Brother Saves Up To 60% “Cost”

Fiji saves be­tween 20 to 60 per cent costs when using print technology company brand, Broth­er, says Brother International New Zealand Limited (FNZIM) executive chairman Graham Walshe.

Mr Walshe spoke on the topic of transformation of print on the first day of the Fiji Tech Summit 2022 at the Intercontinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa in Natadola.

He has led Brother NZ and Pa­cific team as the chairman for 40 years, 13 years as Brother Group leader for corporate/marketing Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa and 11 years as Deputy Chair of PCF.

Mr Walshe represents 43,000 people who contribute to making Brother a significant business globally.

While addressing industry lead­ers and executives on Thursday, Mr Walshe said that Brother cus­tomers saved money and reduced the environmental impact with the right size solution.

He said Telecom and DataCom were the group’s top partners in Manage Print Service (MPS).

Mr Walshe said that Brother had been serving the Fiji market for 25 years now.

“And it’s no secret that we do it with a company called Telecom who are our partners for about 22 years and they’re an amazing company who have provided the customers with choice and distri­bution where they want to buy the product from. It doesn’t have to be Telecom, it could be anywhere,” he said.

“Service and support is the key attribute that they bring."

“And partnership with Brother, Telecom has established the first free recycling in Fiji. When the boxes are full you ring us, we get through you to pick it up, we take it, we place it in a container, and we ship it back to NZ and we recy­cle it there.”

He said Brother intended to as­sess the needs of their customers, understand what their require­ments were, understand the run­ning costs and recommend a right solution to suit their needs.

“Brother right sizing approach reduces cost and environmentally savings to you, our customers and for Fiji these savings can be be­tween 20 and 60 per cent of your costs and they are very signifi­cant,” he added.

Print Volume

Mr Walshe added that the overall print volumes were declining at five per cent per annum.

He said because of this, there was a strong approach to MPS.

He also highlighted that in 2025, an estimated 2.3trillion pages would be printed and despite the decline, this amount represented 4.4million pages being printed globally.
