Brother UK moves into departmental scanners

Brother has launched a brand new range of departmental scanners to help resellers capitalise on the growing scanner market.

The vendor has reported a scanner sales increase of 34%* from January to December last year, while the overall scanner market is growing at15%* year on year.

The PDS-5000 and PDS-6000 are designed for businesses scanning up to 6,000 pages a day and are now Kofax VRS compatible**, enabling resellers to target larger companies who are continually archiving paperwork, such as healthcare, government, financial and insurance services. Other features include the ability to scan different media types without pre-sorting or stopping and starting.

Salim Hasan, product manager at Brother UK, said: "Following the updates to our ADS desktop range earlier this year, we've now moved into the departmental scanner category, bringing high quality scans and Kofax compatibility to high volume users.

The vendor has also expanded its portable scanner range with the addition of the DS-920DW thanks to strong growth in the category, where it has achieved substantial market share in just two years.

Salim added: "We always look to be at the forefront of providing products to meet ever-changing end users needs. The new additions mean that we now have a strong line-up of products in the following categories: portable, compact, desktop and departmental. This gives resellers a really wide range of quality options to sell to their customers."
