Cash In On Stand-Alone Bar Code Printing

By The Business Solutions Network

A systems integrator creates a stand-alone printing app that leads to printer sales and six-digit recurring revenue from consumables.

If you still think of printers as peripherals, you’re being short-sighted. Indeed, many of today’s printers include powerful onboard computers that can be used to create unique stand-alone printing applications. Such applications can become huge revenue generators and differentiators for a solutions provider. The key is to be on the lookout for customer needs that align well to stand-alone printing applications. Recently, systems integrator Barcom, Inc. created a stand-alone bar code printing solution for one of its customers in the electronics industry. This project is a great example of how powerful such a solution can be.
