How it works

The website describes four steps: define the requirement, source the asset, execute the agreement and support the customer. It states that it uses industry standard contracts and flexible lease and return conditions, and that sourcing draws on a network of globally positioned assets. Technical data is indexed for review, and the company says it supports a customer from proposal through the executed lease agreement.
