What Ranko does

Ranko S.A. is an Argentine private corporation founded in 1990 and headquartered in Buenos Aires that operates as an authorized distributor and digital transformation consultancy for mid-to-large enterprises. The company is the official representative in Argentina for Canon USA, Toshiba America Business Solutions, and Creality 3D, holding an exclusive electrical certification for Creality 3D printers, and resells/implements software from DocuWare, PaperCut, Therefore, and uniFLOW.

The business is organized around four pillars: Managed Print Services (equipment, supplies, maintenance, software, and financing bundled on a cost-per-page basis), Digital Document Solutions (DocuWare for cloud document management, PaperCut for print policy, Therefore for workflow, uniFLOW for universal print/scan routing), Hardware Distribution (Canon imagePRESS and imageRUNNER production presses, Toshiba multifunctionals and label printers, Canon imagePROGRAF plotters, and Creality 3D printers and accessories), and Digital Transformation Consulting (ERP/CRM/BPM implementation and process automation for medium and large enterprises). Technology is centered on managed print infrastructure integrated with third-party document management and workflow platforms; a proprietary "IK Platform" (Intelligent Platform) supports real-time fleet monitoring and proactive maintenance.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time hardware sales via an e-commerce storefront and direct corporate sales, recurring cost-per-page managed-print contracts, SaaS reselling of DocuWare and adjacent software, and professional services for consulting engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, targeting companies of all sizes throughout Argentina with on-site assessments, tailored solutions, and nationwide installation and service coverage through a field technician network, supported by an Andreani logistics partnership for product distribution.
