How can Sound Power Solutions fit Brother VPP+ into your IT roadmap to keep multi-location print costs predictable?
We bring together our managed IT and software development experience with Brother Value Print Program Plus to standardize cost-per-page pricing, use a cloud platform for remote print monitoring, and align printing with your broader Sound Power Solutions technology roadmap.
What is the Brother Value Print Program Plus (VPP Plus)?
The Brother Value Print Program Plus (VPP Plus) is an enhanced version of Brother’s existing Value Print Program designed for authorized partners who sell and manage print fleets.
It keeps the core benefits of the original program and adds a cloud-based managed print services (MPS) platform to help you grow MPS revenue and lower operational costs.
Key elements include:
- Competitive cost-per-page pricing on Brother genuine consumables.
- Extended hardware protection with a three-year limited warranty on select models.
- Priority call support and overnight device exchange for major accounts.
- A vendor-agnostic, cloud-based MPS platform for remote monitoring and management.
In short, VPP Plus is designed to help you reimagine how you deliver managed print services by combining financial advantages with modern, cloud-based fleet management.
How does the cloud-based MPS platform help my business?
The cloud-based MPS platform in VPP Plus is built to simplify fleet management and reduce the time and cost of supporting customer devices.
Key capabilities include:
- Vendor-agnostic monitoring – Manage Brother devices and other supported brands from a single cloud platform.
- Remote setup and configuration – Use an onscreen connect-to-server button for easy onboarding, then configure devices remotely from the cloud.
- Automated supplies availability – Track consumables so you can proactively manage toner and other supplies, helping avoid downtime and emergency shipments.
- Secure device communication – Devices communicate via HTTPS, and you don’t need separate data collection software on the customer’s network.
These features help you streamline service delivery, cut manual tasks, and create more predictable, value-focused MPS offerings for your customers.
What value does VPP Plus offer to partners and their customers?
VPP Plus is designed to help you rethink how you deliver print services by combining financial, operational, and support benefits.
For partners, VPP Plus can:
- Improve margins with competitive cost-per-page pricing on genuine Brother consumables.
- Lower service costs through cloud-based remote monitoring and management instead of frequent onsite visits.
- Strengthen your offer with a three-year limited warranty on select hardware, plus priority call support and overnight device exchange for major accounts.
- Differentiate your MPS practice by offering a vendor-agnostic, cloud-based platform that’s included with Brother devices.
For customers, VPP Plus can:
- Help reduce printing costs through predictable cost-per-page pricing.
- Increase uptime with proactive supplies management and fast device replacement for major accounts.
