Motion Computing Appoints Simms as Distributor

The addition of Simms as an Australian wholesale representative for Motion Computing’s slate tablet PCs, including the J3400, F5, C5, LE1700 and peripherals, will further strengthen Motion’s sales base in Australia.  Simms will work with its extensive network of resellers to reach vertical markets such as healthcare, field service and sales and government.

Simms International Managing Director Danny Moore welcomed Motion Computing as a partner whose offerings are a significant addition to the existing Simms’ portfolio.

“Motion Computing enjoys an outstanding reputation and we are proud to offer its slate tablet PCs and peripherals to our customers,” Moore said. “We will support these products with the same high standards of service, commitment and focus for which Simms is renowned.”

Simms will offer its sales, marketing, technical support and logistics expertise to assist its resellers in taking full advantage of opportunities to sell Motion Computing products. This partnership reinforces Simms’ already strong position in the Corporate segment.

“Our channel program is an integral component of our business model and vital to our continuing growth in the region,” said Brett Gross, Regional Manager, Australia and New Zealand for Motion Computing.  “Our agreement with Simms International will allow us to more effectively broaden our outreach to both resellers and our target markets.”
