Congratulations to Sharp! 2019 Copier MFP Line of the Year Award

January 17, 2019 By Stone's Office Equipment

This January Sharp Inc, claimed the prestigious 2019 Copier MFP Line of the Year Award from Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab. Stone’s Office Equipment has been advocate of Sharp products for many years due to their quality, reliability, and efficiency. We’ve been very proud and humbled to be the recipients of Sharp’s Hyakuman Kai Award on multiple occasions.

View some of the Sharp products we have on offer.

“Sharp’s copier MFPs have long been known for their quality, innovation, and ease of use, and its current line holds up to that standard,” said George Mikolay, Keypoint Intelligence’s Associate Director of Copiers/Production. “In addition to setting the bar for usability among its peers, overall reliability was tremendous throughout the line. In fact, a recent Buyers Lab award given to Sharp for Most Reliable Monochrome Copier MFP Brand 2018-2021 is a testament to the reliability of the company’s products past and present. And with a standard retractable keyboard and feature-rich scan preview, a highly intuitive and customizable control panel (and the Command WorkStation-integrated control panel on machines like the MX-7090N/MX-8090N), seamless edge-to-edge booklet printing on standard 11″ x 17″ paper, and the innovative, award-winning web utility, building workflows is a cinch for walk-up users, key operators, and IT administrators alike.”

2018 Net Promoter Scores are in… and Stone’s is Way Up There!

January 10, 2019 By Stone's Office Equipment

We’ve written about Net Promoter Scores before. A Net Promoter Score is essentially a measure of customer satisfaction. We’re in the technology business, but we are first and foremost a customer-oriented company. Happy customers are what has made us a success and what continues to motivate us to do better. So, yes, you could say that we pay a lot of attention to our Net Promoter Scores.

We generally score very well, but in 2018, we surprised even ourselves!!

It’s a 100 point scale.

The average North American (US and Canada) company scores about a 30.
Well-liked companies usually score in the 70s or 80s
Costco scored a 75, for instance and Nordstrom is at 79

Our score this year was 97.83!

#8 in North America for our whole industry!

Supporting the Virginia War Memorial

January 2, 2019 By Stone's Office Equipment

Stone’s Office Equipment are proud to support the Virginia War Memorial through their Walkway of Honor. Since 1956 the Virginia War Memorial has stood to honor all Virginians who have served as well as those who do so today. The Walkway of Honor is a wonderful way to honor a loved one, a friend, or simply to show your support for all our veterans and servicepeople though this great organization.

The Virginia War Memorial is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s premier monument, museum, and educational center honoring the memory of all Virginians who demonstrated a willingness to serve and fight to defend the United States from World War II through today. Dedication Day was February 29, 1956.
Honor a family member or friend who served in the armed forces. Recognize a military unit or veterans group. Or simply just show your or your organization’s support of the Virginia War Memorial and its educational and patriotic mission.
By purchasing an engraved brick with a personalized message, you will leave a lasting legacy and contribute a permanent feature on the Memorial grounds. The Walkway of Honor overlooks circles around the Shrine of Memory and overlooks the James River. It serves as a solemn place where visitors can come for a moment of respite and reflection.

Stone’s Office Equipment is proud to sponsor this great endeavor to help build and preserve the memory of all those who have served to defend our freedom and liberties.

When we learned of the restoration project, we couldn’t wait to become a part of it. As children, my sister and I attended movies regularly at the Ashland Movie Theatre; it was a family experience we treasure still today. So, we made the decision to not only contribute financially, but partner with them by providing office technology to include; copy, print and document management. We are excited for the opening and look forward to seeing this nearly 80-year-old treasure shine again!Sam Stone, President

Richmond Times-Dispatch: Stone’s Office Equipment stays abreast with the latest technologies

October 2, 2018 By Stone's Office Equipment

We were thrilled to read this piece on Stone’s Office Equipment in The Richmond Times-Dispatch on September 30th. The piece quotes Rich Reinecke of the Fahrenheit Group and Edward Barnes of the Barnes & Diehl law firm. We thank them both for their kind words! You can hear more from them on our testimonials page.

The company initially only repaired typewriters. “When the first typewriter lines became available we started selling the Silver Reed line,” said Sam Stone, who took over leadership of the company when his father retired in 2001. “We were one of the top dealers in the U.S.”
The company began selling copiers in the early 1990s. It picked up the Sharp line in 2000 and has been a Sharp dealer ever since.
“For being a small, local business we are recognized annually by people in our industry as one of the top dealers in the nation,” Stone said.
