First-time AED buyers face a genuinely unfamiliar set of decisions, often for the first time in their organization's history - here is an honest, complete roadmap pulling together what matters most.
Step One: Understand Your Site's Actual Needs
As covered in our buyer's guide, start by assessing your environment, foot traffic and any specific risk factors before comparing devices.
Step Two: Shortlist Devices That Genuinely Fit
Use our brand and device comparisons to narrow options based on your priorities - simplicity, budget, ruggedness or connectivity.
Step Three: Compare Suppliers, Not Just Devices
As covered in our supplier questions guidance, a genuine supplier offers installation, training and maintenance, not just a one-time device sale.
Step Four: Plan for Training and Ongoing Maintenance
Budget and schedule for training and maintenance from the outset, rather than treating these as an afterthought once the device arrives.
Step Five: Review and Adjust Annually
As covered in our January readiness review piece, revisit your coverage annually as your organization's needs evolve over time.
