Whether life sciences equipment, radiology equipment or surgical devices: your demo pool should be ready for use at short notice and spend as little time as possible unused in storage. We consider the handling of your demo equipment pools as a cycle: starting with the equipment set-up, through short-term interim storage, flexible transport to the point of use, pick-up and refurbishment. This also includes, for example, deleting patient data and replenishing consumables. Furthermore, we have an effective delivery model, enabling us to efficiently transport all of the equipment directly to the specific site if urgent, or deliver the product via our consolidation network, offering you cost savings.
Demo equipment management services we can offer:
The Rhenus inventory control process is conducted by our team of professionals, who are highly experienced in this field of operation. Our team makes sure that all of the equipment used in the demonstration is delivered to the site on time, enabling your sales team to perform the demonstration in front of all the customer’s key decision makers.
With our experience and close coordination with key manufacturers, we are able to configure the equipment expertly at the demo stage.
Our enhanced systems for demo equipment management gives the customer full visibility of all activities as well as the capability to efficiently maintain optimum levels of inventory.
Rhenus in the UK warehouses are located all across the UK, ensuring that all of our equipment is properly stored through our advanced warehouse management system. The security system of our high-tech warehouses enables both customer and customer service staff to easily manage the equipment using the system.
Not all equipment is the same. The medtech sector in particular is characterised by high product diversity and numerous additional configurations. Ensuring that no time is lost when conducting a demonstration of a medical device at a doctor’s office or hospital, that the product is connected professionally, and that it is in the operating room at the right time calls for a wealth of technical expertise and product understanding.
Complex healthcare products such as surgical microscopes for surgical procedures and diagnostic equipment require precision-defined processes for assembly and disassembly, as well as for detailed functional testing once the demo is completed. These can take up to several hours for sophisticated products.
Installation check – Here are some of the many points we check for you:
In keeping with the ‘train the trainer’ method, we only deploy employees who have been professionally trained in dealing with the respective equipment for transport, handling, assembly, installation and functional testing of demo equipment. In addition, we have worked out extensive checklists together with our clients to test functionalities and processes on the equipment. This ensures that we always maintain the same high standards of quality.
In cooperation with one of our clients, we have planned an innovative training concept based on two pillars: an e-learning programme for small equipment with low technical complexity, incorporating augmented reality, and an in-person training programme for large equipment that has a high level of technical complexity. The procedure, scope and format of training are based on this.

The training is passed only after the completion of a final test and an additional check by the company’s own trainers. Regardless of the training type, the basic training contents include the installation check of equipment, the function check, and the safety check of electrical equipment.
