Businesses with 1 to 1,500 employees, commonly referred to as small to mid-sized businesses or SMBs, often face challenges when managing HR and IT together.

Tasks like onboarding new hires, assigning app access, and purchasing and securing devices tend to fall to already busy teams. In many cases, these tasks are manually tracked in spreadsheets or disconnected tools, leading to outdated information, unnecessary IT tickets, and hours spent figuring out who has which device.

To solve this, Electric and Justworks built a powerful integration that connects the dots between HR and IT.

Justworks customers now get direct access to Electric’s online hardware store at no extra cost. This allows them to easily purchase and ship devices to employees in a few clicks, and get full visibility from checkout to delivery.

 

How the Electric X Justworks Integration Works

Electric’s integration with Justworks allows for a seamless, up-to-date, and secure transfer of your data. For teams managing employee lifecycles, this dramatically simplifies the onboarding and offboarding process.

Getting started is simple. First, fill out a quick setup form in Justworks to create your Electric account. From there, you can connect Electric to your Justworks account in a single click.

Now, for onboarding: when a new hire is added to Justworks, the following information automatically flows to Electric to trigger an IT onboarding flow:

• Employee First Name
• Employee Last Name
• Employee Address
• Employee Phone Number
• Employee Personal Email
• Employee Work Email
• Employee Role
• Employee Status: Active/Terminated
• Employee Department
• Department/s

Justworks users can instantly access Electric’s online hardware store to browse, purchase, and securely ship devices and accessories to the new employee. Track each device — from purchase to delivery — in a matter of clicks, for unmatched transparency and peace of mind.

When it comes to offboarding, Electric makes device retrieval easy. The employee receives a QR code by email, brings their device to any UPS location, and Electric takes it from there. Your devices can be securely wiped, stored, reassigned, or shipped to a new employee when you’re ready.

All of this is completely free for Justworks customers with Electric’s HR plan – learn more here! You’ll only pay for your devices and shipping (often with significant savings, thanks to Electric’s preferred pricing rates).

3. What information is shared between Justworks and Electric?
Only the essential employee information needed to automate IT onboarding, offboarding, and hardware management is shared. This includes basic details like name, address, role, department, and employment status — nothing more. You remain in full control of your data, and Electric follows strict security and privacy standards.

4. How fast is the integration setup?
Incredibly fast. It takes about 20 seconds to fill out the setup form, then just a few clicks to connect your Justworks account. Most teams are up and running in minutes.

5. Can I track devices I didn’t buy from Electric?
Yes! Even if you purchased devices elsewhere, you can still track them using Electric’s asset management tools included with the HR plan. This helps you stay organized and avoid that “wait, who has that laptop?!” moment.

6. What is asset management, and why does it matter?
Asset management means keeping track of your company’s laptops and other devices — who has what, where it is, and what condition it’s in. With Electric’s HR plan, this happens automatically as employees are onboarded or offboarded through Justworks, giving you full visibility — without the spreadsheets.

7. Can I use Electric if my employees are remote?
Absolutely! Electric was built with distributed teams in mind. Whether your employees work from home, a coffee shop, or an office, Electric can help get devices to them quickly, securely, and track them no matter where they are.

8. What happens if an employee doesn’t return a laptop?
Electric makes returns easy with pre-paid UPS shipping via QR code. If an employee doesn’t return their device, we will flag it in your asset list so you know exactly what’s missing. If you upgrade to device management, you can also remotely lock or wipe lost or stolen devices for added security.

9. Can I use Electric if I already have an IT provider?
Definitely. Many of our customers have an internal IT team or work with a Managed Service Provider (MSP). Electric simply takes care of the time-consuming tasks like device purchasing, asset management, and returns, so your IT team can focus on the big-picture projects.

10. Is the Electric hardware store only for laptops?
Nope! Electric’s hardware store includes laptops, but also offers monitors, keyboards, mice, and other essential tech for your team. You can manage and track those assets too — keeping your full inventory organized in one place.

11. Does Electric integrate with my SSO?
Electric doesn’t currently integrate with Single Sign-On (SSO) providers like Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace. However, we do offer JumpCloud SSO, which provides secure, centralized access to your applications. If SSO is something your business needs, let’s chat — our team can help you explore whether JumpCloud is the right fit.

12. How is device billing set up through Electric?
It’s simple. When you purchase laptops or other devices through Electric’s hardware store, you can pay securely by credit card at checkout.

13. What happens if there’s an issue with my order?
We’ve got your back. If anything comes up — like shipping delays, incorrect devices, or a technical hiccup — Electric’s support team is ready to help. You can reach out through your Electric account, and we’ll work quickly to resolve the issue so your team isn’t left waiting.
