Revenue model

1. Managed Services (Full IT Outsourcing): IDLE bundles multiple IT and telecom services — cloud migration, AI telephony, mobile, DaaS, networking, cybersecurity, license management, IoT, and Global SIM — under a single managed services contract. This creates recurring revenue from ongoing management, monitoring, support, and optimization. The single-contact model replaces multiple vendor relationships, making it a land-and-expand recurring revenue motion as clients grow their service consumption over time.
2. Device as a Service (Hardware): Smartphones and laptops provided as a monthly subscription per device. Includes procurement, zero-touch rollout, asset management, device swaps/repairs, and secure data erasure on return. Refresh cycles are predefined, providing predictable recurring hardware revenue. Referenced dashboard showing 1,284 total assets under management.
3. Project-Based Implementation & Consulting: One-time project revenue from cloud migrations, network setups, MPLS deployments, and consulting engagements for custom solutions. The company states over €10 million in project revenue realized since founding in 2022, suggesting significant one-time project contribution alongside recurring streams.
4. Telecom (Mobile, Global SIM, IoT): Recurring telecom contracts for mobile fleet management, international eSIM services (190+ countries), and IoT connectivity. As a Vodafone Business Distributor Platin, IDLE resells and manages mobile contracts with centralized fleet administration, tariff optimization, and carrier management.
