As the new year hype starts to fade, many businesses are looking ahead to how they can grow and develop this year, and seeking asset finance solutions that will support their need for financial resilience and operational flexibility, especially those who are in the capital-hungry warehouse and logistics sector.
E-commerce in the warehouse and logistics sector
Automation is quickly transforming operations in this area, with ever-more sophisticated technology being introduced and offering improvements for things like handling, storage, and distribution processes.
To stay competitive, businesses need to take advantage of the benefits that these technologies offer. However, they can come with a hefty price tag… This leaves businesses questioning how they can acquire the assets they need while managing risk and safeguarding capital on top of keeping monthly outgoings affordable.
Ditch the ‘borrow and buy’ thinking
Many businesses only think about spreading the cost but with technology evolving so quickly, transitioning to a usership model can make a real difference, helping a company reduce costs, and improve productivity while keeping their all-important capital liquid to invest in growing the business.
One size doesn’t fit all
In a sector where there is such a variety of tools and technology, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the procurement and management of assets across their lifecycle – from acquisition to operation and maintenance to upgrading and disposing of them.
This is why understanding each business’s needs, and understanding the everyday usage of assets, is highly important and will play a huge role in structuring the right financial solution. For example, some businesses may benefit greatly from a rental option while in another case it may be best to look into another leasing solution.
