Equipment-as-a-Service (EASE®) provides organizations with cost-effective access to state-of-the-art equipment on terms that match their circumstances and business needs.

 

Enabling customers to seize opportunities


Seizing opportunities for growth typically requires a variety of resources, and equipment – new or additional – is one of them.

Equipment-as-a-Service (EASE®) provides organizations with cost-effective access to state-of-the-art equipment on terms that match their circumstances and business needs.

Through its unique pay-per-use model, EASE® enables customers to obtain equipment on terms that match their circumstances and without having to tap into equity and/or credit. As a result, more organisations can access equipment that is critical to the quality of their service and the growth of their activities.

 

Unique model that breaks down barriers to entry and accelerates growth


By using the cash flows generated through the use of the equipment itself, EASE® ’s unique pay-per-use model enables equipment cost to be recorded as operating expenditure (OPEX) rather than capital expenditure (CAPEX). No funding or collateral is required, and organisations can typically pay in their local currency.


EASE® addresses new, latent and replacement demand for equipment, providing a commercially sustainable alternative for organisations looking to optimise resources or avoid costly financing alternatives.

By reducing CAPEX, EASE® allows its customers to free up financial resources, which can be used to grow operations, bring on additional labour or invest in other assets.

 
 

Pay for use vs total cost of ownership, reliability and longevity


Organisations often focus on the upfront investment in equipment and focus less on the ongoing costs, including cost of capital, financing costs, depreciation, and operating and maintenance costs associated with the continuous use of high-end equipment.

The EASE® pay-per-use model includes maintenance, operator training and ongoing support, which is not only more cost-effective than alternatives but also ensures service reliability, equipment longevity and optimal utilisation.

Environment

By investing in state-of-the-art equipment, with best-in-class power consumption and yields, and by pairing equipment where needed with green sources of (back-up) power, EASE® provides an alternative to "cheap and dirty" equipment and contributes to "cleaning up" an often highly pollutive installed base.

Healthcare, Digitalization & Food Security


EASE® improves access to quality healthcare services – improving overall health outcomes – by making readily available the latest state-of-the-art medical infrastructure. EASE® also contributes to (Africa’s) digitalization by removing capital barriers to ICT infrastructure, whilst its application in the agricultural sector delivers food security and an export-driven source of foreign currency.
