Reseller partners can use the platform to provide customers with a subscription for labelling devices, giving businesses the option to spread the upfront cost of new Brother label printers, third party hardware, software, services and supplies over an affordable monthly payment plan.
Ged Cairns, head of auto ID business unit at Brother UK, said, “We’re always looking for ways to support our resellers as they work to break and expand into new markets. Online sales surged during lockdown and the elevated levels that we see now will continue post-pandemic. Retailers are investing in technology as they reshape their business models and make their logistics operations as efficient as possible. But they are also experiencing pressure on their cashflow, and MLS can enable them to have the latest labelling solution, with no large upfront cost and a predictable monthly payment instead.
“Resellers get their entire payment up front and Brother can support them in using the platform and throughout the sales process. This service will enable them to provide their customers with flexible payment options at a time when many are making significant changes to how their businesses operate.”
