Go Beyond Print with SalesChain’s Purpose-Built Solutions

If one thing is clear over the last four years, it’s that the office technology space is undergoing a significant transformation. At SalesChain , we’ve seen dealers and solution providers expand beyond their traditional vertical markets to create net-new business and provide additional revenue streams. They are venturing into areas such as AV/Security, Water, Used Equipment, IT Products, Managed Print Services (MPS), and more. This expansion is not just a trend; it’s a necessity driven by the evolving demands of customers and the competitive nature of the industry. 

The Changing Landscape of the Office Technology Space

Clearly, the office technology sector is no longer confined to traditional print and copy services. As businesses strive to meet the diverse needs of their clients, they are branching out into new areas. AV and Security solutions are becoming critical as businesses seek to enhance their offerings and diversify revenue. More dealerships than ever are seeing office Water Systems as lucrative selling opportunities. The market for Used Equipment is expanding as businesses look for cost-effective and eco-friendly alternatives. Meanwhile, IT Products and Managed Print Services are becoming integral to the digital transformation strategies of modern enterprises. 

This diversification presents both opportunities and challenges. While entering new markets can open up significant revenue streams, it also requires businesses to manage more complex operations. This is where the importance of purpose-built solutions comes into play. 

The Role of Purpose-Built Software

Purpose-built software is designed to meet the specific needs of a particular industry or business function. Unlike generic software solutions, purpose-built software offers features and functionalities tailored to address the unique challenges and requirements of specific sectors. This specialization is crucial for businesses that are expanding into new areas and need to maintain a high level of efficiency and effectiveness. 

SalesChain’s Commitment to Purpose-Built Solutions

Security/AV Solutions: Our Security/AV features include capabilities for bundling Security and AV features that might have more complex pricing structures directly in a single deal with other product verticals. We have also built AV/Security-specific BI and Forecasting features to give managers a holistic view of the sales pipeline.
