What is Device-as-a-Service?

In Singapore’s fast-moving business environment, companies need to equip employees with reliable laptops and devices — but buying and managing hardware outright can drain both budgets and IT resources.

Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) solves this challenge. Instead of purchasing or leasing laptops, businesses subscribe to devices for a predictable monthly fee. With providers like Cinch, DaaS in Singapore comes with full lifecycle management, from device procurement and setup to ongoing support and end-of-life recycling.

 

How DaaS works for businesses in Singapore

With DaaS, companies simply choose the laptops their teams need. The provider — such as Cinch — delivers devices pre-configured, manages maintenance, and provides replacements when required. Businesses benefit from:

  • Zero upfront investment in IT hardware

  • Fast onboarding of new employees with ready-to-use laptops

  • Reliable support to reduce downtime

  • Scalable subscriptions to match business growth

This model allows businesses in Singapore to stay agile while keeping costs predictable.

How is DaaS Different From Leasing or Buying Laptops?

Traditional laptop ownership involves large upfront capital expenditure, while leasing often locks companies into inflexible terms without IT support.


DaaS offers a more business-friendly alternative:

  • No CAPEX strain — laptops are billed monthly as OPEX

  • End-to-end management — devices are configured, maintained, and replaced by the provider

  • Scalability — add or remove devices in line with hiring trends

With Cinch’s laptop subscription service in Singapore, businesses gain not just hardware, but a fully managed IT solution designed for growth.
