Challenges

What schools and authorities know about device fleets.

No replacement devices

A broken iPad is immediately missing from the lesson. We minimise downtime — with loan devices where needed.

Tight budgets

With repair instead of replacement, schools save up to 80 % compared with buying new.

Parent communication takes time

Via a self-service portal, parents can handle their own repair themselves if they wish.

Individual repairs are hard to track

In their personal dashboard, schools keep an eye on every repair at all times.

Data protection

Pupil data must stay protected — during repair and disposal alike, GDPR-compliant.

Sustainability

Repairing instead of discarding avoids electronic waste and CO₂ — measurably (see the calculator).

Our solution

One partner for every one of these tasks.

Repair of large fleets

Whole class sets repaired reliably and by priority — quickly back in the lesson.

Bulk shipping or collection

Collect faulty devices in a transport box — bulk shipping or collection, whichever suits.

A fixed point of contact

One dedicated contact for your institution — instead of changing responsibilities.

Transparent costs

Clear prices, with framework agreements and fixed price lists on request.

Self-service portal

Schools and parents report damage themselves and see the status in the dashboard.

Purchase by invoice

Handling for public-sector clients and companies by invoice.

How it is handled

Claims handling that keeps schools’ backs free.

Associations & memberships

Connected in education and digitalisation.

Anyone equipping schools has to understand how education is procured, financed and run. That is why we are members of three associations where the education industry and the public sector meet.
