Operating expenses instead of capital expenditures
With Everphone, you shift the cost of your mobile devices from CAPEX to OPEX—making your IT budget more predictable.
Upfront investments are a showstopper
Equipping your team with powerful mobile hardware is expensive. Traditional device purchasing ties up IT budgets, creates rigid constraints, and introduces financial risks. As a result, many digitization projects stall or are postponed indefinitely.
High one-time costs limit IT budgets
Device purchases instantly reduce available IT funds. Key digital projects get delayed because capital is tied up in hardware and budgets cannot be approved.
Depreciation cycles hinder planning
Unexpected replacements and management costs
Repairs, replacement devices, and IT overhead can unexpectedly drive up TCOs. Budgets come under pressure; approvals and IT controlling become challenging.
With DaaS, device costs become operating expenses (Opex)
Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) shifts the cost of smartphones, tablets, and laptops to operating expenses. Your company only pays a fixed monthly rental fee—for a fully functioning device. If a device breaks, it’s replaced immediately—at no extra cost. Depending on your location, the Capex-to-Opex shift may even offer tax advantages.
Boost liquidity and free up IT budgets
With BARB (buy-and-rent-back), we’ve developed a smart solution to migrate your entire device fleet to DaaS in one stroke. Most of our customers rely on BARB—it immediately reduces workload for internal teams. Operating expenses (Opex spend per FTE) drop instantly, and liquidity is freed up. The shift to DaaS happens on paper: devices stay with the same users, who continue working as usual—now with all the benefits of DaaS. The freed-up budget can be redirected to projects that truly drive value.
Cost transparency and budget predictability with DaaS
With DaaS, you only pay for devices that are actually in use—employees who leave simply return their devices, and the rental ends. The fixed monthly rental rate already includes management, logistics, and replacement devices—making your device costs fully transparent. If employees want premium devices, they can opt into a voluntary co-payment model. The company’s base contribution remains the same for all rentals (“Choose-your-own-Device”). This model is highly popular with staff and is typically embraced by over half of all employees.
Reduce cost pressure—this is how it works
In the following real-life examples, you’ll see how DaaS creates cost transparency and drives savings in device procurement and management for other companies.
