How does tablet rental work?

Buying the newest tablets and equipping them with the right productivity apps and business-specific tools is expensive. Upgrading these devices once new models are released, means that these high payouts are regular. Renting your tablets and devices, however, keeps costs in check. The tablet rental service offered by Everphone should not be confused with tablet leasing. Device leasing companies may lease you the latest tablets, with the option of buying them outright at the end of the lease, but as soon as problems arise and repairs are needed, you are often expected to foot the bill. Ongoing charges are also likely to be higher because your lease must cover the value of the devices you’re using. Tablet rental works slightly differently. If you rent your devices, you pay a set service cost that includes all replacements, repairs, and distribution. As we maintain ownership of the devices, those responsibilities stay with us. This also gives you the option of upgrading your devices as new models are released without paying the full cost of buying an entirely new set of devices.

Should I buy or rent company tablets?

As we have just briefly touched on, renting tablets offers you a range of benefits that you simply cannot experience when buying. For businesses that don’t want to get bogged down with out-of-date devices within a few years, renting is the only viable solution unless you have money to burn. But, updated tech and/or software are not the only benefits to renting your devices.

Where can I borrow tablets?

The notion of device-as-a-service isn’t very common, so your options for renting your tablets and other devices are limited. At Everphone, we guide you through the nuances of the process from the very first enquiry, demonstrating how the logistics chain works and at what point your IT team and procurement team will be involved. However, we pride ourselves on how thoroughly we manage the rental process for you. Once the initial tablet choices have been made, we handle distribution directly with your employees. Your IT team simply monitors the process via our online portal. It is for this reason that renting your tablets from us is not considered just a ‘product,’ it is a full service.
