The right print technology keeps your business moving

Consensus provides office automation solutions across South Africa, matching businesses with the right print and document technology for how they actually work. In today’s office, printing is only part of the picture. Modern multifunction devices serve as the central nervous system of your document workflow – scanning, copying, emailing, archiving and printing from a single unit that sits at the heart of your operation.

At Consensus, we’ve been supplying and supporting office print technology across the North West for over 30 years. We work with businesses of all sizes to match the right device to the right environment – and back every installation with local, on-site support from technicians who know your setup.

Whether you’re replacing an ageing fleet, setting up a new office, or looking to reduce your print costs without sacrificing output quality, we’ll help you find a solution that fits.

More than a printer - a smarter way to manage documents

Today’s multifunction devices go far beyond putting ink on paper. The right MFP streamlines how your team captures, shares and stores information – cutting unnecessary steps, reducing waste and keeping your document workflows running smoothly from day to day.

From paper to digital in a single step

The shift away from paper-heavy processes is one of the most impactful changes a business can make. Today's multifunction printers (MFPs) make that transition straightforward — allowing your team to scan hard copy documents directly into Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems, shared drives or email, without any additional software or manual steps.

Built for efficiency, designed to save costs

Rising energy costs and tighter budgets mean every device in your office needs to earn its place. Our MFP range includes energy-efficient models with features like duplex (double-sided) printing, sleep modes, and toner-saving settings that reduce both your environmental footprint and your monthly running costs — without slowing down your output.

Scanning-first workflows for modern businesses

Many organisations today process more scans than printed pages. From invoices and contracts to HR records and client documents, reliable, high-speed scanning has become a core business requirement. We supply devices specifically configured for scan-heavy environments, ensuring your team can capture, name and file documents quickly and accurately.

No two offices are the same, which is why we offer a broad selection of devices across multiple categories – from compact desktop printers for small teams to high-volume commercial systems for production environments.
