Guillaume is Product Director at Fleet, a start-up that simplifies IT equipment rental, management and replacement for start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs.
IT equipment rental is part of a shift towards the access economy that is growing strongly in France. This usage-based consumption allows companies to focus their resources and time on their core business.
According to Guillaume, the first trend in the IT equipment rental market is companies’ need for flexibility. The second is the need to maintain a high level of security in a working environment where remote working has become firmly established.
Fleet’s strong growth demonstrates rising demand from businesses in this market. The COVID crisis has increased requirements. Renting IT equipment also helps simplify onboarding, a key stage in the recruitment and integration process.
Many small and medium-sized businesses do not have access to traditional rental solutions and represent a major growth opportunity for the IT equipment rental market.
The environmental dimension is also a new factor in this market. The cloud is also changing companies’ hardware requirements.
