Archway joins Montego Bay Chamber

Archway Caribbean (www.archwaycaribbean.com), A Prism Company, recently joined the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce.  This was confirmed during a handover presentation with President Davon Crump and Archway’s representative Khadene Bowen at the Chamber’s offices in Montego Bay.

Ms Bowen stated that Archway which has been in operation for nearly 3 years had a large client base in Montego Bay and it was important to participate in the Chamber.  She added that records and asset management are an integral part of business and it was important that Montego Bay businesses had access to these services.  For example, we have many international companies in the Freezone who has utilized our efficient outsourced records and asset management services.  She added that in the same way that  way accounting and legal, office space is an integral part of the overall freezone product, records management  services should also be viewed in this light.  We need to make it easy to do business in Montego Bay - 

Archway makes it easy to setup and do business – one less business activity to worry about added Bowen.

Archway Caribbean is based in Reading, Jamaica, it is a full records and asset management company providing a range of services to Jamaica’s northern coast with clients from Negril to Ocho Rios with the majority of clients in the Montego Bay area.   Prism also operates a records management business Stronghold in the Kingston and St Andrew areas giving coverage to all parts of Jamaica.

Office Solutions now Neopost Postal Machine Dealer

Office Solutions now Neopost Postal Machine Dealer

Output Solutions of Central America Ltd (OSCA) – the regional partner for Neopost - is pleased to announce the appointment of Office Solutions Barbados as their dealer for the Neopost range of digital postage meter technology (or Digital franking machines) in Barbados. 

Office Solutions with two locations (the Copy Centre in Coconut Walk, Hastings and their administrative offices in Searles, Ch. Ch) are well known for their relationship with Toshiba Copiers and Printers.  Office Solutions is a major player in the print world and this relationship now gives them additional products and services for their large client base. 

The Neopost franking machine is certified by the Barbados Post Office as an official supplier of electronic postage.  Clients with these machines can pay the post office for postage which is then automatically downloaded into the machine for immediate use.  This saves time, no need to take the machine to the post office for re-filling postage (as was required with the older manual machines), better security ensuring only authorized use (this reduces losses due to unauthorised use), better reporting (accurate reporting on mail sent out) and accurate allocation of postage (ie automatically weighs the letter applying the correct postage).  Furthermore customers will now have the Post Office rates and products loaded directly on their machines allowing the correct postage to be accurately and efficiently dispensed each time.

Charles Cox, Managing Director of Office Solutions expressed his delight with the new range of products and said his sales team are in the field speaking to customers – especially companies with the older range of manual machines (Neopost and others) supplying easy upgrades and trade ins.

“Office Solutions are pleased to be a part of this project with the Barbados post office and look forward to actively working with our customers and to managing the implementation of new technologies in this field” he added.  Cox complimented the post office on their move to drive efficiency in mailing.

OSCA has similar partners in Central America, Mexico and all major English and Spanish Caribbean.

Neopost (www.neopost.com) is the market’s leading provider of Postage Meters in Europe, and second largest provider in North and South America.
