Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd has launched its new online store - an e‑commerce platform designed to give micro and small businesses fast, self‑service access to their print solutions. The new store, available at www.konicaminolta.co.uk/shop, marks a major step in Konica Minolta’s global strategy to offer greater support to smaller businesses through flexible, predictable, and cost‑effective managed print services.
At the heart of the new online store is Konica Minolta’s OneRate offering, a simple monthly subscription model that delivers essential printing and scanning for a fixed fee. Everything is included in one predictable monthly payment - delivery, installation, servicing, toner, spare parts and ongoing support. Customers simply choose their preferred device and contract length (36 or 60 months), add paper, and start printing. OneRate mirrors the considerable benefits of leasing a car: one fixed monthly fee, no upfront capital expenditure, and no unexpected maintenance costs.
The launch of the new store marks the first step in Konica Minolta’s enhanced digital sales approach. It also includes refurbished print devices through its bizhub Refreshed programme, offering devices with natural resource and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission savings compared with the production of new devices.
The bizhub Refreshed scheme takes pre‑owned Konica Minolta devices and restores them to a high-quality, fully certified standard. Each device undergoes a comprehensive inspection, replacement of key components, firmware updates and rigorous testing before being reintroduced to the market. This extends product lifecycles, reduces waste and offers SMEs a more environmentally responsible way to access reliable print technology at a lower cost.
The new online store is designed specifically for UK SMEs, start‑ups and entrepreneurs who need dependable print performance without the complexity or financial burden of traditional hardware purchasing. By offering a fully digital, self‑service route to print-as-a-service, Konica Minolta is opening up a new, more accessible way for smaller businesses to adopt high‑quality print solutions.
