The choice to rent or buy technology equipment lies with a person or their business. The decision is often based on cost and utilisation. Some of the most common reasons why customers hire equipment from us are:
Exhibitions and events
TVs, touch screens, audio, printers etc. Quite a lot of kit is needed to make a statement at an event. A stand is in competition for footfall with all of those others around it and it needs to make an impact.
Training courses
Training staff on new software or new releases of existing software like Microsoft, is quite a drain for employers with a large workforce. They need space and they need computer terminals unless they choose to do remote training, which is often not as effective.
IT infrastructure upgrades and visualisations
Minimise disruption and downtime with short-term rental to mirror IT environments while maintenance or upgrading is taking place.
Cashflow
Equipment is needed now, but the cash isn’t available to make an outright purchase.
Pragmatic financial accounting
Equipment rental is not a capital expenditure and so is not subject to depreciation charges, further preserving cashflow.
Seasonal fluctuations
Where demand is seasonal e.g. at Christmas it makes sense to hire equipment and then return it once demand has fallen back to ‘usual’ levels.
A one-off activity
A major celebration, product launch, annual meeting. Any bespoke event where it would not be viable to have all of the equipment available from an existing inventory.
Disaster recovery
Hopefully an event such as this will not occur, but plan for worst and hope for the best. Customers do have arrangements in place for the quick delivery and installation of kit where an ‘act of God’ or similar event occurs.
