Ingram Micro snaps up top award

Ingram Micro has claimed Zebra Technologies top Asia Pacific award, winning the vendor's Award of Excellence for the Asia Pacific region.

David Charlton, Ingram Micro ANZ general manager for DCPOS, says while the distributor doesn't normally release numbers for individual business units, the company's APAC Zebra business has grown more than 22% in the past 12 months.

"Zebra is not only a significant regional player in the enterprise asset intelligence market, but is an extremely important part of our business," Charlton says.

The award, which was presented at Zebra Technologies annual global Zebra conference in Las Vegas, recognises channel partners and distributors for outstanding performance.

Ingram Micro was one of only four companies worldwide to be selected for the recognition.

"These days it's simply not enough to have the right stock at the right price," Charlton says.

"The key differentiating factor is the quality of the customer service that we can deliver, which is why we are continuing to invest in our DCPOS team, so our channel partners get the level of service they need," he says.

Charlton says the award is great recognition for all the hard work that the distributor's channel partners and staff have invested in Zebra's growth.
