Needs Analysis
Our customer advisers will hold in-depth discussions with you to discuss the objectives of your purchase. Drawing on our specialist expertise, we will show you at this stage which solutions are feasible and appropriate, and which aspects still need to be taken into account during the planning phase. Once the objectives have been established, our experts will assess your circumstances and analyse your requirements for hardware, software and other components. We also work with you to clarify which services and service packages you require. In addition to an installation service, we offer maintenance contracts for each device covering annual servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear parts, as well as device insurance with an included repair service in the event of damage. Through professional consultation, we ensure that we can meet your needs in the best possible way.

Development of operational concepts and requirements specifications
Once your requirements have been identified, our account managers and technicians will develop a bespoke operational concept for your business. The operational concept sets out all the details, such as hardware evaluation, software specifications and services, and outlines possible proposed solutions. This gives you an initial insight into what working with COSYS might look like. Our customer advisors will go through the concept with you and explain the proposed solutions so that you can gain a complete overview and assess the planned approaches. Once you have approved the concept, we will draw up a specification document, which we will use as the basis for implementing the project.

If you would like to find out more about a particular device, we offer our information service. We provide you with all available information on the functions and features of the equipment and always endeavour to answer any questions you may have. Should you require more than just facts and figures, we also offer a free trial of your chosen piece of equipment.

On-site hardware demonstration
Would you prefer to get a hands-on feel for the devices under consideration? We’d be happy to offer you hardware demonstrations directly at your premises. Our experts will bring along the devices that are suitable for you and give a detailed demonstration at your practice. You’ll not only receive facts and figures, but also get an initial feel for the devices when you hold them in your hands and operate them yourself. This will help you gain clarity and make the decision-making process easier. Afterwards, you’re welcome to keep the devices for a free trial period.

Budget planning
Have you decided on a solution and are now considering which form of monetisation is most suitable for you? Here, too, our advisers are on hand to present various monetisation options to you. We would be happy to advise you in person to discuss the respective features and benefits with you. If required, we can work with you to draw up a budget plan to help you plan your upcoming investment as effectively as possible, thereby ensuring that you only pay for what you actually need. This budget plan can also be used, for example, as a basis for submitting to any financial institution to obtain suitable leasing or financing offers.

FAQ: Hardware Advice for MDE Devices
When selecting MDE devices, it is important to consider the appropriate hardware components. Fast and reliable data transmission is essential. A powerful processor, sufficient RAM and good battery life are further important factors to bear in mind when making a selection. The display also plays a major role: it should be robust and offer high resolution as well as good readability in varying lighting conditions. Furthermore, MDE devices should have sufficient storage capacity to store all the necessary data and applications. A barcode scanner or RFID reader can also be a useful addition to facilitate data capture. By taking these aspects into account when selecting MDE devices, you can ensure that they meet the requirements of day-to-day use.
When it comes to selecting MDE hardware, there are a number of key factors to consider. First and foremost, it is important that the device meets your organisation’s requirements. What functions are needed, and what type of data needs to be captured? The device’s robustness and durability are also important considerations, particularly if it is to be used in harsh environments. You should also take into account the device’s user-friendliness and design to ensure that your staff can work with it without any problems. Finally, price also plays a role in choosing a mobile data collection device. It is important to strike a balance between features and budget to ensure that you select the best device for your business.

Another option is to carry out a trial period to ensure that the hardware functions correctly and is compatible with your systems and applications.
All we can say here is that careful advice when selecting MDE hardware is crucial to ensuring seamless integration into existing systems and avoiding problems. Various factors need to be taken into account, such as compatibility with other devices or data transmission requirements. Should you have any questions or encounter any problems, our support team will be happy to assist you. We want to reassure you that we will still be there for you after your purchase and can help you with any difficulties you may face. Good advice at the outset can therefore help to save time and money in the long term and enable you to make the best possible use of your MDE devices.
