Apple Zero Touch Deployment for Your Mac Fleet, Anywhere
Automatic in one country. Set up by hand in the next. No consistent standard.
Tequipy sources Macs from authorized resellers in 180+ countries and adds every one to your Apple Business Manager before it ships. On first boot it enrolls into your Jamf, Kandji, Mosyle, or Intune, managed before the employee signs in. Retail price, ABM registration included.
Here's what changes when you consolidate Apple zero touch deployment
Bought from an authorized reseller, not a shop your ABM can't see
Apple adds a Mac to your ABM automatically only when it's bought from Apple or an authorized reseller. The MacBook HR grabbed at a local shop for an urgent hire never appears there, so IT sets it up by hand. One purchase outside the channel breaks the flow.
Every Mac is bought from an Apple-authorized reseller, so it goes into your Apple Business Manager before it ships. Wherever the order lands, the device shows up in your ABM first, and the urgent local purchase stops undoing your zero-touch setup.
In your ABM before shipping, not enrolled by hand after delivery
When a Mac reaches the employee without an ABM assignment, someone enrolls it manually: a call with the new hire, or a detour through the office. Until that's done, a laptop with company access carries no MDM profile, and an open window like that gets flagged in every audit.
The Mac arrives already assigned to your ABM, so it's supervised and managed the first time it's switched on. No enrollment call with the new hire, no detour through the office, and no unmanaged window for a security review to flag.
Zero-touch in 180+ countries, not only where you have a reseller
Enrollment runs itself in the countries where you have an authorized channel. Then someone joins in Colombia or Kazakhstan, no reseller relationship exists there, and the choice is a gray-market Mac that can't auto-enroll or weeks of cross-border shipping and customs.
The Mac for a hire in Bogotá or Almaty is bought in-country and added to your ABM. Delivery averages 3 business days globally, 10 maximum anywhere. The hire starts on day one instead of waiting on customs. Where Apple's automatic assignment doesn't reach, the Mac is set up manually before it ships.
Retail price with ABM included, not a $450-900 markup per Mac
A MacBook at retail is $1,800. Through a typical deployment vendor it's $2,250-2,700 after a 25-50% markup, and a per-seat fee often follows, $12-20 per employee per month whether anyone was hired that month or not.
The Mac costs its retail price and the ABM registration is included, along with delivery. No per-seat fee, no retainer, and the platform is free under 100 devices. AppleCare can be added in any country where Apple offers it.
What makes Apple zero touch deployment work on one platform
Added to your Apple Business Manager before it ships
Every Mac, iPhone, and iPad is registered to your ABM through Apple's Automated Device Enrollment before it leaves the reseller. On first boot the device pulls your MDM profile, supervised and manageable from the first minute.
Works with any ABM-compatible MDM
Jamf, Kandji, Mosyle, Intune, Hexnode, JumpCloud: if it supports Apple Business Manager, the flow works. Tequipy needs your ABM organization ID and never direct access to your MDM. Ship a mixed fleet? Windows devices get the same treatment through Autopilot.
Apple zero-touch in 180+ countries
Macs are sourced from authorized resellers in the hire's own country and delivered in 3 business days on average. Where automatic ABM assignment isn't supported, the Mac is configured manually before it ships, so it still arrives ready.
Retail price, with registration and delivery included
You pay the recommended retail price for the Mac. ABM assignment and delivery are included, with no markup and no per-seat retainer, and the platform is free under 100 devices. AppleCare can be added in any country where Apple offers it.
How TapTap Send put every Apple device into Jamf on first boot
TapTap Send, a payments company with 250+ employees, had no standardized MDM enrollment across three separate purchasing processes. Macs arrived unconfigured, and getting each one into Jamf was a hands-on step after delivery that slowed every onboarding.
On Tequipy, every Apple device is registered in TapTap Send's ABM at purchase and enrolls in Jamf the moment it's switched on. Offboarding takes three clicks. The change saved 40+ hours and $6,500 a month, with 99% of devices delivered before the start date (market standard: 58%).

You're not switching MDMs. You're getting every Mac into the one you have, in every country.
Mac admins ask us one thing first: we already run ABM and Jamf, so what's left? The registration step. Getting every Mac, from every order in every country, into your ABM before it reaches the employee. That's the part Tequipy does.

Have more questions about Apple zero touch deployment?
How does Tequipy run Apple zero touch deployment for my Macs?
Every Mac is purchased from an authorized reseller, which makes it eligible for your Apple Business Manager, and Tequipy completes that ADE registration before shipment. The employee unboxes the Mac, connects to Wi-Fi, and the MDM profile installs itself.
Which MDMs work with Tequipy's Apple zero touch deployment?
Any MDM that supports Apple Business Manager: Jamf Pro and Jamf Now, Kandji, Mosyle, Microsoft Intune, Hexnode, JumpCloud, and others. Tequipy works through ABM, so it needs your organization ID and never a login to your MDM.
Which countries does Apple zero touch deployment cover?
In most of the 180+ countries Tequipy covers, Macs are assigned to ABM automatically at purchase. A handful of markets lack Apple support for that, so Tequipy preps those Macs by hand before dispatch. Ask for the per-country coverage list.
Does it cover iPhones and iPads too?
Yes. Automated Device Enrollment covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Tequipy registers any of them to your Apple Business Manager at purchase, and each enrolls into your MDM on first boot.
What does the ABM registration cost?
Nothing on top of the device. Automatic ABM assignment is included with every Mac at recommended retail price. Manual pre-configuration, needed where automatic assignment isn't available or for custom software setup, is priced case by case.
Can Tequipy add our existing Macs to ABM?
Yes, retroactively: the Mac is collected, enrolled, and returned, which takes several days. Most companies fold that into an offboarding and redeployment cycle rather than pulling machines from active users.
What is Apple zero touch deployment?
Apple zero touch deployment is a rollout method where a new Mac, iPhone, or iPad configures itself on first boot. The device is registered to the company's Apple Business Manager at purchase and enrolls into the company's MDM automatically, with no manual setup by IT or the employee.
How does Apple zero touch deployment work?
It rests on Automated Device Enrollment, formerly the Device Enrollment Program. A device bought from Apple, an authorized reseller, or an authorized carrier is assigned to the company's ABM. On first boot it contacts Apple, finds its assignment, and pulls the MDM profile with the company's settings and apps.
What is the difference between DEP, ADE, and Apple Business Manager?
Apple Business Manager is the portal where a company manages its devices and apps. Automated Device Enrollment, the current name for the Device Enrollment Program, is the mechanism inside it that assigns devices to an MDM. Apple zero touch deployment is the outcome the two enable.
