Rental inventory scanners instead of purchasing
Every year, the same question arises: how can the short-term high demand for MDE devices for inventory be met efficiently? Purchasing devices, including software and infrastructure, ties up capital, creates organisational overhead and leaves equipment unused for most of the year. Using a rental inventory scanner is therefore the economically sensible alternative – reliable, scalable and without investment risk.

When should you hire inventory scanners?
Rental scanners are the ideal solution when you need a large number of functional MDE devices at short notice for accurate and rapid inventory recording. This is particularly the case in the following scenarios:
| For retail chains | For sole traders |
|---|---|
| Cross-store inventory counts on a specific date: When retail chains need to count stock in dozens or hundreds of stores simultaneously without having to keep their own scanners in each store. | Mastering seasonal peaks: Secure the ability to confidently cover traditional order peaks, such as at the turn of the year, in order to save investment costs while still being able to accept every order and complete it profitably. |
| Efficient self-inventory in medium-sized businesses: When independent retailers want to carry out inventory recording with their own team without having to make high investments or hire external service providers. | Securing large-scale projects: Carry out even short-term, unforeseen orders with multiple teams simultaneously – our inventory solution provides the necessary architecture for this. |
| Temporary demand for individual annual inventories: At the end of the year in particular, it is important that inventory scanners can be made available quickly and centrally so that the inventory can be carried out uniformly, accurately and quickly. | Fleet integration as standard: our complete solution could also become your new system for all projects. The result: standardised, high-performance processes, tried-and-tested software and a complete ERP-independent solution for every inventory. |
