At Bizcom, we feel the leading brand of notebook is the one you recommend. Independent research indicates that the recommendation a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) makes to a client is in fact the end customer's choice 75% of the time. The source of confidence you put in the brand and specification recommended is knowing what to expect from your supplier and manufacturer.
At Compal, we have spent 19 years focused on notebook manufacturing. This focus has resulted in winning the trust and confidence of world-leading international brand companies to design and manufacture millions of notebook computers. In fact, Compal manufactured over 25,5 millions laptops in 2008.
As an investment to grow the notebook business, Compal established Bizcom Electronics Inc in 1992 to provide notebook repair and logistic services for OEM customers. With proven experience, and the backing of Compal, Bizcom provides the foundation on which channel resellers can now build their notebook business.
The Notebook Business Opportunity
Today, PC may well stand for Portable Computer instead of Personal Computer. Work-style and life-styles demand mobility, and the total benefit and cost of ownership of a mobile PC is proving to be an advantage over a desktop computer. In fact, research indicates notebook PC growth is on a steep climb.
An increasing factor in the growth of notebook PC market-share is the emergence of channel brands and the availability of customizable "Mobile Built-to-Order" - a term that defines an unbranded notebook PCs which are then private-labeled and assembled by resellers or distributors.
Of course, there are many questions that require clear answers to ensure resellers can profitably participate in the Mobile BTO market.
Business Models of the WhiteBook Business
What is your Mobile BTO strategy? "Mobile BTO" is a metaphor that is used to discuss the multiple business models and go-to-market (GTM) strategies of channel customers.
Bizcom Warranty and Service
As an added comfort, Bizcom provides in-warranty and out-of-warranty coverage and repair services for all its products. Each system serial number is maintained in a database which identifies our original customer. Systems are standard with a 12-month warranty from original date of sale. Extended Warranty Program, parts and service program is handled by Bizcom OEM channel partners.
But can I compete?
You are undoubtedly aware of the margin pressures and negativity of selling "only" hardware. By creating value, you give yourself the opportunity to charge for it. By maintaining focus, you give yourself a clear chance to prosper.
Compal notebooks are engineered to the highest standards, evidenced by the OEM roster of clients we serve. Our economies of scale in production ensure a competitively priced system. And our time to market on key platforms, such as Intel Centrino Mobile Technology, coupled with our local supply chain provides resellers a unique business advantage.
Compal Product Roadmap
Certain of the notebook models which we offer to the channel, share a common platform with other international OEM customer(s). Other models are exclusively designed for the channel.
Our product portfolio reflects form-factors and features defined as Thin & Light, Mainstream Performance, and Mainstream Value.
Each chassis platform enjoy a long life-cycle, through which we qualify processors of increasing speeds, relative to Intel roadmaps and upgraded core-logic and video chipsets. This approach provides longer sales cycle and lower total cost of product management for the reseller.
Compal Logo Label
All notebook models share a common logo label size - a little thing that is very convenient - which gets affixed to the LCD cover panel. We can refer you to local logo label makers whom already have the tooling for the label made, saving you money.
