Your demo devices do not have to belong to you to work for you. We build and finance your demo pool, and your sales team simply calls up the devices for each deployment. Loss in value and depreciation stay with us, not on your balance sheet.
In addition to transparent billing, CDS can also finance the devices themselves on request. This means we also take on the risk of loss in value and depreciation that would otherwise stand in the way of your own demo pool.
You avoid tying up capital from the outset and do not carry the devices on your balance sheet.
On request, we agree at the outset that CDS will take over your devices at the end of the term. This lets you factor in the residual value from the start.
As purchase and financing depend heavily on product group, condition and deployment period, we agree your terms individually with you.
Managing a demo pool ties up internal resources and generates costs in many places at once. CDS bundles these services into a clear pricing structure, so you always know what your demo pool costs.
Before a demo starts, you already know what it will cost: project management, logistics and technical services for your test and demo equipment are calculated in advance. This lets you keep track of your budget at all times and stay within it reliably.
The approval process lets you manage approvals in a structured and traceable way. You stay in control of which deployments and costs are triggered in your demo pool.
The budget report shows you current spending and the available budget of your demo pool at a glance. Our LIMES software maps the approval process and budget report digitally.
At the end of their use, purchased devices do not have to sit idle. CDS brings your demo equipment into structured reuse via a Europe-wide B2B reseller network.
You decide on the remarketing.
You can read how purchase, refurbishment and sales via the reseller network work in detail on our demo equipment remarketing page.
Demo pool financing means that an external service provider takes on the capital tied up in demo equipment. The manufacturer uses its demonstration devices for customer deployments, trade shows and roadshows without carrying the devices permanently on its own balance sheet. The purchase price depends on product group and deployment period. This makes the demo pool predictable, transparent and easy on the balance sheet.
On request, CDS purchases your demo equipment before or after its use in the demo pool, taking on the tied-up capital. Which model makes sense depends on your starting position and your balance sheet objectives. We agree the terms with you individually.
Both are possible. On request, CDS purchases your demo equipment before or after its use in the demo pool. Which model makes sense depends on your starting position and your balance sheet objectives.
The purchase price depends on product group and deployment period. There is no flat-rate price list, as these factors largely determine the value of a device.
The approval process and budget report let you keep track of approvals and spending at all times. Both functions are mapped and documented digitally in the LIMES software.
After the contract ends, the devices can be remarketed via the CDS Europe-wide B2B reseller network. You decide on the remarketing. You can find details on our remarketing page.
