The CFO is reviewing a capital request for 400 Zebra scanners across a 200-store chain. It is the same request that was deferred last year. And the year before that. The reason most Canadian retailers cannot afford a device refresh is not that devices cost too much — it is that the way retailers buy […]
Read moreIt is the second week of October, and your IT team is fielding calls from 200 stores asking where their seasonal scanners are. Half the devices arrived unconfigured. The MDM enrolment failed on a third of them. Your repair vendor for the existing fleet has a two-week backlog—right as you are heading into the busiest […]

Read moreDaaS shifts your mobile technology spend from a capital expense (CapEx) to a predictable operational expense (OpEx). Instead of large upfront purchases for hardware, you pay a consistent monthly fee per device which includes the hardware, software, and managed lifecycle services, improving cash flow visibility.
Our DaaS program includes planned technology refresh cycles. We proactively manage the lifecycle of your fleet, ensuring you always have access to modern, secure hardware without the hassle of managing upgrades or disposing of obsolete equipment (which we handle securely).
The monthly subscription covers comprehensive support, including a Canadian-based help desk, remote device troubleshooting via MDM, and our "Spare-in-the-Air" replacement program to minimize downtime for your field workers.
Yes. We partner with leading manufacturers like Zebra, Honeywell, and Samsung. We assess your specific workflow requirements to recommend the exact form factor (handheld, tablet, wearable) that suits your operations.
Absolutely. DaaS offers the flexibility to scale your fleet based on seasonal demand or business growth. You can add devices during peak periods and return them when demand normalizes, paying only for what you use.
