Pi Data Supplies

“We always listen to our resellers.  Our goal has always been to offer the products that match the buying needs of our clients,” explains Pi Data’s President, Ben Maggid. “After years of specializing in only genuine OEM products, we at Pi Data have increased our mix of office supplies to include Premium compatible toner products. We listened to our resellers who requested the ability to do one-stop purchasing from Pi Data. We now offer an extensive line of the most popular genuine OEM products, as well as Premium monochrome and color printer toner.”

”Before offering compatible products, we did some extensive homework. We researched several different manufacturers. Pi Data Supplies choose quality manufacturers that are able to assure our users with the same build specs as the OEM products.” Ben Maggid continues, “Pi Data stands behind all the compatible products. We offer a one year 100% product guarantee. Each Premium compatible is shipped in a professionally designed four-color glossy box that of course makes no mention of Pi Data’s name to protect our resellers.”

“One of our greatest strengths is our flexibility to be able to add the products our clients ask us to provide. We are an aggressive company made up of individuals who have all been in the industry for a long time,” 18 year industry veteran Niki Tout explains. “As Director of Sales, I understand the importance of developing long-term relationships with each one of our resellers. We honestly believe if you do business with us once, you will be a return buyer.”

Niki continues, “Whether it’s our aggressive or even often below market pricing, holding stock for trusted resellers, importing hard to obtain products, or relaxing our minimum order policy, we are flexible. What we offer is a relationship that we are interested in maintaining at any mutually advantageous price.”
