In today's demanding work environment that depends on mission critical barcode label printing, scanning or mobile enterprise solutions, working together with enhanced warranty, workshop services and back-up solutions has become the key to any professional company running a streamlined operation.

Using multiple manufacturers or even the same product from the manufacturer over a period of time can also create the need to manage different version releases, or different firmware revisions to ensure application consistency.
All of which is understood and supplied as managed services to our clients.

Hot Swap Service
Our hot swap service includes an agreed spares pool (either on-site or in the workshop) to be used for immediate delivery when a service event occurs. The faulty unit is returned by the client (or collected by agreement) for repair and put back into the spares pool. The hot swap service also includes configuration of custom software and settings, version releases or firmware etc prior to dispatch.

Many mobile computer manufacturers will not authorize 3rd party service providers to repair or refurbish certain parts or components, either during or after warranty periods. Newbury Data work with these manufacturers to provide a single point of contact for the customer to ensure the device is repaired, configured and returned to the customer or the spares pool within the service level agreed.
