Systemax Built-to-Order Systems, updated and perfected

If you have been selling Systemax Built-to-Order machines in the past and found that the systems were a bit outdated, we don't blame you. Today however, marks a special day in the history of our company. We have implemented new software that gives us the ability to update product information from Systemax and others, almost on the fly.

What does this mean for you?
First of all we now have a much larger product offering, including servers and even data storage products. It also means that we will always have the best pricing available which means you can make more money and still be competitive. But most of all, the system is error-free. Where we used to have price discrepancies in the past, we now have a very robust system that has proved to be flawless. We will be adding other manufacturers to this system soon, including MPC and Gateway.

How do you get there?
Just go to your storefront (under sales), and click on "custom pc's" in the top menu bar.

Making old work with new

As more and more manufacturers eliminate legacy ports from their motherboards, customers sometimes end up having to make a choice between sticking to an old PC that has the ability to connect to their older peripherals, or having to buy new peripherals because they decided to upgrade to a new PC.

Although there is nothing wrong with having your customer buy additional peripherals like printers or scanners, some of them might have proprietary equipment like bar-code scanners, cash registers or other products that cost a lot more to upgrade.

With the three devices below they can connect thier old equipment, including keyboards and mice to thier new PC. One advice: check with the peripheral manufacturer to make sure they support this.

MPC back in your store?

If you have been following the news about Gateway or MPC (formerly known as MicronPC) you may have noticed this announcement. Some of you may still remember we used to offer MPC BTO products on the storefront . We decided to take MPC off-line over a year ago due to delivery times of up to 3 months.

Since then they seem to have made some dramatic changes to their operations in Nampa. One of us went to visit them a few weeks back to make sure we can stand behind MPC as we once did and they sure impressed us.

Since then we have been working with their engineers to get their Built-to-Order Desktops, Notebooks, Servers and Data Storage on your storefront. Within the next few weeks you will be able to offer your customers a second, US built and supported BTO manufacturer.
