Device Life Cycle Management
Your device budget now buys 20–25% fewer phones
Memory shortages are pushing up prices and lead times, and the market isn’t expected to normalise until 2028. Touchcom keeps your fleet running and on budget, starting with the devices you already own.
WHAT’S CHANGED
75–80
devices is what a budget that once covered 100 premium upgrades now buys.
1
Longer lead times. Manufacturers prioritise retail and carrier channels, so large orders of identical high-spec devices take longer to fill.
2
AI-ready devices cost more. Top models need the highest memory tiers, the same supply AI data centres are buying.
3
Longer refresh cycles. Procurement teams are moving from 24-month refreshes to 36–48 month lifecycles.
HOW WE HELP
Our Device Lifecycle Program (DLP) gets more from every device you own
Audit
Every returned or faulty device is assessed and graded.
Repurpose
Refurbished devices go back into service from a ready seed-stock pool.
Trade in
Devices with value left become credit against new devices or services.
Recycle
The rest is recycled responsibly, with certified data erasure.
Plus: the right device for each role and rolling forecasts that secure distributor allocation before stock runs short.
