Sale & Rent Back:
Move to DaaS with the devices you already own

Transition to a subscription model without waiting for a full refresh cycle. Your devices stay in place, your DaaS journey begins from day one.

Sound familiar?

A fragmented IT estate

Years of individual purchases have left you with a patchwork of aging devices and no unified way to manage them.

DaaS feels out of reach

A subscription model makes sense, but not if it requires a full fleet replacement before you can start.

Capital tied up in hardware

Your IT assets hold significant value on the balance sheet while your budget remains under pressure.

One transaction.
Your DaaS journey starts.

devicenow purchases your existing IT fleet at fair market value and immediately rents it back to you on a subscription basis. Your devices stay in place, your team keeps working, and you enter the DaaS model from day one.

How it works in practice

devicenow purchases your fleet at fair market value and rents it straight back to you. 

Rental begins immediately — same devices, predictable monthly cost, fully flexible terms. 

Device breaks? A brand-new replacement in your agreed configuration ships next business day. 

As devices age out of rental, full DaaS takes over. Lifecycle management, support, and refresh all included. 

Three steps to your DaaS transition

From first conversation to rental start, the process is straightforward and transparent.
01

Fleet valuation

We assess your fleet and sign up its scope, including devices, locations, and schedules, to build an offer that fits your situation.
02

Accept, agree and confirm

You review and accept the offer, agree on rental terms and dates, and share the necessary documentation. Our team guides you through every step.
03

Rental begins

The rental commences. Rental contracts activate on your chosen start date. Your transition to DaaS is complete.

Everything you gain from day one

SARB is the fastest route into a fully managed DaaS model, with measurable advantages from the moment you sign.

Your team keeps the devices they know. The transition to a managed subscription model happens in the background, starting on day one.

A fragmented IT estate becomes a single, unified rental relationship. No more ad hoc procurement. One supplier, one contract.

A fixed monthly subscription replaces unpredictable hardware spend. Finance gets clarity, IT gets consistency. 

Your existing hardware is monetised at fair market value, creating income for you whilst converting CAPEX to OPEX and freeing up budget for strategic priorities.

SARB brings your fleet into the devicenow ecosystem. As devices age out, full lifecycle management and support take over naturally.

Secure data erasure and responsible asset disposal when rental terms end. Fully GDPR-aligned and sustainability-ready.

Your fleet renews itself – quietly, seamlessly

This is how enterprise IT fleets modernise with devicenow. Not through one big migration, but one seamless replacement at a time. No project, no disruption. Just a fleet that gets newer every time a device is replaced.
SARB rental starts
Your existing fleet enters a rental model. Same devices, same users, predictable monthly cost.
New joiner? Ready from day one
A fully configured device ships directly to your new employee. No waiting, no IT queue, no delay to productivity.
Device fails or reaches end of life
IT validates the request. A replacement device in the agreed configuration ships automatically, with no procurement process or budget approval needed.
New device, next business day
The user is back up and running. The old rental unit closes. The fleet is one device newer.
Full DaaS, naturally
Over time, your entire fleet transitions to modern, fully managed DaaS without a single migration project.

Common questions answered

devicenow purchases your existing IT fleet at fair market value and immediately rents it back to you on a subscription basis. You continue using the same devices, move to a predictable monthly cost, and take your first step into the DaaS model without replacing a single device.

You choose between book value, based on your accounting depreciation and neutral for your P&L, or estimated fair market value, based on device specs and condition. Our team walks you through both options so you can choose what fits your situation.

No. Terms are agreed per device and fully flexible. Common durations include 6, 12, 24, or 36 months, but we work to your specific requirements. Different device groups can carry different terms within a single transaction.

Yes, and this is the most common path. As devices age out of rental, transitioning to full DaaS with lifecycle management, support, and refresh included is a natural next step.
