What Smartprint does
SmartPrint Inc. is a Toronto-headquartered, independent Managed Print Services (MPS) provider founded in 1987 (originally as A&M Carbon and Ribbon). The company has built a vendor-neutral position across the major print OEMs — including HP, Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Dell, Samsung, and Fujitsu — enabling it to deploy best-fit equipment for client environments rather than pushing a single brand. Its flagship offering, SmartPrint360, integrates equipment, software, supplies, and services into a single monthly billing arrangement with proactive remote monitoring, automated supply delivery, and 24/7 security monitoring. Adjacent offerings include Intelligent Workflow Solutions (AI-enabled document workflow and accounts payable automation), FollowMe secure print release, vendor consolidation, and document control modules.
The business operates on a recurring subscription-based MPS revenue model complemented by hardware pass-through, software licensing, and professional services revenue streams. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, inside sales for mid-market, and channel partnerships, including a March 2026 strategic partnership with Atlantic Tomorrow's Office for US market expansion. SmartPrint serves enterprise and mid-market organizations (100+ employees) across six primary verticals: healthcare, legal, manufacturing, retail, financial services, and professional services, with documented operational footprints in Ontario and Quebec and channel reach into the US.
The company has demonstrated longevity through 10+ consecutive years on the CDN Top 100 Solution Providers list, multiple HP Partner of the Year awards, and a World Class NPS of 95. Its competitive advantages include switching costs from embedded fleet management, distribution advantage from covering 92% of the OEM business installed base, and intangible brand equity in the Canadian mid-market. Notable M&A history includes the 2016 acquisition of LaserCorp's Toronto MPS practice (adding 100+ professional services clients) and the 2017 acquisition of DynaCharge Laser Inc. of Montreal for Quebec expansion. No external funding rounds are disclosed, indicating founder-/operator-owned organic growth with selective tuck-in M&A.

Smartprint competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Xerox: Xerox is a global OEM with a large direct Managed Print Services business, competing across the same enterprise and mid-market verticals as SmartPrint. While SmartPrint is vendor-neutral, Xerox offers the full stack (devices + services + financing), making it the benchmark large incumbent in the MPS category.
- HP Inc. HP operates its own Managed Print Services practice and is SmartPrint's largest OEM partner (multiple Partner of the Year awards). HP's direct MPS competes head-to-head with channel partners like SmartPrint, particularly in the same healthcare, legal, and enterprise verticals.
- Ricoh: Ricoh's Managed Document Services is a global MPS offering bundled with its multifunction device portfolio. It competes with SmartPrint across enterprise accounts and serves as another benchmark OEM-led incumbent in the same category.
- Konica Minolta: Konica Minolta offers Optimised Print Services and broader enterprise content management, overlapping with SmartPrint's SmartPrint360 and Intelligent Workflow offerings. It is a comparable broad OEM incumbent competing for similar mid-market and enterprise contracts.
- Canon: Canon is both an OEM partner of SmartPrint (Authorized Dealer) and a competitor through its enterprise MFD and managed services portfolio. Canon competes in the same healthcare, legal, and retail verticals with a similar device-plus-services bundle.
- Lexmark: Lexmark is a Core OEM partner of SmartPrint and also a competitor via its own channel of MPS dealers and direct enterprise offerings. Its solution-based technology and vertical-specific applications overlap with SmartPrint's workflow automation stack.
Direct peers
- Atlantic Tomorrow's Office: Atlantic is SmartPrint's newly announced strategic partner (March 2026) and a US-headquartered managed services provider that will adopt SmartPrint's MPS framework. It is the most directly comparable independent MPS competitor in terms of service model and target customer, though primarily US-based.
- Compugen: Compugen is a Canadian IT services and managed services provider that includes managed print within a broader workplace technology portfolio. It is a close Canadian-market comparable to SmartPrint, competing for similar enterprise and mid-market customers.
Emerging players
- Pharos: Pharos is a print management software vendor whose secure print release and output management products directly compete with the FollowMe solution SmartPrint resells. It represents the software-only emerging-player angle of the MPS stack SmartPrint bundles.
- PaperCut: PaperCut provides print management software (Mobility Print, Print Deploy, Find Me) that competes with the FollowMe and SmartPrint360 workflow layer. As a software-only emerging player, it represents a partial-overlap competitor focused on the workflow and security layer rather than full MPS delivery.
