Faced with these problems, new solutions are emerging, such as Device-as-a-Service (DaaS). This new way of managing its IT equipment is increasingly popular with companies. They turn to start-ups like Fleet, which offers IT leasing.
Device-as-a-Service responds to current uses
The usage economy, which consists of buying the functionalities of a good rather than the object itself, is gradually becoming more democratic. Car leasing, music rental on platforms like Spotify or Deezer, two-wheeler subscriptions like Vélib’… So many elements that now form a new mode of consumption, which aligns with the values associated with sustainable development. . On a similar principle, there is Device-as-a-Service. This mode of operation allows companies to lease IT equipment through a monthly subscription.
For an organization, Device-as-a-Service is a solution offering access to high-end and recent computers and including a device maintenance service. These are regularly renewed so that each employee can always be efficient.
DaaS differs from traditional IT leasing, which does not provide any additional service and whose access conditions can be complex, especially for start-ups and SMEs. DaaS allows him to benefit from services that simplify computer management. They include, for example, the acquisition of devices in a few clicks or SaaS software for fleet management. Companies are then freed from multiple constraints and problems, such as the costs linked to changes in IT fleet, while optimizing their cash flow in relation to the purchase. They can thus invest in their growth and focus on their activity.
Renting business computers via DaaS is revolutionizing the way organizations equip themselves. It also allows you to participate in a more responsible IT policy, because some DaaS partners also offer refurbished computers or the management of the second life of devices, allowing you to reduce your carbon footprint.
To take advantage of these advantages, however, it is necessary to opt for a solution that replaces the expensive traditional purchase or the complex IT leasing, as offered by Fleet. Created in 2019, the start-up specializing in Device-as-a-Service simplifies the equipment, management and renewal of IT equipment for organizations thanks to a complete subscription. In less than three years, its platform has won over more than 500 companies.
Simplified management of your computer fleet
It must be said that the concept of Fleet quickly seduced. The start-up offers a complete subscription including high-end computers on lease, responsive customer service, but also a fleet management platform. The latter makes it possible, for example, to follow the delivery and allocation of equipment, to report a problem on a computer and to order a new one quickly if necessary. In a few clicks, a company can choose from the Fleet catalog, allowing it to choose the equipment that best meets the needs of its employees, especially newcomers.
The simple fleet management platform offers the possibility of tracking and managing the receipt of materials in an increasingly hybrid work organization, in the office or on the employees’ premises. This was particularly the case for Cubyn, a delivery startup for e-merchants. The company, which operates in a hybrid and international work environment, was able to easily equip its new employees.
” With Fleet, IT onboarding is much more fluid, even remotely, and our employees are always well equipped over the long term. “, explains Adrien Fernandez Baca, CEO of the scale-up Cubyn. “ On average, we save 2 to 3 days per month of Office Management in the management of our fleet, everything is faster and more fluid thanks to the Cockpit, the Fleet equipment management platform, and dedicated support “, he adds.
Equip your employees well without immobilizing your cash flow
Fleet’s offer allows any company to benefit from state-of-the-art computers. This is a real necessity, especially when you know that computer problems can waste up to 30 minutes per day per employee according to a study by Easy Panel. This equates to 109 hours per year, representing more than two lost work weeks each year.
In this sense, good computer equipment is essential for the proper functioning of an organization. Otherwise, teams lose productivity and it becomes difficult to retain them. Providing quality equipment, adapted to the missions of each one, is a constituent element of the well-being of the employees.
Thanks to Device-as-a-Service, it is possible to offer them high-performance equipment such as Acer Chromebooks while preserving its cash flow. According to a study by Cabinet Gartner Group, 3000 € of annual expenses are generated by a computer purchased for less than 1000 €, including breakdowns and repairs. With Fleet, a company can obtain a state-of-the-art computer at an affordable price, without having to pay any down payment and at a fixed monthly price.
It is for this reason that Kymono, a company offering personalized clothing to professionals, has opted for this solution. ” With Fleet, we have happy employees because we have a team that is happy to work on great products. We have a happy financial director since the cash flow is not significantly impacted at a given time: it’s simple and effective “, explains Olivier Ramel, co-founder and CEO of Kymono.
