KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Best overall for globally distributed teams: Tequipy. It has no regional plans: one rate card applies in all 180+ countries it serves, and devices cost the local retail price with delivery included. Start with a single order, wherever your next hire sits.
  • Workwize suits teams that want a delivery service driven by their HR system. Its Basic plan needs at least 150 users and ships to three of its seven regions.
  • Dots suits teams that want a free asset register first and logistics later. Its Pro plan costs $300 a month and buys hardware in two geographies.
  • Count your regions before you compare prices. Both entry plans stop at a border, so the plan that fits is the one that reaches every country where your people sit.

The Workwize vs Dotstech question looks like a price comparison, but the first limit you meet is a map. Workwize's pricing page caps its Basic plan at three regions out of seven, and Dots' pricing page caps procurement on its Pro plan at two geographies. Both vendors describe themselves as global; neither entry plan is.

The two also start from opposite ends of the device lifecycle. Dots began as an asset register and gives it away free. Workwize began as a delivery service, and its register draws most of the complaints. The sections below take both vendors through price, ease of use, support, integrations and coverage. A third option without a region cap closes the comparison.

Both G2 counts were read in September 2026. Trustpilot holds 5 Workwize reviews and 6 Dots reviews, too few to compare, so this guide uses G2 for each.

Who Is Workwize Best For?

Workwize homepage, the first vendor in this workwize vs dotstech comparison

Workwize publishes three country counts at the same time: 100+ on LinkedIn, 120 in its About page stats and 130+ in its FAQ, served from 14 warehouse hubs. The Amsterdam company, founded in 2020, has 23 reviews on G2 at 4.2 out of 5. Fourteen of those Workwize reviews arrived between 3 and 16 September 2026, every one marked as a seller invite.

Before features come into it, there is a headcount floor: Workwize will not sell Basic to a company under 150 users. Above that floor, Workwize serves three buyers well:

  • Teams that want hiring data to drive orders: a start date entered in BambooHR, HiBob, Workday, Personio or Rippling can open the device order, with no ticket in between.
  • Teams ready to pre-buy stock: in-stock equipment ships in one to seven working days, per Workwize's FAQ, and in practice that stock is hardware you paid for earlier and left in a Workwize hub.
  • Buyers who may want rented hardware: Workwize offers rental next to outright purchase, while Dots sells outright only.

A director of IT, in a vendor-invited review, names both sides of the map: "They are not located in all countries we currently have employees but they are consistently expanding and have now got us 98% covered" (vendor-invited Capterra review).

For Whom Is Dots Useful?

Dots homepage at dotstech.com, the IT asset platform compared with Workwize

Dots gives its asset register away: the free plan covers unlimited users and unlimited assets, with integrations, dashboards and reports. Logistics starts at Pro, which costs $300 a month or $3,500 a year. Dots (dotstech.com) is a Tel Aviv company founded at the start of 2024, spun out of the cloud services firm GlobalDots.

Read its reviews with care. Dots has 22 G2 reviews at 4.7, with no rating below 4 and no new review since 16 March 2026. Its Trustpilot page fell from 24 reviews in July to 6, all five stars, and five of those six names also reviewed Dots on G2. So a small group of customers wrote most of the record. Within that limit, Dots fits three buyers:

  • Teams leaving spreadsheets behind: a co-founder who uses it mainly for tracking writes, "For a smaller team, this already provides enough value without heavy procurement usage" (January 2026 G2 review).
  • Teams that hire in two geographies at most: Pro covers both, with a 30-day free test drive. See Dots plans priced line by line.
  • Teams already on HiBob or BambooHR with Jamf or Intune: one customer says the "integration with HiBob, Kanji, Jamf makes my life so easy when dealing with HR" (April 2024 G2 review).

Tequipy: An Alternative

Tequipy homepage, a third option beside Workwize and Dots

Before founding Tequipy, our co-founder was Revolut's Head of IT, and he took its laptop process from two offices and 100 staff to 17 offices and 5,000. Tequipy sells that process as a service. Against this pair, four things differ:

  • No region cap and no plan tier: every customer can order in every country we serve, from the first device.
  • A register that also moves devices: the platform is free for up to 100 devices and tracks laptops bought anywhere, uploaded by CSV.
  • Retail price with delivery included: 600+ authorised resellers handle global laptop procurement inside the employee's country, so no laptop waits at customs.
  • Services on devices you already own: retrieval, storage, redeployment and sellback work on laptops from Workwize, Dots or a local shop.
Cost line Workwize Dots Tequipy
Platform fee $8 a seat plus $540 on Basic Pro $300 a month or $3,500 a year $99 a month flat at any fleet size, free for up to 100 devices
Service prices Not published Not published $70 to $150 per offboarding or redeployment, $12 a month storage
Minimum to start 150 users Paid plan for logistics None

Every Tequipy figure in this table is on the public Tequipy pricing page. Sources for the Workwize and Dots figures follow in each section.

{{cta-primary}}

Price

Dots publishes a flat plan price, and Workwize publishes a seat price on its competitor pages. Neither publishes what a delivery, a pickup or a month of storage costs.

Workwize Price

  • Seats plus a platform fee: $8 a seat on Basic, $11 on Professional, and a $540 platform fee on each. Workwize states these figures on pages that compare it with rivals; its own pricing page says "Request Pricing" for every plan. Each step up the ladder adds regions: three on Basic, five on Professional, all seven on Enterprise.
  • Services come with the seats: the plan table ticks pickup, storage and repair without pricing them, so a month with no hires costs as much as a busy one. The seat maths is in Workwize's seat plans, priced out.
  • Invoices take work: a team that evaluated Workwize told us its invoicing came as "Excel files with multiple tabs", with devices invoiced before delivery.

Dots Price

  • Three plans, one public price: Free at $0, Pro at $300 a month or $3,500 on yearly billing (about 3% off), and Enterprise by quote. Dots publishes no minimum spend or device count, and Tequipy asks for no contract minimum either. Enterprise adds every supported geography, single sign-on, custom integrations and a dedicated account manager.
  • The plan buys access, not volume: the pricing page names no included number of orders, pickups or storage months. Dots' delivery FAQ describes a fixed retrieval fee per workstation for clients with a signed agreement, and the amount is not public.
  • Hardware appears late: the device price shows inside the platform after an order request. A current Dots customer in Dubai told us his team uses it to buy and ship only, not for the rest of the lifecycle.

Verdict on Price

Dots is cheaper to enter. At 150 people, Pro's $3,500 a year sits far below Workwize Basic, which comes to $20,880 a year if both its fees are monthly, our estimate. Workwize puts services inside that fee, while Dots bills them on top at rates it does not publish. Neither total is final until each vendor quotes its services in your countries.

Ease of Use

Here ease of use means one thing: how much of your fleet the platform can actually show you, and how fast.

Workwize Ease of Use

  • Plan for a project: G2's reviewer average for time to implement Workwize is 2 months.
  • Records can drift from reality: a team that evaluated Workwize told us the portal showed two monitors in stock, then heard from Workwize about the second one: "And the other one, it doesn't exist. It never existed."
  • Orders are hard to trace back: a vendor-invited reviewer writes, "There is no link between a Workwize order number and a supplier order number" (vendor-invited Capterra review).

Dots Ease of Use

  • Fast to load your fleet: an IT administrator says "We were able to onboard our existing data via a single CSV upload" (February 2026 G2 review).
  • Still maturing: a research-sector reviewer writes, "The system can be slow sometimes but it's getting better" (February 2026 G2 review). The employee self-service portal is still marked "Soon to come" on Dots' homepage.

Verdict on Ease of Use

Dots wins on the register, because it was built as one and costs nothing to try. Workwize asks for a longer setup and gives more automation in the order flow once it runs.

Customer Support

Judge support by one moment: a start date with no laptop. Ask each vendor who answers, and what that person can fix.

Workwize Support

  • Repairs come back to you: a team that evaluated Workwize told us it did not handle device repairs, so its staff had to contact Dell or Apple directly.
  • Invoices cause the most friction: another buyer said orders and invoices did not match up, and described "over 200K in overdue invoices due to not sending invoices properly".

Dots Support

  • Slack is the strongest pattern: roughly half of Dots' G2 reviews praise its responsiveness. An HR reviewer writes, "we have a joined slack channel and there is always someone to respond" (May 2024 G2 review).
  • One caveat on the record: that praise comes from the same small, positive review base described above. Dots' own site now offers "Chat with an Expert" and no longer names Slack. Tequipy also supports every customer in a shared Slack channel, so this is common ground rather than a Dots advantage.

Verdict on Support

Dots' reviewers are happier with support, though the sample is small, and mostly the same reviewers. Workwize's people are well liked, and the complaints are about what happens after the first reply: escalation and invoices.

Integrations and Security

Integration depth decides whether your HR system can trigger an order, and security terms decide whether your CISO signs off.

Workwize Integrations and Security

  • The longer list: 100+ HRIS integrations claimed, including HiBob, BambooHR, Workday, Personio, Rippling, Gusto and ADP, plus Okta, Entra ID, Jamf and Intune.
  • Automation extras need a bigger plan: Workwize keeps SCIM provisioning and its public API for Enterprise, and its MCP server, launched in June 2026, reached Enterprise customers first.
  • Two certificates: Workwize says it holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.

Dots Integrations and Security

  • A focused list: HiBob and BambooHR for HR data; Jamf, Microsoft Intune, Iru (formerly Kandji), JumpCloud and ManageEngine for devices; Okta, Entra ID, Google and OneLogin for sign-in. Custom integrations are Enterprise only.
  • Single sign-on costs a plan upgrade: SSO is not part of Pro, which one IT manager called a basic security requirement in a review quoted in our Dots pricing breakdown.
  • One certificate: Dots announced SOC 2 Type II in June 2025.

Verdict on Integrations and Security

Workwize wins on breadth and on certificates. Dots covers the common HR and MDM tools, but a security team that requires SSO is pushed to a quoted Enterprise plan. Tequipy syncs HiBob, BambooHR and Workday natively, and its zero-touch deployment works with any MDM that reads Apple Business Manager or Windows Autopilot.

Coverage, Delivery and Returns

This is where the two entry plans differ most, and where the evidence is thinnest on both sides.

Workwize Coverage

  • Regions by plan: Basic ships to three of seven regions (EU, North America, Europe outside the EU, APAC, MEA, LATAM, Other), Professional to five.
  • Speed depends on stock: the 1 to 7 working day promise applies to equipment in stock. A team that evaluated Workwize in Europe told us orders took "up to six weeks for something I personally can buy within four weeks at worst".

Dots Coverage

  • Wide claim, narrow plan: Dots says it operates in 150+ countries, with warehouses on its pricing map in Ukraine, Germany, the US, South Korea, Israel, Mexico, Brazil and Australia. Delivery runs from 24 hours where it has local presence to 8 days elsewhere.
  • New areas take work: a COO notes that "adding new service areas may require additional work" (July 2024 G2 review).
  • Returns ask more of your IT team: in one buyer evaluation we heard about, Dots expected the customer's own IT staff to wipe each laptop before pickup. The same buyer said Dots was unsure it could resell every returned device.

Verdict on Coverage

Returns are where coverage gets tested. In Capterra's 2022 offboarding survey of 287 HR workers, 71% reported at least one departing employee who never returned company equipment. Neither vendor publishes a recovery rate by country, so ask both, and compare a laptop retrieval service that runs the same way in every country.

Pro tip: map your devices before you map the plans. Export a list of every laptop you own with the country it sits in today, then add the countries where you plan to hire in the next year.

Count how many of those countries each entry plan reaches: Workwize's three regions, Dots' two geographies. Then send both vendors the same question for the rest: which plan covers them, at what price, and who wipes the device on the way back.

How to Choose a Device Lifecycle Platform

Three questions settle most of this decision before any demo.

Count Your Regions Before Your Seats

A seat price and a plan price both look small until the plan stops at a border. Start from the map: how many regions or geographies hold your people today, and how many will next year. Tequipy has one platform fee for every country it serves, so a fourth country costs the same as the first.

Decide Whether the Register or the Delivery Comes First

A buyer who tells us "We don't even know how many devices are unaccounted for" needs a register before a courier. Dots gives you the register free; Workwize gives you the courier. Tequipy's device lifecycle management software does both, free for up to 100 devices, and tracks laptops bought anywhere.

Ask Who Wipes the Laptop, and Where

Ask each vendor whether your IT team wipes the device before collection or the vendor wipes it after. Tequipy wipes at its own facility, issues a Blancco certificate on sellback and a certificate of destruction on request. Single sign-on through Google, Microsoft or Okta comes with every account.

Tequipy shared Slack channel for device requests

Alternative to Both: Tequipy

Tequipy runs the Revolut playbook as a service: source locally, enrol before the box leaves, and collect the laptop when its user leaves.

Key Features

Your MDM and HR tools stay in place; Tequipy takes over the parts that involve a box and a courier.

Local Sourcing in the Employee's Country

Orders are filled by a reseller inside the employee's country, one of more than 600 across 180+ countries, so devices never cross a border. The average delivery is three business days and the worst case is ten. Past ten business days, the laptop gets a discount.

Devices That Arrive Enrolled

Each Mac is registered in your Apple Business Manager, and each Windows laptop's hash in Autopilot, before it leaves the reseller, at no cost. The new hire turns it on and your MDM picks it up. We need only your ABM organisation ID, never admin rights to the MDM itself.

Retrieval, Storage, Redeployment and Sellback

A leaver hears from Tequipy directly, gets packaging if the original box is gone, and hands the laptop to a courier. It is wiped at a Tequipy facility and stored for $12 a month until the next hire needs it ($70 to $150 to redeploy) or you sell it back. Laptops bought from Workwize, Dots or anyone else qualify.

Tequipy Pricing

Item Price
Platform $99 a month flat at any fleet size, free for up to 100 devices
Hardware Recommended retail price, delivery included
ABM and Autopilot enrolment Free
Offboarding $70 to $150 per device
Storage $12 per device per month
Redeployment $70 to $150 per device
HRIS sync (optional) $199 a month
Tequipy pricing calculator for a workwize vs dotstech cost check

Over a year, 150 people cost $20,880 at Workwize in fees for seats and the platform (its plan table includes services), $3,500 at Dots for Pro on yearly billing, and $1,188 at Tequipy before services: $19,692 and $2,312 less. Every Workwize hire raises that bill by $96 (our estimate); ours stays a flat $99 a month at any fleet size, free for up to 100 devices. HRIS sync ($199 a month) lifts ours to $3,576, $76 above Pro billed yearly and $24 below it billed monthly ($3,600). Dots publishes no service prices. Enter your current quote to test it.

Where Tequipy Shines

  • No markup on hardware: Tequipy buys hardware below retail at volume through its reseller network and sells at retail, and it earns on hardware first and services second. That is the answer to "what's the catch".
  • One process in every country: a hire in Colombia gets the same order flow, rate card and Slack channel as a hire in London. More than 200 companies use it.
  • Proof at the end of the lifecycle: every wipe is logged, sellback devices get a Blancco certificate, and a destroyed device gets a certificate of destruction. The company is ISO 27001 certified, with a chain of custody on every pickup.

Where Tequipy Falls Short

  • Few native HRIS integrations: three today, HiBob, BambooHR and Workday. Other HR systems connect through the REST API, and our team regularly builds custom connections when asked.
  • SOC 2 is not finished yet: the audit is still in progress, so ask for an update when you book a demo. ISO 27001 certification and penetration test reports are available now.
  • No leasing or financing: every device is bought outright at retail. Teams that need hardware off the balance sheet will find Workwize's rental option a better fit.

Tequipy Customer Reviews

Four reviews sit behind Tequipy's 4.9 on G2 (October 2026), a base as small as it sounds. An enterprise reviewer in financial services, invited by G2 to write, calls the platform "a reliable source of truth" for equipment (July 2026 G2 review).

Marcin Szydłowski, Director of Enterprise Technology & Security at Booksy, says "What sets them apart is their incredible responsiveness and true global reach" (Booksy case study).

Who Tequipy Is Best For

  • Globally distributed teams: whether people sit in three countries, fifteen, or more, the order flow and prices follow one public card.
  • Teams making their first hire outside their home region: the hire that would push a Workwize Basic or Dots Pro customer onto a bigger plan is an ordinary order here.
  • Teams buying country by country today: a buyer who tells us "We're approaching local vendors in each country" can replace those vendors one country at a time.

CONCLUSION

What Will You Choose?

Workwize is the pick for a company above its seat floor whose HR system should place each order and whose staff sit inside the regions its plan covers. Dots is the pick when a free register is today's main job and shipping stays inside two geographies.

If your hiring already crosses those lines, run one order through Tequipy in the country neither plan reaches, as Booksy did when it tested us in Latin America first. To arrange that first order, contact the Tequipy team. For more vendors, see other Workwize alternatives.

FAQ

Is Dotstech the Same Company as Dots?

Yes. Dots is the company behind dotstech.com, an IT asset and logistics platform based in Tel Aviv. Its LinkedIn page now reads "Dots IT". A different product, Dots Vault at dotstech.app, is a document tool and has no link to it.

Who Wipes a Returned Laptop With Workwize and With Dots?

It differs. Workwize lists certified data wiping as part of its offboarding service. One buyer who evaluated Dots told us its own team had to wipe laptops before the courier came. Tequipy collects the laptop, wipes it at its own facility and can issue a Blancco certificate.

Is Single Sign-On Included With Workwize and Dots?

Partly. Dots includes SSO only on its quoted Enterprise plan, not on Pro. Workwize lists Okta and Entra ID among its integrations and keeps SCIM provisioning for Enterprise. Ask each vendor which plan your security team's requirement lands on.

Can Dots' Free Register Track Laptops Another Vendor Delivered?

Yes. The free plan tracks any asset for unlimited users, and reviewers describe importing existing fleets by CSV. Moving those laptops, by delivery, retrieval or storage, needs Pro or Enterprise.

Do Workwize and Dots Ship Laptops From Their Own Warehouses?

Sometimes. Workwize ships fastest from stock you have parked in one of its 14 warehouses and otherwise uses a supplier network. Dots sends equipment from its warehouses, local vendors or your own storage. Neither sources every order inside the employee's country.
