Procurement Management

At Fifosys, we have a dedicated team to help with procurement of the hardware and software needed to run your business. Great procurement is more than buying products at the cheapest possible price. It's about buying the right product and managing it well.

Buying equipment through Fifosys means that you will get great rates for the right specification of equipment. Home or Student versions of software may work well on stand-alone computers, but won't work over a network. Similarly, a home-specification printer or modem won't be suitable for a business environment. In so many instances, buying product that seems great value will lead to far greater costs to make it work effectively for your business.

Our Fixed Asset Management service starts with a full audit of your equipment: Servers, PCs, laptops, company owned mobiles and other devices: these are often a large part of the fixed assets on your balance sheet and need to be accounted for efficiently. Mobiles are often not recovered when people leave a business and laptops may be replaced without informing finance that the old machines need to be written off in the books. Fifosys can provide that link between IT and the business.

All new hardware will come with manufacturers warranties and we will manage the relationship with the vendor to ensure repairs are fully covered where possible. We also help clients make a decision when a piece of equipment is out of warranty as to whether it is economical to repair or better to replace. When it comes to disposing of equipment, we decommission the machine and then use secure, ethical and legally certified recycling.

When it comes to looking after your software, we offer a licence management service. Our licence renewal application will ensure that your applications are renewed as required, we can keep track of licence information to help manage the process of installing software on a new machine and our gold partner status with Microsoft gives us access to Microsoft Service Provider Licence Agreement (SPLA) so that you only pay for what you use.
