Powered by the OKI Printing Solutions brand, Carolina Wholesale, one of the largest office machines and supply distributors in the U.S., will exhibit OKI Printing Solutions’ BTA exclusive line of CX products, in addition to other print solutions to help customers manage their devices and streamline business processes.

“As a trusted partner of OKI Printing Solutions’ for 20 years, Carolina Wholesale serves the specialized needs of BTA dealers throughout the U.S., providing them with such benefits as: competitive pricing, warehousing and inventory storage, faster delivery times, free hotline support, and service and warranty support, to name a few,” said Jackie Paralis, OKI Printing Solutions’ Senior Marketing Manager for Channel Development
Brent Martin, Marketing Director for Carolina Wholesale, adds, “It’s important for us to find innovative ways to go to market in this economy and the print and MFP offerings OKI Printing Solutions brings forth allow us to expand and assist the dealer community in maintaining their competitive edge in a commoditized market.”
The “Solutions for Success” exhibit will offer personal demonstrations including:
Desktop Capture Solution: Standard across all OKI Printing Solutions MFP platforms, this turnkey solution provides an automated process to convert paper documents into preferred electronic formats; automatically launches metadata entry at time of document upload; and provides drag and drop interface with existing document management software such as Microsoft® SharePoint® Server, DocuWare® and QuickBooks
Digital Pen Solution: In collaboration with the Anoto Group, Digital Pen combines Anoto's penDocuments Pro software with OKI Printing Solutions color printers and MFPs, creating the ultimate solution for digital data and signature capture. The Digital Pen uses an infrared camera to record writing motion while monitoring its position on specially formatted documents, so users can combine handwritten input with electronic copies of business forms and digitize electronic signatures captured during field sales and service calls.
Total Managed Print™: OKI Printing Solutions’ Total Managed Print™ TMP offering is a flexible modular platform that can be leveraged to create and support an entire MPS business model or be utilized as a standalone offering. For the reseller, this means access to a full suite of customizable service offerings that can be used by any size business to develop or enhance an MPS business model.
As part of their ongoing commitment to BTA dealer education, Carolina Wholesale and OKI Printing Solutions will soon take to the road together to educate dealers on how to effectively and efficiently enhance their business offerings to help them better compete in today’s marketplace.
