Kristin School, one of Auckland’s leading independent co-educational schools, manages a wide range of equipment needs across its 50-acre campus — from laptops and learning tools to fitness equipment, shade sails, and even pianos. Like many schools, Kristin’s challenge wasn’t just about having the right equipment, but how to manage the cost of acquiring it.
With cash flows that could vary significantly from year to year, Kristin needed a smarter way to plan for technology and equipment upgrades. Working with Quadrent provided that solution.
“Leasing through Quadrent helped us smooth our costs and cash flows. It allows us to budget and plan more easily, knowing exactly what those amounts are going to be.”
By moving away from large, one-off capital purchases, Kristin can now manage predictable monthly payments — freeing up valuable resources for other areas of school improvement.
Quadrent’s deep experience working with schools means the team understands the specific challenges of the education sector — from tight budgets to sudden, unplanned equipment needs.
“There’s a wide range of equipment we need — and some we only find out about at the last minute. Leasing is a great option in those situations.”
This education-first approach ensures that schools like Kristin don’t have to explain their operational context — Quadrent already speaks their language.
From quick responses and flexible options to simple end-of-term returns, Kristin found working with Quadrent to be refreshingly easy.
“The Quadrent team has been really easy to work with — very responsive and quick to meet our needs. That’s all we can ask for.”
Even complex returns, like 125 staff laptops, are managed efficiently and reasonably, ensuring minimal disruption for school operations.
For Kristin, partnering with Quadrent is about more than just leasing equipment — it’s about giving teachers and students access to modern, reliable tools that enhance teaching and learning.
“We think it’s important that our staff have up-to-date equipment to provide a great education. Quadrent helps make that possible.”
