Scope Business Imaging

What Scope Business Imaging does

Scope Business Imaging is a privately held Western Australian office printing and document solutions provider founded in 1986 and headquartered in Osborne Park, Perth. The company supplies, services and finances A3 and A4 multifunction printers and wide-format printers from three global brands — Konica Minolta (where it is the largest independent dealer in WA), Sharp, and Brother — for small, medium and large offices, as well as vertical specialists in legal and architecture/engineering/construction. Service operations are run locally from four WA offices (Perth, Bunbury, Karratha, Port Hedland), with a 2-hour metro response time and a 98% first-time fix rate, and there are no offshore call centres.

The business is a value-added reseller and managed print services provider. Core technology is hardware-based: office multifunction devices ranging from 20-75 ppm, bundled with remote monitoring, automated consumables replenishment, and integration with third-party document management platforms (LEAP, Actionstep, NetDocuments). Supporting digital tools include a content-driven Knowledge Hub and an interactive Printer Finder Tool that recommends devices based on office size, print volume and workflow.

Scope makes money through three commercial channels: outright equipment sales, multi-year managed print subscriptions (12-60 month terms bundling equipment, servicing, maintenance and consumables into one monthly cost), and short-term rentals for project-based needs. Go-to-market is consultative, sales-led and regional: field sales and inside sales teams operate from the four WA offices targeting small offices through enterprise customers. A sub-brand, Scope Print, extends into retail and custom print services from the Karratha office. The company is led by founder and Managing Director Dennis Bartulovic with a four-person leadership team; no external investors, parent companies or funding rounds are disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Managed Print Services (Leasing/Rental): Bundled monthly agreements covering equipment, servicing, maintenance and consumables. Terms range from 12 to 60 months. This is the primary commercial model, designed to eliminate upfront capital outlay and provide predictable operating expenses for customers.
2. Equipment Sales (Outright Purchase): Direct sale of office printers and multifunction devices to customers who prefer to own equipment outright. Customers may purchase a separate service agreement for ongoing maintenance.
3. Short-Term Rental: Flexible rental solutions for short-term or project-based printer requirements, with service agreements optionally covering maintenance, consumables and technical support.
4. Managed Print Services (Additive Revenue): Ongoing servicing, maintenance and consumables (toner/ink) supply bundled into monthly agreements, generating recurring service revenue over the life of customer contracts.

Direct peers

• Ricoh Australia: Ricoh is a major global OEM and managed print services provider with a direct Australian sales and service operation. It competes directly with Scope Business Imaging in office A3/A4 printers, managed print services, and document workflow across Australia.
• Kyocera Document Solutions Australia: Kyocera is a competing OEM specialising in long-life ECOSYS printers and managed print services for mid-market and enterprise customers. It competes head-to-head with Scope's Konica Minolta and Sharp offerings in A4 and A3 multifunction categories.

Broad incumbents

• Fuji Xerox Australia (now Fujifilm Business Innovation Australia): Fujifilm Business Innovation (formerly Fuji Xerox) is another major direct OEM and managed print services provider in Australia, competing with Scope in A3 multifunction devices, production printing, and enterprise document workflows.
• Lexmark Australia: Lexmark is a global OEM with a direct Australian presence in A4 and A3 office printers and managed print services. It targets enterprise and SMB customers similar to Scope's segments, particularly in legal and government verticals.
• Canon Australia: Canon is a global OEM with a broad Australian reseller and direct sales footprint in office printers, multifunction devices, and production print. It competes with Scope in the SMB and enterprise A4/A3 segments.
• Sharp Australia: Sharp is one of Scope's three OEM partners and sells and services its own BP-series A3 and A4 multifunction printers directly in Australia. It overlaps with Scope's product portfolio and competes both through and alongside Scope's dealer channel.
• HP Australia: HP is the largest global printer OEM and a major player in Australian A4 office printers and managed print services. While Scope's product portfolio is heavier on Konica Minolta and Sharp A3 devices, HP competes for the same customers in the A4 and SMB segments.
