What our partners think

James Ussher-Smith The Pricing People

James Ussher-Smith

Founder, The Pricing People

Big-vendor quality, with small-supplier agility

The Pricing People works with some of the UK’s best-known retailers. It provides Brother’s thermal label printers as part of a range of integrated solutions that support businesses across their supply chains, from helping shop floor workers to price up goods, to warehouse employees managing stock inventories.

“Brother has a winning formula,” said James Ussher-Smith, founder at The Pricing People. “You get the product quality and maturity from a big multi-national vendor, but the agility, quick decision making and appetite for collaboration, that you might typically find from a smaller supplier.

“Brother’s stepped up to help us overcome the specific needs of our customers. In the past, they’ve even created bespoke accessories for us in the space of weeks.

“It’s rare to find such responsiveness from big vendors like Brother, which is something that ultimately helps us to provide the best service to our customers.”

The business's retail customers also use Brother's Managed Label Service. "This is another example of Brother's agile thinking. The ability to lease its hardware helps bring down the upfront cost of our systems to customers, making our solutions more friendly to their budgets," said James.
