Equipment as a service is a rapidly growing business model in the industrial sector. This market could reach 130 billion euros by 2025. Are you wondering whether this could be an interesting solution for your company? This business model offers many advantages as it allows equipment suppliers to still be the owners of a leased asset while providing additional services such as maintenance or insurance.
In this article, we would like to introduce you to our partner Solfiz, a specialist in equipment as a service. We will talk about its definition and the advantages of this solution.
Equipment as a service, also called EaaS, is a growing business model. It is growing by 35% per year and is expected to reach 130 billion euros by 2025. It is part of the circular economy (eco-design, recycling, repair, etc.) and represents a real growth opportunity for companies.
EaaS is set up in the form of a service contract between a supplier, who offers his production, and a customer. It allows the suppliers of the goods to continue to own them while receiving periodic payments from their customers. In addition to regular income (rent), equipment suppliers can offer additional services in their contract such as consulting, maintenance, etc.
Equipment as a service is therefore a global offer with a product at the centre and various services that revolve around it.
Use is now more important than ownership.
First of all, equipment evolves very quickly, maintenance must be carried out by experts, the market demands flexibility and costs must be controlled.
Technological advances, particularly in electronics, make it possible to put in place a specific offer for the customer depending on the equipment rented. This also makes it possible to carry out precise monitoring of the equipment in the form of tracing and remote data recording, for example.
There are two major models for setting up facilities as services:
There are several advantages to implementing an EaaS solution. Firstly, the generation of new revenues from added services. Secondly, it allows new innovations to be placed and tested on the market without risk and at a lower cost to the end customer.
