What your teams experience

Do any of these feel familiar?

Hardware renewal is often expensive, slow and environmentally poor. There is a better way.

💸

The hardware renewal quote is painful

30 workstations to renew = €45,000 to €75,000 in new hardware. The budget is blown before configuration even starts. And it will happen again in 4 years.

⏳

The new hire arrives — their workstation arrives 3 weeks later

Order, wait for delivery, install software, configure access. The employee is truly productive after 10 days.

🌡️

Buying new hardware weighs on the carbon footprint

A new computer carries 80% of its environmental impact at manufacturing — but ageing workstations slow teams down.

🗑️

End-of-life for the current fleet? We'll deal with it later

Old machines pile up. Data not wiped, no traceability. The DPO and CISO have noted the risk.

📋

REEN and ESG reporting require documented evidence

The public body or large enterprise must document its responsible IT actions. Untraced refurbished purchases provide no evidence.

🔧

Isn't refurbished hardware second-class?

Refurbished is good for the environment — but if it arrives scratched and breaks down within a year, what's the point?

Before / after

How it plays out in practice

A 50-person SMB needs to renew 20 workstations. Available budget: €30,000. New hardware covers 18 machines plus a week of manual deployment.

20 Grade A workstations delivered pre-configured: €18,000 to €24,000. Budget remains for training and spare hardware. Deployment: zero additional IT working days.

A mid-size company onboards 8 employees per month. Lead time from order to effective handover: 3 to 4 weeks. IT cost per onboarding: high.

Kollaborateur workstations arrive pre-configured within days. The employee is productive from the first morning. Zero IT intervention on day one.

A local authority subject to the REEN digital sobriety regulation must document its responsible IT actions in its annual report. Untraced new hardware purchases provide no evidence.

Each Kollaborateur workstation is delivered with its ITAD certificate and traceability report. The carbon footprint is calculated automatically.
