Benefits Of A Laptop Subscription Service For Your Start-Up
In our wireless, fast-paced world, laptops are becoming a necessity for work, especially as more companies in Singapore shift to a hybrid working model. As an entrepreneur, you will want to equip your employees with the latest, high-quality devices. However, laptops are a considerable expense, particularly for a start-up. Additionally, as technology advances, these devices become obsolete after a few years, leading to a depreciation in their value.
So how can you circumvent these issues to keep your expenses down? The answer lies in hardware subscription! With ITEZ.SG’s laptop subscription service, you can access the most up-to-date laptops while keeping your costs low. Continue reading to learn why you should opt for a subscription model instead of a one-time costly purchase.
Benefit #1: Lower cost of entry for new businesses
Purchasing laptops for multiple employees is expensive. That is the kind of capital many start-ups do not have. And entrepreneurs must also factor in the costs of buying peripheries like a wireless mouse. These expenses can quickly add up before your business has begun to make a profit.
With our hardware subscription model, getting affordable laptops with the latest technology is no longer a pipe dream! We offer a comprehensive selection of flexible plans that accommodate your business needs. We even provide hardware and software add-on services. Examples include accessories like a wireless mouse and HD webcam or programmes such as the latest Microsoft Office software.
Moreover, you can constantly stay in-trend without worrying about shelling out additional money to purchase new equipment. Subscription services, like ITEZ.SG, allow you to return your old gadgets and upgrade them to brand new devices whenever you renew your plan, which saves you the time and hassle of sourcing and buying suitable laptops to replace your obsolete devices.
Benefit #2: Access to the latest technology
Time is money. Having to wait a few minutes for your laptop to boot up or spending time searching for the most stable wi-fi connection is no longer acceptable in our fast-paced world. This is why high-functioning laptops are required for seamless business operations that empower you and your employees to stay at the top of your game.
By subscribing to our hardware subscription model, you can access the latest technology at an affordable cost, thereby resolving any software compatibility issues you may encounter with older laptop models. When your current laptops become obsolete, you can simply upgrade to a better model at the end of your current subscription period. As such, there is a lower commitment to these devices.
Benefit #3: Free up storage space in your office
Business owners often overlook the storage space required to store all their office equipment. While your employees are responsible for safekeeping their provided laptops, you will still need a place to store any spare devices you are keeping on hand for a corporate event or trade conference. And this is not even factoring in the space to store your older gadgets when it is time to upgrade your employees’ devices.
Fortunately, these issues are eliminated with a hardware subscription model! You only subscribe to the necessary amount your business requires. Hence, you need not concern yourself with finding sufficient space to store every piece of equipment you have on hand. This also means you save on overhead costs, allowing you to direct your finances to more crucial ventures to expand your business.
Benefit #4: Reduce your manpower cost
In this day and age, it is essential for a business to have dedicated IT helpdesk personnel to handle any device malfunction or repair. After all, almost every aspect of one’s business revolves around technology. If a defect or failure were to occur, you will likely find your business continuity severely compromised.
However, given the limited funds you are working with as a start-up, it would be immoderate to hire an IT professional on a monthly salary to upkeep all your devices unless your business specialises in technology. So what happens if one of your employee’s laptops breaks down? Replacing it with a new device will take time and money - valuable resources that you cannot spare.
Fortunately, when you opt for a hardware subscription service, you can cross ‘hiring an IT professional’ off your to-do list. This is because all aspects of device maintenance are generally overseen by the service provider. Should your employees encounter any issue while operating their laptops, you can simply send the device for servicing.
Some service providers, including ITEZ.SG, offer replacement devices upon request during maintenance (subject to availability). This way, you save on time and money, as your employees receive a replacement to continue their work without you having to shell out a princely sum to secure a new laptop.
In an ever-changing and increasingly globalised world, the old working model, with its immovable and fixed assets is becoming less viable. Instead, a more flexible and affordable model with the ability to scale to meet business needs is required. This is where a laptop subscription service comes into the picture.
