced waste and misuse and a healthier bottom line.

Minolta MiSix product manager, Jody Harrington, says Equitrac sales are high because increasingly more customers want to maximise office equipment efficiency, contain costs and increase profits. "They want more control over their output expenditure and their employees to become accountable for every print, copy, fax and scan they produce," he said.

MiSix has already installed more than 175 Equitrac PageCounter Devices at companies in the insurance industry, 120 PageCounter devices in the motor industry, 150 in the professional services industry, 100 in the legal and engineering industry and an average of 50 PageCounter devices organisations in each of the pharmaceutical, banking, medical and communications industries.

MiSix clearly knows a good thing when its sees one. The company designs, installs and supports Equitrac for its customers, and to ensure adequate support for a rapidly growing customer base, has trained 39 support consultants nationwide.

MiSix offers its customers Print Management, Control Terminals, Web-based Technology and Transaction Server solutions from the Equitrac product range.

The Print Management solutions enable users to monitor, manage and measure all network print activity, while Control Terminals allow for advanced cost recovery relating to client billing.
