02 Dec Why Buying Your IT Hardware & Software Through WTS Systems Makes Business Sense
Most small and medium-sized businesses buy their computers, software and accessories from big-name retailers or online stores — simply because it feels like the easiest option. But in reality, there’s a smarter, more cost-effective way to do it.
At WTS Systems, we supply a wide range of business-grade hardware and software directly to our clients. From desktops and laptops to specialist software licences, we help SMEs get the right equipment at the right price — often far cheaper than buying retail.
Here’s why more of our customers are choosing to source everything through us.
1. Better pricing than most high-street and online retailers
Because we work with trusted UK distributors and business suppliers, we can often secure significantly lower pricing than traditional retail stores — including big-name brands.
This covers a wide range of equipment, including:
- Laptops and desktops
- Tablets and 2-in-1 devices
- Monitors and docking stations
- Mice, keyboards and headsets
- Printers and accessories
- Business-grade Wi-Fi and networking equipment
Whether you need one device or a full office refresh, our pricing is competitive and transparent — no confusing bundles and no unnecessary add-ons.
2. Business-grade devices that last longer
Many off-the-shelf computers are aimed at home users. They work fine at first, but often become slow or unreliable sooner than expected.
We help you choose business-grade models designed for everyday work:
- Faster processors
- Better build quality
- Longer warranties
- More stable performance
- Proper support from the manufacturer
This keeps your team productive — and reduces the need for emergency IT callouts later.
3. We set it up properly before it reaches your desk
Buying online usually means the device arrives “as is”, leaving your team to set it up.
When you buy through WTS Systems, we can:
- Pre-configure the device
- Install required software
- Set up Microsoft 365
- Apply security settings
- Join it to your existing network
- Migrate data from old devices
- Deliver it ready to plug in and use
This saves time, avoids mistakes, and reduces disruption.
4. We also supply software — including Microsoft 365
Alongside hardware, we offer a full range of software:
Microsoft 365 licences
This includes Business Standard, Business Premium, Exchange-only plans, and all add-ons, such as:
- Additional security modules
- Compliance tools
- Advanced threat protection
- Archiving and retention features
If you’re not sure exactly what your business needs, we can guide you.
Specialist and industry-specific software
Need CAD tools? Accounting software? Project management platforms?
We can source and licence most major software packages — ensuring compatibility with your existing systems.
This means you benefit from:
- Correct licensing
- Correct number of seats
- No overpaying
- No expired or unmanaged subscriptions
5. One supplier, one invoice, one point of contact
Managing multiple suppliers can be a headache. When everything comes through WTS Systems, life becomes much simpler.
You get:
- A single supplier for all tech purchases
- A single point of contact for advice
- Accurate product recommendations
- Invoices that are easy to track
- Ongoing support if anything goes wrong
This is especially helpful for SMEs without an internal IT team.
6. Honest advice — not upselling
Because we support the equipment we sell, it’s in our interest to supply the right kit, not the most expensive.
We only recommend hardware and software that:
- Fits your business needs
- Works well with your existing systems
- Will last
- Offers good value
- Is easy for staff to use
Our goal is to keep your team productive, not to push unnecessary upgrades.
What our customers usually save
While savings vary, many of our SME clients typically find:
- Laptops/desktops: £50–£150 lower than retail
- Monitors & accessories: competitive with online retailers, often cheaper
- Microsoft 365: better guidance, correct licensing, and lower long-term cost through avoiding unused licences
- Specialist software: access to correct business licensing with full support
Even more importantly, the time saved by having everything set up correctly is worth far more than the hardware itself.
Final thoughts
Buying IT equipment shouldn’t be complicated — and it shouldn’t cost more than it needs to. When you buy through WTS Systems, you get:
- Fair business pricing
- The right hardware for the job
- Proper setup and security
- One point of contact
- Peace of mind
Whether you need a new mouse or a full office refresh, we’re here to help.
