One of the main reasons Xerox multifunction printers are able to set themselves apart from the competition is because of their extensibility—that is to say, the degree to which the “stock” hardware can be extended to perform new tasks. These machines are truly able to be customized to the owner’s exact specifications. In fact, this level of customization is available to a degree that many owners feel as though their MFPs have been “custom built” for their business needs specifically.
This is thanks in large part to the Xerox App Gallery, a large repository of software available for ConnectKey enabled Xerox devices. These apps help you customize your unit to work the way you need it to, with options ranging from integration with your preferred accounting software to your customer relationship management (CRM) platform of choice… and so much more.
In today’s post, we’ll be taking a brief look at three apps from the Xerox App Gallery that many businesses are using with great success. If you’re ready to put the “multifunction” in multifunction printer, read on.
#1 – QuickBooks Online Makes Expense Reports Easier Than Ever
QuickBooks Online is a very popular accounting software used by businesses around the world. However, one common activity that takes longer than it should is filing expense reports—the old way, employees would usually have to scan or copy receipts and deliver them to the accounting department. Needless to say, things can get messy quickly.
The QuickBooks Online app speeds up this process dramatically: for starters, multiple receipts can be scanned at the same time. The data from the receipts is then pulled and formatted into an easily read summary expense report. The report can then be automatically sent to the proper recipient after creation, completely cutting out the need for any additional steps to be taken.
#2 – Communicating in Over 40 Languages With The Xerox Easy Translator Service
More than “just” an app, this suite of translation services allows for users to have any document translated into one of over 40 languages. The document can be digital, of course, but hard-copy documents can be scanned as well, enabling users to print out a translated copy right at the multifunction device.
Furthermore, The Xerox Easy Translator Service has two options for translation: express and professional. Express translations are machine translations, meaning that a software program will automatically (and instantly) translate the document. For jobs where accuracy isn’t as important as speed, this is a fantastic option.
However, for documents that need to be translated with a high degree of accuracy, the professional translation option will have a real human translator work on the document. It takes a bit longer, of course, but the accuracy is at a professional level.

#3 – Salesforce CRM App
Businesses using the hugely popular Salesforce customer relationship management platform Salesforce will be pleased to know that it can integrate seamlessly with their Xerox multifunction printer.
This app allows users to access their Salesforce data right from the device, making it much faster and easier to upload, share, or even print out information. Documents that get scanned can be set to go automatically to the correct client folder, cutting back on time spent organizing the files later.
