In business, investing in the right resources at the right time is key to success. The right equipment, hire, training, etc. delivered at the right time can have a transformative impact. Conversely, investing in the wrong equipment at the wrong time can cause irreparable damage.


How, though, can you determine when it’s the right time to purchase new equipment? It’s not an easy decision and, as mentioned previously, the wrong decision can have long-lasting consequences. Historical data can prove useful by helping you to identify trends such as the frequency with which you’ve needed to undertake certain types of work. Likewise, data can also be used to determine the frequency with which you’ve needed to decline certain jobs because you don’t have the equipment/technology needed.


Whilst this information can help you make a more informed decision, however, it cannot guarantee you’ll make the right one. Purchasing new equipment always poses a risk – and drain cameras are no exception. Trends can shift, estimations can prove to be incorrect, and any other number of things can make what once seemed like a sensible decision into one you can’t believe you made!


That being said, it’s undeniable that the right investment can have a transformative effect on all organisations. How, then, can you minimise the risk and give yourself the best possible chance of success? By hiring the latest equipment from DCR!


Minimise risk with DCR’s hire service


We’re always adding new equipment to our hire fleet, from camera heads with advanced features to systems capable of inspecting pipes with diameters as low as 32mm and much, much more.


Our customers can therefore undertake jobs that require niche equipment without needing to purchase them outright. This not only allows them to offer additional services but, as they do not need to pay off their purchase, to offer them at a more competitive rate.


Knowing they can access the equipment they’ll need to undertake a task means that DCR’s customers don’t need to decline profitable work. Whilst our hire fleet allows organisations to offer a wider selection of services to their customers, it also allows them to obtain more data. This can include the frequency with which they undertake certain types of work, how profitable these jobs are, the amount of time taken to complete them, etc. This information can then be analysed to determine what equipment would provide the quickest and most consistent return on any investment.


Conclusion


Leveraging the many advantages of hiring drainage equipment, organisations can offer a wider range of services and ensure they don’t fall behind their competitors. By reviewing the data they collect, organisations can quickly determine whether purchasing a drain camera is a smart investment, as well as which model has the features they need and will provide the quickest return on investment.
