In the workplace, the average lifespan of a PC is 3 years, and 18 months for a smartphone.
Did you know that, thanks to maintenance, you can free yourself from the constraints imposed by manufacturers, such as the end of warranty, production or spare parts availability?
Not only does it have a positive environmental impact by reducing the production of electronic waste associated with the manufacture of new equipment, it also means you don’t have to replace your devices prematurely.
Maintaining mobile fleets in the workplace presents significant ecological, economic and operational challenges. It’s crucial to choose a service provider capable of taking into account the specifics of your mobile device fleet, while offering local services, rapid response times, rigorous follow-up of repairs, RGPD compliance, the security of your equipment as well as full traceability.
Why centralize your IT maintenance?
- Extend the lifespan of your equipment
- Maintain a consistent fleet
- Reduce your consumption of new equipment
- Save resources and reduce the production of WEEE
- Ensure RGPD compliance
- Optimize your management costs (project management / deployment / training)

A word from Flavien Amey, Founder and CEO of ToucheDeClavier.com
“Repair is a major factor in extending the lifespan of a computer system. From an ecological point of view, repair will always be more beneficial to our environment, as it avoids the production of new products and their disposal (creation of WEEE).
Repairing a laptop is a simple, reliable and sustainable task, but above all it’s cost-effective because it’s often more attractive than replacing the product with a new one. To go even further in reducing the digital footprint of your repairs, you can also opt for reconditioned spare parts, which offer the same level of service and warranty as new parts.”
5 key steps to selecting the best maintenance service for your IT fleet
Choose a French partner
To reduce waiting times and the environmental impact associated with transporting your mobile devices, we recommend choosing a maintenance partner close to your workplace, preferably located in France.
Opting for a “Made in France” service provider guarantees the quality and thoroughness of the repairs carried out, which must comply with the strict legal standards governing the reconditioning of electronic devices.
By choosing a local partner, you also have the opportunity to develop a real relationship of trust with the service provider, and to visit their premises to better understand the repair process for your mobile device fleet.
Choose a one-stop shop for all brands and ranges in your fleet
It’s advisable to choose a repair company offering a one-stop shop for the maintenance of your fleet of mobile devices, whatever their brand or range.
This saves time and money, and simplifies the management of your fleet of smartphones or PCs, which may be made up of different models and brands.
Opt for appropriate maintenance
Touchscreen tablets have different maintenance needs to smartphones and laptops. Choose a partner who will be able to advise you on maintenance adapted to your fleet, and who will take into account all aspects of your business: usage, failure rates, types of breakage…
Demand rigorous follow-up
When managing your IT assets, it’s important to ensure that all operations are transparent and traceable.
We recommend that you ask your maintenance provider to ensure accurate tracking of each piece of equipment, using the IMEI or serial number, and including information such as repairs carried out, data erasure and material recycling.
Limit the risk of breakage with accessories
Equipment breakage is ten times more frequent than theft or loss. To minimize the risk of dropping or breaking your mobile devices, it’s important to protect them.
Depending on your sector of activity and your working environment, which can be more or less hostile, it is advisable to choose the right accessories to guarantee the safety of your equipment.
