PRINTIT AWARDS 27 PRINTITRESELLER.UK Software Product of the Year Sponsored by RISO Winner: Xerox Workflow Central Judges’ verdict: Judges applauded Xerox Workflow Central for its cloud-native architecture, smart automation, and enterprise-grade security, all of which address the real-world challenges of hybrid work. Its intuitive design, scalability and ability to streamline document workflows across devices and teams, in particular, stood out. The entry included testimonials that highlighted its broad functionality, positioning it as a versatile workflow and document conversion tool rather than a traditional document management system. “We’re proud and delighted that the PrintIT Awards judging panel has recognised Xerox Workflow Central as Software Product of the Year. Workflow Central is a powerful platform that simplifies complex document workflows while ensuring robust security at every step. This recognition is a testament to the real benefits it delivers for our clients and partners.” Andy Muskett, Director UK Channel Partners, Xerox GENERAL AWARDS PrintIT Award for Environmental Excellence Sponsored by FUTERA Winner: Lexmark Judges’ verdict: Lexmark stands out for its commitment to the circular economy, its devices are built to last and feature industry leading levels of PCR content, setting a benchmark for responsible manufacturing. Lexmark also achieves impressively high toner cartridge recycling rates through its Cartridge Collection Program. What really stood out to the judges, however, was the active involvement of employees across the business, who collectively volunteered over 600 hours on environmental projects last year. “Having won the PrintIT Award for Environmental Excellence, is something we’re incredibly proud of. It is testament to Lexmark’s commitment to sustainability and circularity in everything we do - from intentional design to make our devices last for 7+ years, to efficient use, to state-of-theart remanufacturing of hardware and cartridges, sustainability is deeply ingrained in our DNA.” Danny Molhoek, Vice President EMEA Sales, Lexmark PrintIT Award for Best Partner Programme Sponsored by ISL Winner: Info Technology Supply (iTS) Judges’ verdict: iTS impressed the judges with a partner programme built on collaboration, not simply reselling products. With structured support, strategic planning, and margin-boosting incentives, iTS empowers partners to grow, earn and adapt in a fast-changing market. A great example of value-driven partnership, making it the clear winner in this category. “Winning the PrintIT Award for Best Partner Programme is an extremely proud moment for all of us at iTS. It recognises the strong relationships we have built, and the trust placed in us by our partners.

Creating an environment where they feel supported and able to thrive has always been a priority. To see that effort recognised is rewarding and inspires us to keep strengthening the culture that makes Logixal what it is.” Mandeep Kandola, Managing Director, Logixal Winner: Commerce Business Systems Judges’ verdict: An outstanding entry that clearly evidenced creating an exceptional employee experience is at the heart of the company’s values. Judges noted that well-being is central to CBS’ people-first approach and that the company culture prioritises ensuring its people are heard and recognised, evidenced by some powerful employee testimonials and the fact that 35% of staff have been with them for more than a decade. “As a company, to ensure we are growing the business, year on year, and that we put our customers first, it’s really important that our employees are happy, feel valued and that we take their needs seriously, at home and at work. At CBS, we don’t just work as a team, we are a close-knit family, and we spend a lot of time together, and this award recognises the importance of creating the best experience for everyone, so they enjoy coming to work, are keen to develop their skills and want to stay with us.” John Green, Managing Director, Commerce Business Systems PrintIT Award for Innovation Sponsored by Canon Winner: Brother Judges’ verdict: With the launch of the print industry’s first inkjet cartridge remanufacturing line, Brother has set a new benchmark for sustainability in the sector. Judges noted Brother is the only vendor remanufacturing both ink and toner cartridges at scale and applauded its engineering-led innovation to restore cartridges to ‘as new’ condition without third-party involvement, and its robust returns infrastructure. This innovation reduces waste and carbon emissions and enables end-users and channel partners to contribute to the circular economy. “We’re delighted to see the inkjet cartridge cycling scheme at our sister company – Brother Industries UK – Ruabon, be recognised by the judges. Following significant investment, we’ve moved first in the industry and can offer significant CO2 savings through this remanufacturing innovation, contributing to the circular economy.” Phil Jones, Managing Director, Brother UK
