Workplace safety, productivity and efficiency can be critical to business profitability. But finding the funds to continually update operations with new tech and to meet new regulations and protocols can be a challenge. As many workers return to the office post-COVID, business owners may face additional expenses to ensure their premises meet COVID-safe rules and regulations. Are you aware that finance is available for a wide range of business equipment? Finance is not limited to only the heavy duty machinery used on building and construction sites or the equipment required in manufacturing, warehousing and other operations.
Jade Equipment Finance provides loans for a wide range of equipment that is required by businesses. For your business that may mean new furniture and fit-outs to create a COVID-safe environment for your team, customers and visitors. It may mean upgrading CCTV systems to provide better security for your premises and inside for your business. It may be that you need to completely upgrade your tech to be digitally enabled to compete with others in your market. That tech may be componentry, devices and systems to improve productivity.
Those operating in high risk industries may require finance for major upgrades to better barriers, scaffolding and other equipment.
With lending interest rates currently at historic low levels, now could be the ideal time for you to consider investing in the upgrades your business needs to compete in 2021 and beyond.
Tech Upgrades on the Land
Tech upgrades are not the exclusive domain of offices. Manufacturers are expanding technical devices to make working on the land more productive also. One example is the Work Planner which is available for the John Deere Digital Ecosystem. This latest upgrade to their system and assists agricultural operators with automatic synchronisation of equipment, data and their team.
Operators can access information and data in the cab of the tractor via the John Deere Operations Centre online system. The company says this is a centralised solution that plans and tracks work that is to be done and enables the team to get on with work on their tractors and other equipment as soon as they get to the field to be worked. It allows farmers to plan and communicate more efficiently by ensuring the whole team is working from the same data and to the same work plan. The equipment operator receives the plan for the field that they are working on direct to the cab so they can set up the specs and data and get to work.
Data is then sent back to the central office so the farmer can monitor their operations.
This is just one of many tech systems which are available for farmers and agricultural business operators and staying across new systems and devices may assist your business.
