In ‘Servitization’, manufacturers do not just sell equipment outright. Instead, they offer alternative, more sophisticated usage-based options, which can be delivered on a ‘just-in-time’ basis along with maintenance and service packages to keep the equipment running to optimum levels and supported by the latest in digital information feedback. The end user customer gets the service they want, using the equipment to the most efficient levels at the moment(s) that they need it, but without the many of the obligations and costs associated with outright ownership.

But for all this to happen, DLL must help our vendor partners deliver this new service-based model to their customers. In the past year, we have seen the rise of this kind of model, unlocking new efficiency and business opportunities for our partners. As a company that offers flexible leasing and financing solutions, DLL is making every effort to help our partner’s transition to these new practices. We can create the type of financial solutions that will enable their end user customers to pay for equipment as they use it, while the manufacturer remains responsible for its ongoing service and maintenance.
