Do you know the real cost of your equipment?
What you need to know before you start to invest
The way we think about ownership is changing, and many B2C industries are already adapting accordingly. So why shouldn’t we? Especially when use is subjected to fluctuations that are becoming harder and harder to predict. The total cost of any investment is a much bigger and more complex picture than the purchase price alone. You need to consider all kinds of hidden factors.
The concept of usership touches on many different, often complex factors. Therefore, the independent European Rental Association and the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management developed an objective and transparent method of calculating the total cost of usership of any given piece of equipment. The criteria go beyond the financials alone and include such factors as support services, sustainability, logistics and access to expertise.
