Additional flexibility to match your organization’s needs
Service customization
- Accidental Damage: in the event a device is damaged we can include an allowance for repair or replacement.
- Business Flex – early return: if you anticipate a workforce reduction a percentage of device subscriptions can be end early.
- Business Flex – non return: if devices cannot be located or you’d like to retain them, a percentage of devices need not be returned.
- Device labeling: devices can have custom labels attached to them as part of the staging process.
- IT Bar: customer locations can have devices stored locally for deployment and replacement.
How we reduce costs
- Standardized device configurations reduce costs and streamline logistics
- On-demand inventory allows to order in bulk and only pay for devices when they are called off
- No partial month invoicing - pay only from the 1st day of the following month after device call off
- Efficient device logistics at a global scale is a core capability
- Improved productivity with rapid deployment and replacements arriving the Next Business Day
- Business Flex option to accommodate a percentage of early returns and/or non-returns
- Replace multiple hardware vendors, leasing companies, logistics and service providers with just one capable partner
A comprehensive range of devices are supported

Choose your preferred procurement strategy
Vendor-neutral standard configurations
The most cost-effective strategy. We standardize on a selection of configurations for laptops and desktops. The top three global vendors are invited to bid to fulfil the orders that we have across multiple customers. This requires customers to use Windows Autopilot for provisioning so that the imaging is device independent.
Vendor-specific custom configuration
This is a less cost-effective strategy. Specific laptop and desktop configurations are purchased from a vendor. We will use the costs that you are provided by the vendor to calculate our pricing. It’s required where an organization uses device-specific SCCM for provisioning, which also adds labor costs for manual tasks.
Global logistics and support
Device storage and technical services are handled through a network of hi-tech facilities totalling approximately 450,000 square feet. These facilities combined with local capabilities support our Next Business Day Replacement SLA across 190+ countries.
Where appropriate, following our expedited replacement, devices can be repaired or refurbished at "board level". This capability underpins our cost-effective services and our commitment to sustainability and a circular economy.
IT Integration and Reporting
Enterprise-class systems
Our ITSM platform integrates bi-directionally with any customer ITSM system using APIs.
Tickets are opened in the customer’s system of record and seamlessly actioned within our systems and updated in the customer’s platform in real time.
We can also integrate with leading supply chain procurement platforms.
