HaaS – Hardware as a Service

Due to the current economic climate, many businesses are concerned about cash flow, and therefore keeping hold of company cash is crucial.

When it comes to buying your businesses technology hardware the problem is cheap and cheerful might seem like a good idea at the time but in the long run, the ongoing costs for failures and repairs soon add up. So, it’s always good to know that there are options out there to buy higher quality products at an affordable rate when you need them.

Which is why AURES UK has introduced a model called HaaS – Hardware As A Service. HaaS provides you with the supply, delivery, install, maintenance and uplift of your technology hardware over a 3- or 5-year period. It offers the peace of mind and gives access to the best quality products at an affordable monthly cost through a simple agreement. It also ensures a fixed Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over the lifetime of the terminals, which generally makes things easier than ever before. Hardware that not only looks the part but will also stand the test of time is now at your fingertips with no hassle!

Technology hardware, whether that be a single standalone EPOS system, a suite of self-service kiosks or all your individual peripherals are now available with 3- and 5-year simple agreement.

So how does it work?

1- Customer discusses HaaS options for Hardware and Support from AURES.
2- CUSTOMER agrees monthly or quarterly payment terms with FINANCE Co.
3- HaaS agreement finalised and signed from both the Customer and AURES.
4- AURES deliver and install all hardware to the CUSTOMER.
5- AURES maintains the hardware for the 3/5 year term.
6- Term ends. Refresh the hardware and start new agreement.

Financing technology hardware in this way is a quick and easy way for businesses to keep hold of capital, without any operational holdups!
