Today, we generate approximately $491 million in annual revenue and serve over 40,000 businesses across the western U.S. with a team of about 1,400 employees across 30+ regional offices in Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, New Mexico, and Idaho. At our core, we offer a broad array of services focused on streamlining workplace operations.

We proudly partner with industry-leading hardware brands including Canon, Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Sharp, HP, and Lexmark to deliver customized solutions to our clients. Our Managed Print Services (MPS) form a cornerstone of our business, allowing customers to outsource print operations for greater efficiency, supply monitoring, device maintenance, and overall workflow optimization.
