Ideal for
  • Companies with 50+ employees that regularly onboard new staff
  • IT departments that want a single partner for the whole fleet
  • Smartphone fleets for field staff
  • Companies that want to bring in refurbished devices role by role

Device as a Service (DaaS) is our leasing offer for equipping your employees: laptops, smartphones and tablets, new or refurbished, delivered ready to use. Depending on the terms negotiated, the contract can also include maintenance and technical support, an option tailored to your needs rather than a standard service.

Not to be confused with Desktop as a Service, which refers to virtual desktops hosted in the cloud: our DaaS covers physical devices (the "D" stands for Device) that your teams use every day.

How it works

Instead of buying equipment and managing its life cycle in-house, your company pays a predictable monthly rent that covers provision, initial setup, updates and end-of-life management for each device. Contracts run from 24 to 60 months and adjust as your headcount grows or your needs change.

What the monthly rent covers

The monthly rent brings together several cost items that, when managed in-house, are often spread across different budgets and suppliers:

  • buying or renewing the equipment;
  • end-of-life logistics;
  • corrective maintenance and replacement in case of failure, if these options are chosen.

By grouping them into a single rent, DaaS simplifies IT budgeting and frees up time for internal teams, who no longer have to juggle several suppliers.

An integrated ecosystem

DaaS relies on the same ecosystem as our other offers: impact measurement with Colibris, devices refurbished by our partners Idem (computers) and Seensys (smartphones and tablets), remanufactured computers with Foxway, and revalorisation organised at the end of the contract.

Who is it for?

This formula is particularly suited to companies with more than 50 employees that regularly equip new staff, or that want to hand part of their IT management to a single partner. Transilien (SNCF) made this choice, equipping around 6,000 field agents with leased smartphones on 3-year contracts: two thirds of the fleet returned at the end of the cycle was in perfect condition (grade A), so it could be resold at a good price instead of being scrapped.

At the end of the contract

Depending on the terms of the contract, you keep or return the devices. Returned devices are collected, their data is erased with certification, and they are then refurbished for a second life.

Customer benefits

What it means for your organisation and your activities.

A smaller carbon footprint

  • Refurbished equipment wherever the use allows it, to extend device life.
  • New or refurbished is chosen role by role, so performance is never compromised where it matters.
  • A planned second life for returned devices.

A fleet that follows your headcount

  • Adjust the number of devices to your actual needs.
  • Add or return equipment during the contract.
  • Replace ageing equipment without renegotiating the whole contract.

Flexible support and maintenance

  • Maintenance and technical support available as options, defined in the contract to suit your needs.
  • Predictable costs, grouped into a single rent.
  • One point of contact for the whole fleet, instead of several suppliers to coordinate.

How it works

Three steps, from analysing your needs to monitoring your fleet.

Analysing your needs

  • Audit of existing equipment and personalised advice.
  • Budget assessment and tailor-made financing proposal.
  • Recommendation on the share of new and refurbished equipment for each job role.

Structuring the contract

  • Term of 24 to 60 months.
  • Conditions negotiated for your company.
  • Choice of brands and models from a catalogue compatible with your internal IT standards.

Management and support

  • Devices delivered set up and ready to use.
  • Simplified administration and a dedicated contact.
  • Fleet and impact monitoring with Colibris throughout the contract.

Frequently asked questions

What is DaaS?

Device as a Service is a formula for leasing IT equipment, new or refurbished, for a single monthly rent. Administration is always included; maintenance and technical support are options defined to suit your needs. How the rent is treated in your accounts depends on your accounting framework: your accountant can confirm it.

Is refurbished equipment reliable?

Yes. Our refurbished devices go through rigorous testing before delivery, and new or refurbished is chosen role by role depending on use.

What happens if a device has a problem?

Technical support and replacement in case of failure depend on the options chosen in your contract. If they are included, the device is repaired or replaced to limit downtime.

How does DaaS support sustainability?

DaaS is part of the circular economy: it uses refurbished equipment and manages devices at end of life. Returned devices are collected, wiped and refurbished for a second life, which reduces electronic waste.
