Image Star has joined Office Partners as a new vendor partner to help expand the buying group's IT product offerings. Through this partnership, Office Partner members will gain access to Image Star's full catalog of IT hardware, software, supplies and solutions, plus special buying group program benefits like contracted pricing, group invoicing and credit, rebate eligibility and more.

Office Partners is a service-disabled-veteran-owned, family-operated buying group with a mission to help independent dealers grow stronger, more competitive and better equipped to meet the evolving needs of their customers. Known for delivering tailored vendor programs, marketing support and flexible technology, supply and furniture offerings to its members, Office Partners brings a unique community-driven channel model. Meanwhile, Image Star offers nationwide wholesale distribution for the IT reseller channel across computer, A/V, communication and document imaging solutions. Together the partnership will empower channel partners to deliver differentiated value, stronger margins and modern office technology solutions to their end customers.

"Independent office suppliers are looking for partners that can help them move beyond commodity supplies into higher-value technology and workspace solutions,” said Philip Crean, chief commercial officer, Image Star. "Office Partners has built a trusted community of independent resellers. By combining that with Image Star's portfolio of IT hardware and solutions, channel support infrastructure and partner-first service culture, we can help bring a new wave of opportunity to the independent reseller channel."

Through this relationship, Image Star will leverage its distribution infrastructure, value-added services and reseller enablement to amplify Office Partners' reach and accelerate the distribution of modern office technology solutions — from computer hardware and peripherals to collaboration and communication solutions. Resellers will gain access to curated technology bundles, channel pricing, marketing tools and partner-friendly programs designed to capture recurring revenue streams and strengthen customer relationships.
