We appreciate your attention to these important changes. If you have any questions about these changes and how you are impacted, please contact your Zebra Sales Representative or send an email to ZebraBTOCom@zebra.com

Please review the following information, which provides a summary of the upcoming changes. For more detailed information about these changes, access the Guide referenced above. 

+ ORDERING CHANGES

Effective Monday, October 16, 2023, all new orders for Matrox Imaging products (hardware, software, and repair and software maintenance agreements) will be transacted through Zebra and no longer with Matrox. You will receive the Zebra Terms and Conditions of sale of products or services (as applicable) with your order acknowledgement(s) and such terms will govern your purchases of Matrox Imaging products.

  • This change means that you will have a new way to submit your orders for Matrox Imaging products.
  • For ordering, you will
    1. Submit your order by email to Zebra’s Order Experience Team, a team made up of regional order experience representatives. The new email addresses will be provided to you in September.

+ Important Information About Your Orders

  • Orders for software run-time license activation keys must include the lock code, as Zebra is not able to book an order without a lock code. When submitting your order by email, if you do not provide the lock code, the Order Experience Team will not be able to process your order.
  • A mix of Industrial Automation (IA) products, which includes Matrox Imaging, Zebra’s FIS/MV products, and Adaptive Vision (hardware, software, and services) can be on the same order, with the exception of Matrox Imaging software run-time license activation keys that are missing a lock code.
  • You may order IA products and other Zebra products (printers, supplies, or mobile computers, etc.) together on the same order, if you are eligible to purchase other Zebra products direct from Zebra.
  • To ensure a smooth transition, your current order support team will provide support to the Order Experience Team for a period of time.
  • Purchase orders (POs) must meet Zebra’s Bookable Order Criteria (BOC). Click the following links to see what information you need to include on your purchase orders for each type of order: Hardware Order BOC; Software Order BOC, and Maintenance Agreement (Service Contract) BOC.
