Growing recognition Des Plaines Office Equipment Co has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, indicating momentum and potential for upsell of managed print, managed networks, and related services to a growing customer base.

Targeted hiring signals Recent hires such as corporate recruiter and a promoted director of sales suggest expanding sales and talent acquisition efforts, presenting opportunities to position MSP/MDS offerings, training services, and enterprise-grade procurement solutions.

Small but scalable With a lean team (2–10 employees) and <$1M revenue, there is likely a need for scalable, cost-effective IT and print management solutions, cloud collaboration tools, and outsourced IT support to drive efficiency.

Market position As a three-generation family business in managed print services and managed networks serving Chicago and Northern Indiana, there is potential to pursue regional expansion deals, channel partnerships, and strategic alliances with office equipment and IT vendors.

Tech and web parity Current tech stack (Squarespace/WordPress, Google Workspace, analytics tools) indicates openness to digital transformation and optimization; there are opportunities to offer cybersecurity, workflow automation, and advanced analytics to improve procurement and IT operations.
