For healthcare, this could consist of, infusion pumps, Ultrasounds, X-Ray machines, MRI machines, PET/CT scanners, robotic surgical machines etc. Lastly, for industrial assets, this could include forklift trucks, AGV’s, robotic systems, cobots etc.

Asset Finance Explained

Asset finance is a simple and popular way for any business to access the resources needed for every day operations, without putting a strain on cash flow. Plus, some businesses may use asset finance to make capital available for something like a business loan.

Simply put, asset finance allows a business to fund technology and equipment without having to pay a huge upfront cost and then continue to sink money into updating the technology in-house. Check out our blog post for an asset finance deep-dive.

Independence

We are completely independent of manufacturers and banks, meaning we can provide our customers with a technology service that comes with individual and neutral advice. We support our customers in implementing their project with an external view and can therefore offer a non-bias opinion on the appropriate hardware or software asset finance solution. 

Sustainability

We wanted to do more than just provide basic asset finance solutions in our quest for a carbon-neutral world. That’s why we developed our own carbon-neutral asset financing solution, carbonZER0.

Innovation: tesma

tesma is our in-house software designed to assist you in managing your technology assets throughout their lifecycle. However, tesma is so much more than just a reporting and contract management tool. With the development of the tesma Portal, we now provide our customers with an IT self-service portal that allows your employees to order their own devices and accessories, report issues and much more.

International reach

We operate on a truly global scale. Our reach spans 30 countries around the world, allowing us to deliver technology services and technology finance solutions across multiple geographies and sites. 

Flexibility

We offer a variety of technology services and financial packages for your IT, software, healthcare or industrial assets. We work with our customers to find the perfect financial solution for their budget and desired equipment type. 

Minimise Risk

Technology financial solutions can take the risk associated with depreciating assets, disposal costs, and broken/lost equipment away from you, and place them on the asset finance providers. As part of our technology service, we can do all this and also provide a buffer stock scheme to ensure that an instant replacement device is available if one breaks or goes missing.

Win the war for talent

A technology finance solution can ensure that the devices your team use are always up-to-date and seen as cutting edge. Help retain your current employees by giving them the right tools for the job while also attracting the best talent possible with our technology financial solutions.

Independence

We are a technology service and finance company that is completely independent, as we are not owned by any manufacturers or banks. Therefore we can provide you with unbiased advice and ensure you remain in complete control. Furthermore, you also benefit from having the freedom of choice to combine multiple manufacturers within your technology estate.
