Efficient device management for a fast-growing food startup

Challenge

KoRo is the leading online provider of high-quality food in bulk packs. Since its foundation in 2014, KoRo has been growing rapidly: over 2 million customers, over 500 employees, over 10,000 retail locations and 17 markets. With such growth, it is a huge challenge to efficiently equip the scaling team with IT hardware such as laptops (MacBooks, Lenovo ThinkPads) and smartphones (iPhones). Especially if high acquisition costs are to be avoided and operational expenditure minimized.

The solution with Lendis

In Lendis, KoRo has found the ideal partner to optimize the procurement and management of the required IT hardware. Thanks to the Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) model from Lendis, KoRo benefits from numerous advantages:

Not CapEx, but OpEx

Instead of high investment costs, KoRo pays low monthly rental rates. This protects cash flow and allows capital to be invested in the core business.

Complete service

Lendis handles the entire process for KoRo, including procurement, delivery, repairs and collections.

Favorable rental rates through multiple use

Lendis uses the residual values of the devices over several life cycles, which leads to particularly favorable rental conditions.

Insurance and support

With Lendis' integrated insurance, all devices are covered against damage. Lendis support is available to KoRo at all times to help quickly with any problems.

Sustainability

Thanks to Lendis' circular economy model, devices are refurbished and reused after the rental period expires. In addition, Lendis compensates for all CO₂ emissions, enabling KoRo to contribute to climate protection.

Result of the collaboration

Working with Lendis brings KoRo:

• Savings of €250,000 compared to purchasing the equipment, made possible by the rental model, as Lendis can leverage purchasing advantages and multiple rental cycles.
• 80% less time spent on HR and IT tasks thanks to Lendis Logistics Services.
• 3x faster onboarding of new employees, as the ordering process is significantly simplified.

Conclusion

The partnership with Lendis enables KoRo to meet the growing demands of a rapidly expanding company. The Device-as-a-Service model not only saves costs and time, but also increases the flexibility and satisfaction of employees. With Lendis, KoRo has found a reliable partner that efficiently manages the IT infrastructure and offers sustainable solutions at the same time.
