SCHAUMBURG, IL …For the 16th year in a row, Pulse Technology has been selected as an Elite Dealer Award winner by ENX Magazine/The Week in Imaging, a national magazine which recognizes top technology and office equipment/imaging solutions dealers from across the United States through a nomination/evaluation process.

Pulse Technology, which incorporates the former Des Plaines Office Equipment and Kramer & Leonard McShane’s under its umbrella, serves Illinois and Indiana from multiple locations: Chicago, Schaumburg and Rockford, IL, and Chesterton, IN.

The Elite Dealer award is the annual “Who’s Who” of the office technology dealer community.

Each year, ENX Magazine judges Elite Dealer applicants on a number of criteria, from technical service excellence to marketing proficiency, growth initiatives, technology leadership, industry accolades and philanthropy.  Affinity Business Communications, the publisher of ENX Magazine and ENX TheWeek In Imaging, announced that the recipients of the 2022 Elite Dealers will be featured in the December issue of ENX Magazine.

Susan Neimes, publisher and managing editor of ENX Magazine and ENX The Week in Imaging, said, “While the office technology reseller sector is still hamstrung by the after-effects of the pandemic that have added downward pressure on revenue performance, this edition of the annual who’s who among U.S. dealers is a clear indication that many of the industry’s top performers are equaling (and in some cases, eclipsing) pre-pandemic sales and profitability levels. Our 2022 list is inclusive of all levels of sales volume, from $2.5-million performers to hundred-million-dollar giants.”

She continued, “Perhaps the most significant takeaway from this year’s list is the notion that dealers were well prepared to venture into new, untapped areas of revenue, which has helped to bridge the sales delta in the face of continuously declining print volumes and the increasing need of hybrid solutions. This resourcefulness had begun to take hold even prior to the pandemic, but as the smoke clears to reveal the changing business landscape, it will continue to serve the dealer community well as it pushes forward into a new era of client engagement.”

Erik Cagle, editorial director of ENX Magazine added, “Product diversification has proven an effective elixir for growth beyond unit hardware. Dealers have also ramped up their marketing outreach initiatives and embraced new tools that can identify end-users who are seeking traditional and ancillary business-enhancement solutions. In the end, those resellers who can assume a consultative role with their clients and shine a light on the full breadth of products and services that can meet their end-users’ objectives will continue to dominate in their markets, regardless of the flavor of technology offerings.”
