15 PRINTITRESELLER.UK Bundling scanners with capture software and managed services creates new revenue streams and strengthens customer relationships, as well as adding more to your bottom line. Customer Advantages For organisations, dedicated scanners are more than devices – they’re productivity tools. Employees can complete scanning tasks faster and more accurately, IT teams benefit from reduced downtime, and compliance officers gain audit-ready, high-quality images. In short, using the right tool for volume scanning improves efficiency, accuracy, and user satisfaction across the board. Conclusion: The Future Is Dedicated Encouraging customers to rely solely on MFPs for heavy scanning may seem convenient, but it leads to greater wear, more service calls, and lower margins. Dedicated scanners offer a better path – for both customers and resellers. By helping clients select the right Kodak Alaris scanner, resellers can deliver productivity gains, reduce total cost of ownership, unlock new service and software revenue opportunities and position themselves as trusted partners in digital transformation. Faster Throughput Many dedicated scanners process 30–210 pages per minute with automatic duplex and multi-feed detection. Direct integration with software such as KODAK Capture Pro or KODAK Info Input Solution ensures scanned data flows seamlessly into systems, saving time and reducing errors. Lower Service Burden for Resellers Dedicated scanners are more durable and reliable, resulting in fewer engineer callouts and predictable service contracts. Resellers can focus on proactive solutions and workflow consulting rather than reactive repairs. New Revenue Opportunities As print volumes decline, offering dedicated scan helps resellers diversify. Moreover, when items are scanned to email they’re typically split across multiple sends to accommodate for large file sizes, meaning inboxes are swamped. Limited Billing Opportunities Scanning on MFPs is usually treated as “free,” with no easy way to track or charge for usage. Resellers risk lost revenue opportunities as print volumes decline. Dedicated scanning solutions open the door for new billing and service models. Why Dedicated Scan Should Be in Your Roadmap Dedicated scanners offer more than hardware reliability – they improve outcomes and create new value for both customers and resellers. Built for High Volumes Purpose-built scanners handle thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of pages daily. Robust rollers, sensors, and self-cleaning mechanisms reduce maintenance needs, lower total cost of ownership, and improve uptime. Superior Image Quality Scanners from Kodak Alaris, use advanced image processing like Perfect Page to enhance clarity, colour, and contrast automatically. OCR, data extraction, and archival workflows are far more accurate than with MFPs. In addition to this, these optimised images are up to 30% smaller in file size than MFP scanned images, meaning that less storage is needed for more images.
