Business peak? Opt for cash register rental!

Are you planning a braderie, a trocathlon, a sidewalk sale, a flash sale or an unpacking sale? Peaks in activity of this kind call for a punctual increase in the number of point-of-sale terminals. The only way to use more POS (Point Of Sale) terminals without breaking your hardware budget is to rent them! Renting cash registers not only offers economic and logistical advantages, but also ecological benefits.

When cash register rental is the right choice

In many sectors, reconditioned equipment can be rented to meet the needs of peak periods: 

Punctual customer flows call for real flexibility. It’s all about avoiding organizational mishaps. That’s what renting POS terminals is all about. Whether for the short or medium term, POS (Point of Sale) rental facilitates organization during peak periods. 

Your sales site manager can lighten his or her mental load. He or she can concentrate on welcoming customers, organizing employees, managing stock and payments. It also frees up more cash to increase inventory and hire staff. The first advantage of renting a payment terminal is its economic dimension.

To ensure total profitability, we advise you to consider a maintenance contract for the duration of the rental period. Environments typical of one-off events often disrupt teams. Changes of location and peaks in activity create stress, which can lead to frequent breakdowns. At Codeo, we offer this type of all-inclusive package.

Why rent rather than buy a POS? 

For one-off commercial events, renting POS equipment quickly seems more cost-effective than buying it. However, this reasoning goes beyond a simple comparison between purchase and rental prices.

By leasing your equipment, as recommended by the French government, you reduce the cost/machine per day. Buying a stock of cases to cope with peaks in activity may seem profitable in the long term. You only buy once, whereas you rent several times. However, this logic doesn’t hold if we look at the costs involved in maintaining a computer park. 

In addition to these predictive and curative maintenance costs, there is also a storage and immobilization budget. As an “immobilizable” asset, cash registers form part of your company’s recorded business assets. This is all the more true as they generate income. As such, they are subject to specific tax treatment. 

Conversely, the rental of checkouts and barcode scanners does not create an accounting asset. Nor does it tie up your budgets. Better still, rental frees up capital for other urgent purchases. That’s why many managers opt to trade-in their unused POS systems. Taking back POS terminals when they’re idle saves on downtime costs. 

POS terminal rental: an operational advantage

Opting to rent cash registers helps you to cope with peaks in activity, without spending a large budget on equipment. But the organizational benefits of rental don’t stop there: 

1 / By opting to rent reconditioned cash register equipment, you offer your employees a homogeneous fleet of computers. In other words, the rented cash registers work like the ones they’re already using. No need for training, no unpleasant surprises. Your teams are up and running as soon as they receive the equipment.

2 / Large sales operations sometimes require hundreds of additional checkouts. By renting, you can be sure of rapid supply. Even if you need to expand your computer park for a while.

3 / Buying cash registers for a given event means managing their receipt, unpacking and set-up. On the other hand, renting your cash register equipment saves you time. At Codeo, for example, we send out POS systems with their settings, ready for use.

Renting POS terminals to boost your CSR

Renting POS terminals is particularly suitable for companies committed to a strong Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy. By renting reconditioned equipment, you avoid having to purchase new IT equipment. This reduces your digital carbon footprint. A reconditioned POS terminal represents a carbon reduction of 75% compared with new equipment. 

Using a reconditioned POS rental service provider also means promoting recycling. Reusing equipment reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Indirectly, your company is a responsible consumer. It favors service providers who give a second life to the electronic components of equipment taken back from their customers. 

Note that a rental project requires a flexible service provider. Codeo deploys its teams of technicians throughout France, in addition to having branches all over Europe. You rent your checkouts for as long as you need them, with or without accessories. Each unit is cleaned and configured according to your habits.
