“This creates challenges through reduced control and high time consumption. Our Device as a Service solution means that we offer customers a complete service that simplifies and solves these challenges,” says Fredrik Spilsberg, Sales Manager at Foxway Sweden.”
We help our customers move from traditional linear consumption of IT equipment to a circular and user-based model. We manage the entire life cycle of the device, from purchase and financing to repair and reuse. This is done through Foxway’s digital platform, which means the company can offer customers both high data access and an increased level of control.
Financial benefits
– ” Our Device as a Service solution and digital platform can be integrated with customers’ systems. This means that user-facing devices are managed from one place, from ordering and servicing to replacing a device. It is also possible to predict how much each device and user costs, which gives organizations financial control,” says Fredrik Spilsberg.
Fredrik Spilsberg also highlights another key benefit of our Device as a Service solution from a macroeconomic perspective.
-” Having their devices as a subscription model also gives organizations more flexibility compared to buying devices. With our service, companies can easily scale up and down the number of devices, thereby customizing the level based on business needs. ”
Simpler management
A sprawling IT environment is another challenge that we see many organizations face. We have processes that both structure and optimize the IT environment through different standards.
– ” One of the unique features of our solution is that it doesn’t matter what kind of devices customers use or want to use. We help optimize and adapt all user-facing devices in the IT environment. Foxway also ensures that the equipment is taken care of responsibly and that all data on the devices is deleted upon return. This means that customers do not have to worry about data from used equipment falling into the wrong hands,” says Fredrik Spilsberg.
By reusing devices, companies significantly reduce their carbon emissions.
– ” Having old devices lying around is a security risk. When we take back the devices, we erase them according to industry standards and issue an erasure certificate. We then service the devices to give them a second, and sometimes a third life,” says Fredrik Spilsberg.
Meet environmental requirements
From 2024, larger companies will have to report how much carbon dioxide they consume (1).
– ” By reusing devices, companies significantly reduce their carbon emissions as the majority of emissions occur when a device is first produced. Through our circular services, we extend the lifespan and reduce the carbon footprint generated by IT equipment,” says Fredrik Spilsberg.
Mixing both used and new devices is a growing trend.
– ” The most concrete is the law introduced by France where 20% of IT equipment purchased by the public sector must be reused (2). We consider it highly likely that it is only a matter of time before more countries follow suit as there is a clear positive environmental impact of this initiative,” concludes Fredrik Spilsberg.
