Overview of MarketPlace

5 minute read Last updated on March 05, 2024

Welcome to MarketPlace - your central resource for cutting-edge applications specifically designed to optimize your productivity and quality of work. MarketPlace consists of two basic components:

  • The MarketPlace site - An online store and portal with a catalog of apps designed to maximize the capabilities of supported Konica Minolta MFPs (multi-function peripheral devices) and SFPs (single-function peripheral devices).

  • The MarketPlace Client - A free app you install onto the devices on which you want to run MarketPlace apps. The MarketPlace Client links the device to the MarketPlace site. You can then install your purchased apps onto your linked devices. The client adds the following to the device:

    • The MarketPlace icon, which appears on the device’s control panel and provides access to the MarketPlace Home page.

    • The MarketPlace Home page, where you can access the MarketPlace apps installed on the device.

    • The App Manager, a utility that device admins can use to manage the apps and licenses installed on the device.

Anyone can access the MarketPlace site, where you can learn about MarketPlace, browse the MarketPlace catalog, and create a MarketPlace account. Once you create a MarketPlace account, you can access other pages of the site where you can purchase products, monitor your MarketPlace devices, and manage your account.

Notes:

  • The performance of some MarketPlace apps may be subject to network and internet activity.

  • The availability of features may differ by platform.

Uses for the MarketPlace Site

On the MarketPlace site, you can:

  • Browse for, purchase, and install applications designed for use on MarketPlace devices. While similar to apps you may have on your mobile device, MarketPlace apps are designed to address your business needs and automate your daily workflows. Individual MarketPlace apps perform a variety of functions, including the following:

    • Monitor the security status of your device.

    • Display company announcements, for example a company meeting reminder.

    • Scan documents and upload them to popular cloud applications such as Box or Dropbox.

    • Print tutorials on how to perform common device operations.

    • Much more!

  • Create, install, and manage custom user interfaces (UIs) for your device. You can tailor your custom UIs to meet your business needs, adding controls to streamline your workflows and customizing them to match your company branding.

  • Remotely manage apps and licenses on a variety of devices, eliminating the need to visit each device to install or update your apps. MarketPlace’s Device Management features enable you to do it all remotely.

Take advantage of MarketPlace’s wide range of productivity offerings, powerful personalization features, and device management capabilities to move your business to the next level!
