Epson is extending its reseller numbers to deliver its pay-as-you-go ink replenishment service.
The first partnership agreement for its ReadyInk programme that provides customers with a reseller-fulfilled pay-as-you-go ink replenishment programme has been signed with Network Group.
Network Group will be offering a 360ink programme through the groups’ 71 resellers across the UK.
ReadyInk works with Epson monitoring registered customers and then shares that information with the Network Group. Most of the vendor’s printers released after 2013 come with support for the replenishment service already built in.
The programme is pitched as an alternative to monthly payment systems with the focus being on pay-as-you-go. There can also be some promotions that resellers can pass on to customers.
Mauro Bartoletti, European head of retail, Epson said: “Giving users what they want and need is at the heart of everything we do – and by working with Network Group to deliver this programme, we are also helping resellers strengthen customer retention and grow sales in an increasingly challenging market.”
