Office Max Success Story

OfficeMax, Inc. generates over $8 billion in sales with a sprawling enterprise that spans 40,000 associates, almost 1,000 superstores, 25,000 products and a range of business services for individuals and companies large and small. To optimize the relevance, timeliness and quality of the company’s technology products and services, OfficeMax partners with HiWired to drive its remotely-delivered ctrlcenter services brand.

OfficeMax uses the HiWired Personalized Marketing Platform to increase customer touch points. It achieves this by giving ctrlcenter customers desktop access to ongoing customized messaging and remotely-delivered services ranging from wireless network set up to unlimited help desk access subscriptions. HiWired enabled OfficeMax to launch its scalable, national ctrlcenter brand within 90 days of partnering.

Says OfficeMax Executive Vice President of Marketing and Chief Merchandising Officer, Ryan Vero: “OfficeMax is very customer-centric, and we take great care to ensure that new products and services outperform customers’ current options. As a recognized leader in remote access technology, HiWired will allow OfficeMax to deliver a fast and affordable alternative to the current on-site tech support model .”
