The Brother technology that's delivering a more productive mobile workforce
Three quarters of SMBs report that their staff use print outside the office. Brother’s mobile print and scan technology is making businesses more productive and profitable in various sectors.
The world of work has change massively for SMBs, with three quarters now reporting that their staff use print outside the office.
That has enabled huge efficiency gains, and Brother’s mobile print and scan technology is making businesses more productive and profitable in sectors from sales to field service.
Our products are versatile too, and can be seamlessly integrated with your existing software systems and hardware, including Apple and Android tablets, smartphones and PDAs.
Our tech can cut processing times and costs with the ability to print on the go, reduce administrative duties, and increase customer satisfaction by replacing handwritten documents with something more professional, legible and instant.
We have helped plenty of customers achieve significant operational and cost benefits.
Typical among them is national window blind manufacturer and retailer Hillarys, which sells via a network of more than 1,000 self-employed advisors across Great Britain and Ireland.
Immediate return on investment
Since 2005, Hillarys has used Brother’s mobile printers to create professional order confirmations and receipts for customers.
The reliable, lightweight printers are just 16cm by 10cm, so are truly pocket-sized, use thermal printing technology, so there are no ink cartridges to replace, and were immediately popular with remote workers.
The efficiencies the printers created meant an immediate return on investment, allowing advisers to make more sales appointments and increasing revenue, while also reducing delivery times and improving customer service.
And when the handheld PDAs advisors used were phased out by the manufacturers, Hillarys could seamlessly switch to Samsung Android smartphones and retain their existing fleet of Brother mobile printers, which wirelessly link to the new devices using Bluetooth.
