Global Laptop Procurement, a Working Machine on Day One
The hire starts Monday. The laptop's in a warehouse. Systems locked. Again.
Tequipy handles global laptop procurement in 180+ countries: the exact machine each hire needs, sourced locally through 600+ resellers, MDM-enrolled, and delivered in an average of 3 days. Retail price, no customs, no contracts. One platform, one invoice.
Here's what changes when you run global laptop procurement on one platform
A working laptop on day one, not one stuck in customs after the start date
The hire starts Monday. The laptop you ordered three weeks ago is stuck between a warehouse and a customs desk, with duties no one budgeted for. So the hire spends week one on a personal laptop, locked out of half your systems, while you send another apology.
Every laptop is sourced inside the new hire's country and delivered in about 3 business days, so it never crosses a border or waits in customs. They open a configured, MDM-enrolled machine on day one, in any of 180+ countries.
Retail price per laptop, not a $2,600 quote for an $1,800 machine
"Prices are all over the place." The same MacBook is marked up 25 to 50% by whoever you found locally, so a machine that lists at $1,800 is quoted at $2,600. At 50 hires a year, that gap is around $40,000 handed over for nothing.
Manufacturer's recommended retail price in every country, the same as the local Apple Store. A $1,800 laptop costs $1,800, whether the hire is in Berlin or Manila. One catalogue, no negotiation per market.
The exact spec in every country, not whatever's in local stock
Your engineers need 32GB machines and your designers need specific GPUs, but the local reseller only stocks the base model. So the hire waits, or starts on the wrong machine and asks for a swap a month in.
The engineer starts on the 32GB machine they actually need, and the designer on the GPU they asked for, not a base-spec loaner swapped out a month later. No waiting, and no lost ramp-up time.
A Slack answer in hours, not a ticket that sits for a week
A laptop is late or dead on arrival, and the vendor's only channel is a ticket queue. You file it, wait days for a first reply, and keep chasing it while the new hire sits idle.
You ask in a shared Slack channel and get an answer in hours, from a team that already knows your account. Problems get sorted the same day, not after a week of back-and-forth in a ticket system.
Bogotá covered like London, not a market every vendor skips
A hire in Colombia or the Philippines is waiting because the vendors you called don't cover the region. "Nobody covers that region, we've checked." Or they quote double the price and a six-week wait, so a laptop that should take days takes over a month.
The hire in Bogotá or Manila gets a laptop as fast, and as fairly priced, as one in London, through resellers already on the ground. No region is left as the exception.
Pay only for the laptops you order, not a monthly fee on every one you own
The vendor wants an annual commitment or a per-seat fee before the first laptop ships. At $12 to $20 per seat a month, that is $60,000 to $120,000 a year for 500 people, paid whether you hire this month or not.
You stop paying for capacity you don't use. Cash goes out only when a laptop actually ships, so a slow hiring month costs nothing. Retrieval, reuse, and resale are there when you want them, billed per use.
What makes global laptop procurement work on one platform
Local sourcing in 180+ countries
Each laptop is bought from an authorized reseller inside the employee's own country, one of 600+ across 180+ markets. Nothing crosses a border, so no customs holds and no duties. The same standard in Warsaw, Nairobi, or Lima.
The exact laptop each role needs
MacBook, ThinkPad, Latitude, or a custom high-spec build for engineers and designers. Around 300 items are ready to order; a model that isn't listed is added in 24 to 48 hours, and custom builds are made to order in about 2 to 3 weeks.
Recommended retail price, no markup
Manufacturer's recommended retail price applies in every country, with delivery and MDM enrollment built in. A laptop listed at $1,800 is invoiced at $1,800, on one machine or fifty, with no markup and no minimum.
3-day average global delivery
Most laptops land within 3 business days, and 10 at the most, anywhere in the world. The UK and Europe get next-day, the US two-day. 99% arrive before the start date, against a 58% market standard.
The full laptop lifecycle
Buy, deploy, repair, offboard, store, redeploy, and sell back, all from one dashboard, including laptops bought before Tequipy. 100% of devices are recovered after offboarding, against a 71% market standard.
Pay-as-you-go, no retainer
You pay for the laptops you order and the services you use, nothing else. No per-device monthly fee and no minimum. The platform stays free under 100 devices, then a flat $99 a month.
How RemoFirst got laptops to new hires before day one, in 30 countries
RemoFirst, an employer-of-record platform operating in 185+ countries, was growing fast after its Series A, and laptops kept arriving after employees' start dates. Shipping to distant regions ran into customs, and new hires were starting on whatever they could find.
RemoFirst moved laptop procurement and the full lifecycle onto Tequipy, with machines sourced locally in each hire's country. Delivery now hits 99% before the start date (vs 58% market standard), and device recovery is 100% (vs 71%). The team also saved around 25 hours a month, with roughly $2,000 per employee in prevented losses.

What is global laptop procurement?
Global laptop procurement is sourcing, configuring, and delivering laptops to employees across multiple countries through one process, rather than buying through a separate vendor in each market.
How do you procure laptops for international employees?
You select the model and spec, and a provider sources it inside each employee's country, configures it for MDM, and delivers it. Tequipy does this across 180+ countries at retail price.
What's the best way to buy laptops for a distributed team?
The best way to buy laptops for a distributed team is one platform that sources locally in each country. Machines then arrive fast, at consistent pricing, and MDM-ready, with no customs delays and no separate vendor in every market.
