The Oldham Group will act as a value-added-reseller, handling sales and marketing, installation, on-site training and ongoing support of the Accura MIS product suite across five localised offices in Illinois, Texas, Ohio and Missouri. The company has previous experience in sales and support across workflow software, as well as consumables, colour management, and digital and wide-format machines.

UK-based Accura claims its modular MIS is suitable for SME print companies using litho, digital, screen, web, label and wide-format. It provides an end-to-end solution for printers, managing production, e-commerce, proofing, dispatch, invoicing, costing and inventory, according to Accura.

The partnership will expand Accura’s customer base of 600 print companies across Europe, Canada, USA, Middle East, South Africa and Australia.

The Oldham Group vice president Jerry Collins said: "We have been looking for an MIS system for some time, to fill what we saw as a hole in our product portfolio. The partnership with Accura is a perfect match.

"We feel the product has appeal across our whole client base, both large and small, as well as acting as a door opener into new clients and market sectors."

Accura international sales director Alan Potter added: "This partnership with The Oldham Group will give us access to a large base of printing companies, through its professional sales and support network, which we are confident will rapidly advance the sales of Accura across the USA."
