Managing employee devices shouldn’t feel like running a full-scale logistics operation. Yet, for many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), it does. From procuring hardware to ensuring devices are secure and operational on day one, the process often eats into valuable time and resources. Add storage concerns and offboarding complexities to the mix, and the challenges grow.
But what if there was a way to centralize and simplify it all?
The Challenges SMBs Face with Hardware Procurement and Warehousing
Managing the device lifecycle—from purchase and shipping to retrieval and storage—places significant demands on SMBs.
- Operational Efficiency: Procuring devices, coordinating shipments, and managing storage requires time and expertise most SMBs don’t have.
- Employee Experience: Delays in device procurement can disrupt the onboarding process and negatively impact the employee experience for new hires.
- Security and Compliance: Inconsistent device procurement and retrieval processes can leave your business exposed to security risks and compliance issues.
