Case Study
Immediate Media
“We needed to replace a lot of kit in a short space of time. Trams worked closely with us and were flexible with deliveries and collections. Being able to use the buy-back credit against the purchase was a big plus. We were very happy with the way it went with their support.”

Project Background
Immediate needed help refreshing a large number of their Mac Pros and iMacs. This involved supplying new replacements under a timed delivery and recycling of their old ones.
The Challenge
- Fast, reliable delivery was required - just two weeks
- Recycling of out-going equipment was required
- All incoming equipment needed to have memory upgrades installed asll all units needed to be pre-tested before sending out to Immediate
- Immediate Media was looking reduce their total cost of ownership by obtaining a rebate on the outgoing Mac equipment
The Solution
- Fast, effective consultancy and account management across the project
- Delivery was on time as scheduled over two weeks
- Setup/testing of new equipment was carried out in a professional and timely fashion
- Trams arranged the collection of all the equipment to be recycled whilst also being able to offer an excellent residual value on their Mac equipment in the 3-5 year age range. This in turn lowered the total cost of ownership for their original Mac equipment
The Results
- Immediate received a swift turn around on their equipment, a great credit against their recycled equipment
- And had Trams build, test and deliver new equipment within their time frame.
