Starr Digital Solutions

What Starr Digital Solutions does

Starr Digital Solutions is a Columbus, Ohio-based document processing solutions provider founded in 2000 that sells and services Kyocera Taskalfa equipment for the Columbus metropolitan business market. The product portfolio spans three lines — floor-standing multifunction printers, desktop MFPs, and standalone printers — each available in black-and-white and color variants, complemented by managed print services that include supply management, proactive maintenance, fleet assessment, and cost-optimization engagements structured as multi-year contracts. Adjacent document lifecycle services extend the offering into document management, scanning-as-a-service, document destruction/shredding, and digital cloud fax.

The company operates a direct sales motion from a single regional office at 950 Suite E Taylor Station Road in Gahanna, Ohio, with pricing conducted on a quote-based basis through phone and email channels. Customer segmentation is vertical, with named enterprise engagements spanning food manufacturing (J.T.M. Food Group), professional sports (Cincinnati Bengals), and financial services (Wealthquest), alongside an undisclosed SMB tail. Marketing is conducted through the company website, customer testimonials, and the broader Waltz Business Solutions digital presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, blog).

In 2026, Starr Digital Solutions was acquired by Waltz Business Solutions, a larger business solutions provider headquartered in Crestview Hills, Kentucky. The acquisition is positioned as continuity-preserving — the same team and services continue, now backed by expanded resources — but it effectively transfers the company into a multi-OEM platform that includes Xerox production print, Riso inkjets, Verkada security cameras, interactive displays, and mailing solutions. Starr has 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding history, and no public revenue figures.
