Hellas Direct x Finloup
The need
Hellas Direct's QA department needs to ensure the highest quality standards in their rapidly evolving digital environment. To thoroughly test and validate their mobile applications and digital services, the team required access to the latest iPhones and Android smartphones.
The challenge
Purchasing these devices outright would have meant a significant upfront investment and the constant need to keep up with new releases. Moreover, older devices would have ended up in the drawer, producing e-waste.
The solution
Finloup provided an ideal solution with our technology leasing plans. Hellas Direct was able to lease the latest iPhones and Androids for their QA team, ensuring they always had access to cutting-edge technology without the financial burden of outright purchase.
