Where mobility meets reliability — Ricoh New Zealand and Zebra Technologies are bringing world-class frontline technology to Kiwi businesses.

 

Empower your workforce with rugged devices, real-time insights, and end-to-end visibility.

A Partnership That Works the Way You Do

Frontline workers across logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail face constant pressure to do more, faster, safer, and more sustainably. But heavy technology investments often stand in the way of progress. Ricoh and Zebra are changing that.

Ricoh New Zealand has partnered with Zebra Technologies to deliver frontline mobility, real-time visibility, and rugged reliability, now with the added flexibility of an OPEX-based model that eliminates large upfront costs.

This means Kiwi businesses can now access enterprise-grade scanning, labelling, and mobile computing solutions with predictable monthly pricing, national service coverage, and full lifecycle support all wrapped into one simple, scalable offering.

Why This Partnership Matters for New Zealand

Ricoh New Zealand has partnered with Zebra Technologies, a global leader in enterprise-grade mobile computing, barcode scanning, and printing solutions.

Together, we’re helping New Zealand businesses eliminate upfront investment hurdles through our Solutions-as-a-Service model, improving operational efficiency with rugged, fit-for-purpose Zebra devices.

Customers gain access to real-time support and nationwide service from Ricoh’s local engineering teams, enabling them to scale technology solutions across multiple sites without the burden of asset ownership. Additionally, our solutions support sustainability goals through linerless label printing and reduced packaging waste.

The Power of Global Technology, Delivered Locally

Across Europe and the UK, the Ricoh-Zebra partnership has already proven its value, delivering better visibility, stronger compliance, and greater operational efficiency. Now, Ricoh is bringing that same capability right here to Aotearoa, with dedicated local service and support.

Ricoh New Zealand will now be providing a full range of Zebra hardware and services as part of our broader workplace technology portfolio. That means:

  • Procurement, deployment, and ongoing support, all managed by Ricoh
  • Integration with existing Ricoh-managed services like IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and print
  • Flexible commercial models that align with your operating budget
  • SLA-backed national support and break/fix response across NZ
  • Onboarding, training, and proactive monitoring built in

Whether it’s a rugged mobile computer in a North Island port, or a handheld scanner on the floor of a South Island hospital, Zebra’s tools are now part of the Ricoh ecosystem, backed by local people who understand your sector and your priorities.
