Behind every cracked screen or failed laptop lies a hidden cost. For schools, MATs, independent schools, colleges, and universities running a 1-2-1 device scheme, it’s not just the price of repair — it’s the admin hours spent managing claims, the budget strain of unexpected bills, and the lost learning time when students are left without devices.

For institutions deploying 1 to 1 devices strategically, including Chromebooks for schools and build devices for MATs, these pressures quickly scale.

Edutech Shield, supported by Support+, addresses these challenges directly. Together, they deliver measurable cost savings and time efficiencies that generic insurance or standard warranties simply cannot match.


1. Controlling Hidden Costs in a 1 to 1 Device Scheme

  • Manufacturer warranties rarely cover accidental damage.
  • Out-of-warranty repairs can cost hundreds of pounds per device.
  • Shield turns unpredictable repair expenses into predictable, budget-friendly costs.


Impact: Finance teams protect budgets from sudden spikes, creating smoother, more sustainable planning across their 1 to 1 technology provision.

2. Reducing Admin Overload Across MATs and Independent Schools

Traditional claims management wastes hours of staff time. Support+ eliminates this by:

  • Automating claim submission and tracking.
  • Giving parents and staff 24/7 self-service support.
  • Providing IT and finance teams with transparent dashboards.
     

Impact: Staff save time, reducing the hidden costs of manual administration.
