You've Heard of SaaS… What About HaaS?

Software-as-a-Service changed the way we sell and buy software — monthly subscriptions, automatic updates, and no big upfront costs. So why should hardware be any different?

With Hardware as a Service (HaaS), you can offer your customers everything they need — laptops, servers, installation, support, and even software renewals — all bundled into a fixed monthly payment. No hefty capital spend, no outdated kit.

The HaaS Advantage: Refresh Every 3 Years

 

A 3-year IT refresh plan means your customer never falls behind. Every 36 months, their tech is automatically upgraded. No awkward conversations about expired warranties or creaking systems.

It’s not just a smart move for your customer — it’s a game-changer for your Sales team.

Why Customers Love HaaS

  

Always Up to Date
Say goodbye to sluggish performance and security risks. Your customers stay current without lifting a finger.

No Upfront Costs
Fixed monthly payments make budgeting easier and approval faster. “No budget?” isn’t a blocker anymore.

Everything in One Plan
Hardware, installation, support, and software renewals — all rolled into one predictable monthly bill.

Simple, Fixed-Term Rentals
Offer a full refresh every 3 years and help finance teams manage assets more efficiently.

Turn Renewals into Opex
Annual costs like software licenses become part of a monthly operating expense — easier to justify and renew.

✅ Include Installation, Maintenance & Upgrades
Hardware alone isn’t enough—your customers also need setup, migration, and ongoing support. Instead of hitting them with large invoices later, bundle these costs into their monthly plan. 

Hardware as a Service
A Quick Example:

A customer needs to upgrade their Laptops to be compatible with the new Windows update. They also need to pay for your consultancy cost and want to pay the £18k balance over 12 months:


Finance Balance: £18,000.00
Monthly Payment: £1,671.30
Tax Relief: £3,810.56
Net Cost: £16,245.04

Why You’ll Love It Even More

  

💸 Faster Sales Cycles
No CapEx = fewer objections = quicker sign-off.

🔁 Repeatable Revenue
Customers commit to a 3-year plan, then refresh and renew. That’s your retention strategy sorted.

📈 Upsell Opportunities
Bundle in more services — installation, support, even training — all as part of the HaaS offer.

🔧 Add Value, Not Just Hardware
You’re not just selling boxes. You’re delivering an always-on solution customers rely on.

Our monthlii pricing tool lets you offer instant monthly quotes — right from your website or CRM. No back-and-forth. Just plug it in and start quoting. It’s that easy.
