Oxbow — office technology and business phone system supplier in Cape Town
Oxbow is a Cape Town office technology company based in Century City, and it is worth being clear about what that means: printers and multifunction devices are the core business, with an Oxbow Telecoms division selling phone systems alongside. It carries 4.4 out of 5 from 178 Google reviews, one of the larger review counts in this directory, and most of that feedback is about print leasing and support rather than telephony.
Key facts
| Who they are | A Cape Town office technology supplier describing itself as a partner in office technology solutions, with printers and multifunction devices as the core trade and a telecoms division alongside |
| Voice services | Sold through an Oxbow Telecoms division covering telephone systems. This is one line of business among many rather than the company’s specialism, and the listing says so plainly — if voice is your only requirement, weigh a dedicated provider against it |
| Print and office technology | The main business: printer sales, support and leasing across a standard and a production range, with Ricoh, Xerox, Olivetti and Riso as the named brands. Its Google category is literally printing equipment supplier |
| Also offers | CCTV and security, solar and inverter solutions, video conferencing, IT services, computer sales and office supplies. A genuine single-supplier proposition if you would rather hold one account than six |
| Head office | Century Gate, 1B Summer Greens Drive, Century City, 7441, Cape Town. The Google Business Profile gives the same Century Gate business park as Block 01 |
| Pricing | Quote-based. No figures are published for phone systems, printers or leases |
| Founded | Not publicly stated. No founding year appears on the site |
| ICASA licence | No ICASA reference is published. For a supplier whose telecoms work is one division of several, establish whether Oxbow or an underlying carrier holds the licence covering your voice service |
| Customer rating | 4.4 out of 5 from 178 Google reviews, sampled 30 Jul 2026. Read them with the business mix in mind: the volume is real and largely positive, but the reviews mostly describe printer leasing and print support rather than phone systems |

A print house with a telecoms division
There is a real argument for buying your phones from the company that already services your printers, and an equally real argument against it. In favour: one account, one support number, one relationship, and if a supplier has kept 178 customers happy enough to leave a 4.4 average on print and leasing, that service culture usually travels. Against: telephony is not what Oxbow is known for, its own Google category is printing equipment supplier, and a dedicated voice provider will have deeper bench strength when something unusual breaks in your call routing. The sensible way through is to decide how complex your voice requirement actually is. A dozen extensions and a hunt group in one Cape Town office is well within the reach of a competent office technology supplier. A multi-site contact centre with CRM integration is not the same conversation. Ask specifically who supports the phone system, whether that is Oxbow staff or a subcontracted partner, and what the response commitment is when the phones are the thing that has stopped. Compare dedicated providers in the phone system directory.
Who Oxbow is a fit for
- Cape Town businesses that already use Oxbow for print and want one supplier
- Straightforward single-site phone system requirements rather than complex routing
- Companies consolidating print, phones, CCTV and IT onto one account

Say how many extensions and sites you need and how complex the call routing is, because that is what decides whether an office technology supplier or a dedicated voice provider fits better. Ask who actually supports the phone system, Oxbow staff or a partner, and what the response time is when the phones go down rather than the printer.
