Just In Time
It’s easy to think of Just In Time (JIT) as only being for brand new hardware.
EVCO are also helping customers manage their hardware lifecycle by preparing and storing existing equipment from previous users in our warehouse for just in time deployment. This ensures that when an end user needs a replacement, the device is ready to go without delay, reducing disruption and downtime.
This approach provides significant value beyond convenience. It allows us to extend the lifetime of existing hardware by holding devices that may not be new but are still fully functional.
By refurbishing and reusing these machines, we maximise the return on investment for customers and reduce unnecessary purchases. Staff receive the tools they need quickly, while businesses extract more value from their IT spend.
The cost of downtime makes this even more relevant.UK SMEs are estimated to lose £900 or more for every hour of system disruption. Having hardware on hand prevents unnecessary waiting while also avoiding the hidden costs of underutilised assets. At the same time, extending device lifetimes supports sustainability goals by reducing e-waste and limiting the carbon footprint of constant upgrades.
It is a practical balance: immediate availability for users, extended value for businesses, and positive impact for the environment. This is how hardware lifecycle management should work.
