Konica Minolta launches next day national delivery to accelerate partner growth

The introduction of real-time stock visibility (held at Westcoast’s state-of-the-art distribution centre in Hampshire) and ERP system integration means partners can better manage their customer expectations, delivery operations and cashflow.   

The enhanced partner service was successfully piloted earlier this year and is now being expanded nationally in phases. It is one of many partner initiatives the company has introduced in recent months. These include the appointment of a new Sales Director (James Pittick) with a remit to use his extensive experience of partner ecosystems to develop new and innovative programme enhancements. 2026 will also see scaling up of lead generation efforts for and with authorised channel partners. This includes supporting partners to host customer engagements, events and demonstrations of digital workplace and professional print solutions at Konica Minolta’s Client Engagement Centre (CEC) in Dunstable.

Last month it was reported that Konica Minolta has been independently verified as the number one for colour A3 MFPs in Europe. James adds: “Our partners were a major part of this. They work with us because of the reputation and reliability of our devices, the quality of our consumables, the competitive pricing we offer and our unwavering commitment to service excellence.” He concludes: “I am proud of the work we are doing to continually evolve and improve how we work with and support our trusted partners.”
