April 17, 2013 – Flo-Tech was honored with the 2013 Perfect ImageAward for Outstanding Managed Print Services (MPS) Program. The award presented by imageSource Magazine and the ITEX Advisory Board (as part of the ITEX National Expo & Conference) honors excellence, innovation and leadership in MPS. The independent Advisory Board, made up of industry consultants, associations, vendors and other industry peers selected Flo-Tech for this recognition from thousands of office equipment dealers, managed print services providers and other printing and imaging resellers throughout the United States. Flo-Tech, headquartered in Connecticut, has a national presence and provides Managed Print Solutions to over 5,000 clients in 42 states.
The award was presented to Flo-Tech CEO, Leo Bonetti, at a formal recognition ceremony at the ITEX National Expo & Conference held in Las Vegas, NV on April 17, 2013. This is the third consecutive year Flo-Tech has been recognized with a Perfect Image Award including the 2011 Dealer of the Year Award and 2012 recognition for Outstanding Sales Program.
This year’s Perfect Image Award for Outstanding Managed Print Services Program recognized Flo-Tech for its innovative approach to MPS delivery – from predictive service to fleet management and “document” related software solutions, Flo-Tech continues to leverage technology to improve service levels and provide greater value to businesses and organizations across the country.
Highlights include:
· Integrated Service Delivery Platform – Flo-Tech’s integrated service delivery platform provides technician’s extensive information about a service event before arriving at a customer site. This contributes to rapid service response and a 95% first time fix rate minimizing downtime and disruption to day to day business operations.
· Predictive Service - Flo-Tech is infusing predictive analytics into the foundation of its MPS program, its service delivery model, to “predict” when service is needed and turn emergency service calls into planned/scheduled service events. This reduces downtime and helpdesk calls and minimizes business disruption.
· Flo-Tech is also deploying tablet technology as part of its assessment and asset management capabilities to provide more comprehensive fleet management and optimization services; earned certifications on leading edge policy based security solutions, mobile printing and document management solutions; and is currently undergoing Six Sigma business process certification.

April 18, 2012 – Flo-Tech, headquartered in Connecticut with offices in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC area, was recognized with the Perfect Image Award for Outstanding Sales Program by imageSource Magazine and the ITEX Advisory Board. This independent Board made up of industry consultants and other industry peers selected Flo-Tech for this recognition from thousands of office equipment dealers, managed print services providers and other printing and imaging resellers from across the country.
The award was presented from the imageSource Live Theater at the ITEX National Expo & Conference held in Las Vegas, NV on April 18, 2012. The award was presented to Leo Bonetti, Flo-Tech CEO and Steve Therrien, COO at a formal recognition ceremony. This is the second consecutive year that Flo-Tech has been recognized with a Perfect Image Award, last year taking home the Perfect Image Dealer of the Year Award.
This year’s Perfect Image Award for Outstanding Sales Program recognized Flo-Tech for consistent sales growth in terms of revenues and client base and a unique approach to more closely align sales reps goals and objectives with our clients’. Flo-Tech has always been focused on doing what’s best for our customers and two key factors, that are somewhat unique in the industry, allow Flo-Tech to do things differently than some of the other MPS providers out there:
1) The ability to take over the service and support of a client’s existing fleet of printers, copiers and mfps, without having to put in any new hardware. Client engagements typically start with optimizing their current environment to achieve cost efficiencies and improve the overall performance of their fleet. Once that has been completed, the need for new hardware is assessed based on business and application needs or to achieve additional cost and operational efficiencies.
2) An “un-quota” system - Sales reps are no longer driven by quotas but by striving to meet clearly defined goals and objectives that benefit them, Flo-Tech, but most importantly our customers. This approach allows our salesforce to deliver the right solutions for the client not the solution that gets them to quota. They can focus on the best solution to meet the client’s objectives – cost savings, reducing resource requirements, reducing the number of devices they have to manage and/or other objectives defined as part of an upfront assessment process.
About Flo-Tech: Flo-Tech, founded in 1992, is a managed print services company providing printing and imaging solutions with proactive service and support for printers, copiers and mfps for 5,000+ clients nationwide. Flo-Tech is an HP Managed Print Advanced Specialist, Authorized Canon Dealer, 2011 Dealer of the Year (Perfect Image Award, imageSource Magazine), 7 time winner of the Elite Dealer Award and 2 time recipient of the Business Champions Award for fastest growing private companies. Flo-Tech’s CEO has also been recognized as one of the “Top 40 Most Influential People in the Imaging Industry”. Flo-Tech is also a Waste Wise Partner recognized for its commitment to sustainability.
