As an early adapter of new technologies, MacRent was the first company in the Nordics to integrate DLL’s new web-based leasing solutions – DLL Entré Connect and DLL E-Sign – into its daily business. “It was the best decision I’ve ever made,” says MacRent owner/CEO Jonas Vikander.

Sweden’s leader in leasing Apple products

MacRent works with hundreds of companies – from one-man creative shops to large international advertising agencies. Instead of buying new Macs, these companies sign two- or three-year equipment leasing contracts with MacRent that include continuous servicing and upgrades.

“When DLL introduced DLL Entré Connect I wasn’t sure, but I said I’d give it a try,” says MacRent’s Vikander. “It totally transformed my business. It’s so accurate and so fast. Before we needed to add the leasing information in two systems, our own and DLL’s. Since adopting DLL Entré Connect in 2014 I haven’t seen a single fault in orders. It is the biggest revolution I’ve seen in this industry.”

Fast and flexible

DLL Entré Connect is designed to increase the speed and ease of doing business with DLL. It seamlessly aligns a dealing partner’s order system with DLL’s front office system Entré. “MacRent is unique in that it allows its customers to return equipment during the leasing period,” says Johan Tallroth, DLL Account Manager Sweden. “Speed and flexibility are keys to the company’s business model, including lease approval. DLL Entré Connect offers approval for new leases in seconds.”

“DLL Entré Connect differentiates us from everyone else on the market,” adds Vikander. “It gives customers full control over their stock and our salesmen a clear solution. Push a button and all our products, pricing and discounts go straight to the credit department. I don’t think there is another financial service tool that can manage so much on such a small scale.

Sign no more

Vikander is equally enthusiastic about another web-based service offered by its equipment leasing partner: E-Sign. DLL E-Sign enables MacRent to send out lease agreements digitally, completely eliminating the need for paper contracts and underscoring its fast and flexible business model.

“It’s reduced transactions from days, even weeks, to just 10 minutes,” says Vikander. “No more signatures, no more ID checks, no more stamps. No more waiting. I send a client a lease agreement for E-Sign, he clicks on the button and sends it back. It enables us to send out the Apple machines instantly. When you’re juggling five new leasing contracts a day, DLL E-Sign saves a lot of time and hassle.”

Both DLL web-based tools are ideal for small- and medium-sized businesses that spend a disproportionate amount of their time on paperwork. They effortlessly customize financial solutions and make last-second contract changes possible. Vikander: “DLL Entré Connect and DLL E-Sign make it easier for us as a supplier to be a true service provider for our clients.”
