Designed to expedite approvals and reduce shipping time for new equipment, the DFS solution will provide resellers with a financing alternative.
Through the integration of DFS and Tech Data’s Internet commerce capabilities, credit application, pricing and lease documentation will be completed online at www.techdata.com. By providing leasing services via the Internet, we can offer resellers with a viable financing alternative and cut time and paperwork out of the process. It has become a seamless endeavor, said Mike Zava, vice president, U.S. credit services, Tech Data.
The consolidation of the technology distribution industry has minimized credit opportunities, making it difficult for resellers to find financing for significant orders. At a time when many resellers are having challenges finding credit that doesn’t cannibalize their profit margins, leasing is a flexible tool. Resellers seeking alternatives for financing are able to take advantage of the newest equipment without sacrificing essential capital, said Paul O’Keeffe, senior vice president of the DFS technology leasing group.
