Tech & Equipment Consulting
The right technology, at the right price
JarrettPlatforms gives businesses independent advice on what technology they actually need. No commission, no agenda.
The service
Advice you can rely on
Most advice on what computers to buy comes from people who benefit from the sale. Salespeople earn commission. IT providers often profit from complexity. And "we've always used this" isn't a strategy.
No hardware is sold here. The focus is on understanding your setup and your day-to-day work, then giving clear recommendations on what to change, what to keep, and what to avoid. That might mean spending less than planned, or shifting budget from one area to another. The advice is based on your needs, not a sales margin.

What we cover
What we cover
Hardware selection
Laptops, desktops, or servers. We compare real options, explain the trade-offs, and help businesses avoid both overspending and false economy.
Peripherals and accessories
Monitors, docking stations, webcams, headsets. Equipment that adds up quickly. We'll advise on what's worth the investment and what isn't.
Refresh planning
Rather than replacing everything when it breaks, we can help plan a rolling refresh schedule so your equipment stays reliable without a large one-off cost.
Who this is for
This service is right for you if...
- You're equipping a new office or hiring new staff and aren't sure where to start
- You've received quotes from suppliers and have no means of assessing whether they represent good value
- Your team's hardware is underperforming and you're unsure how to address it
- You want to move away from buying whatever's cheapest and start making informed purchasing decisions
We work with sole traders up to teams of around 30. Larger organisations will typically require a dedicated IT department.
Simple, fixed prices
If you're about to spend several thousand pounds on equipment, a few hundred for independent advice that ensures you're making the right decision is usually straightforward to justify. The initial consultation is always free.
Written audit and recommendations
We review your current setup, understand what it needs to do, and deliver a clear written report covering what to buy, what to keep, and what it should cost.
From £150

From £300
Ongoing or ad hoc advice is charged at £75/hr. The initial 30-minute call is always free.
