An awkward word but one that means using a business model that charges a customer for the service provided by products instead of selling them the products. The sale of consumables is sometimes a more profitable business than the sale of the product (printers, washing machines, cars) and there are opportunities to extend this. Facilities Management contractors have proved the model in some areas, and others are looking to imitate and improve on these business models.
Oakdene Hollins can advise on the prospects of success, especially where the model is based on the use of remanufacturing as a key element of the design and lease approach. Clients in this area of work expect a high level of contractual confidentiality from us. |
