Device as a Service to drive business efficiency
What is it?
DaaS is a simple leasing and managed service for phones and tablets. We handle everything from procurement to secure, sustainable retirement, so employees stay equipped with the latest secure devices while IT time and CapEx are freed up.
Who is it for?
Ideal for growing businesses with 10+ employees that need secure, reliable connectivity to support multiple locations, a mobile and expanding workforce, and increasingly complex IT needs.
Why do I need it?
Eliminate device management headaches with flexible, hassle-free leasing. Equip your team with the latest phones and tablets while replacing upfront costs with predictable monthly payments, freeing IT resources and capital for strategic priorities.
How does Device as a Service work?
Choose
Choose your device from top brands like Apple, Google, and Samsung. Pick a 12, 24, or 36‑month lease based on your needs, add eSIMs and enrolment software, and we’ll deliver where you need them.
Use
Devices are delivered ready to go and managed through a digital self‑service platform. IT and users get full visibility, easy support, managed services, and fast repair or replacement, keeping productivity high and complexity low.
Return
At the end of the lease, we’ll retrieve the devices for you. All data is securely wiped and devices are refurbished and reused or responsibly recycled -supporting your sustainability goals.
Features of device leasing
Leasing vs buying

|---|---|---|
Financial model | CapEx – upfront capital expenditure for asset purchase | OpEx – predictable monthly payments; no large upfront cost |
Device refresh cycles | Businesses often delay refresh (3–5+ years) to save budget, leading to ageing device fleets | Refresh at the end of each lease, ensuring up to date devices |
Support & Maintenance | Internal IT handles repairs, replacements, and logistics | Includes repair, replacement and logistics |
End of life management | Responsible for disposal, data wiping, recycling compliance | Vodafone handles end of life management |
Device ownership | Full ownership from day one | No ownership-devices returned at the end of the lease |
