Scalability and Flexibility
Running a business carries lots of uncertainty. Equipment usage and availability are often the metrics most applicable to justify a necessary purchase. High-tech assets have unique elements attached like resale value, reliability, obsolescence, service times and upgrade paths. These products can be so specialized they sometimes have a low UTILIZATION RATE, making them ideal to rent vs tying up capital via a fixed loan purchase or even a short-term lease. By “financing the rental” as a line-item expense against a billable project or budget, every dollar invested is billable, every single one. “Airplanes don’t make money on the ground” as they say. By incorporating the strategic advantages of equipment rental options from HTS Advanced Solutions, your business can increase the capability matrix of available on-demand resources. This adds tremendous value to your service’s potential.
Other factors also worth consideration when deploying new technology could be skilled labor, insurance, storage, calibration, and delegating responsibility (to an individual or a team). These potential liabilities can add new complexities as well as potential hidden costs, such as forced downtime (unscheduled maintenance, repairs, or loss/theft) to any operationally geared company. Working with HTS Advanced Solutions equipment resource plans, companies can focus on delivering their specific value add to their customer that hopefully makes them repeat customer.
Logistics
The simplistic value of portable 3D scanning and metrology is to bring the intrinsic features of an object or environment from the physical to the digital realm (DIGITIZING or REALITY CAPTURE or DIGITAL TWIN). Getting all resources to the site can sometimes be the hardest part of a project, not much separates a deadline from a delay. HTS has organically grown a deep inventory of 3D equipment that’s “ready to ship” on demand. Strict quality protocols are designed to minimize potential hardware issues and if an unforeseen problem arises, you always have a real person to speak to for a quick resolution. After business hours support is very rare these days, have you tried calling the manufacturer after 5 pm? At HTS, we have coast-to-coast support technicians to assist with 24-hour call number.

Support can be delivered in a variety of ways, via phone call or video chat, sending a skilled technician on-site, or just the equipment rental, our goal is to work in tandem with your company to ensure efficient project completion.
CapEX vs OpEX
Acquiring a piece of equipment for your company as CapEX (capital expenditure) means it is an asset intended to benefit the organization for more than one year. Intended as a one-time purchase, the asset costs will be deducted over time figuring depreciation and amortization. Equipment Rental services costs can be treated as OpEX (operation expense), the costs are directly tied to a specific project need. In this scenario, all of the service fees and costs of the equipment rental service charges can be fully tax-deducted. Depending on your company’s specific needs, renting can often be a better fit for many on-demand project requirements.
…Over a decade of repeat clients sharing their success with HTS is a testament to how we serve a special role in the market.

Implementing business intelligence metrics into equipment resource planning can help managers predict trends on how to play the market and when to make investments. Current interest rates for borrowing have shown a tendency to slow business investment spending. It’s obvious that manufacturers are moving to a service model of delivering goods, such as subscriptions, more flexible leasing, or even direct rentals. We work with the manufacturers, often getting referrals, simply because RENTAL is our main focus!
