Laptop Deployment for Every Hire, in 180+ Countries
A hire with no laptop. A device stuck at customs. IT enrolling by hand.
Tequipy buys, registers, and delivers laptops in 180+ countries through 600+ local resellers. Every device is registered to your Apple Business Manager or Autopilot before it ships and arrives in an average of 3 business days, at local retail price. Registered before it ships. Working on day one. Anywhere you hire.
Here's what changes when you consolidate laptop deployment
Delivered before the start date, not days after the hire begins
It's Thursday and someone starts Monday, in a country you've never shipped to. Across the market only 58% of devices arrive before the start date, so about 4 in 10 new hires sit idle while their laptop is still in transit. Those idle days are salary paid for waiting.
99% of deliveries land before the start date, against that 58% market standard. The laptop is sourced inside the hire's country, 3 business days on average and next-day in the UK and Europe. Even the short-notice hire starts with a working machine.
Deployed in-country, not stuck at customs for weeks
You buy centrally and courier each laptop across a border. Inside the EU that works. Everywhere else customs holds devices for weeks and adds duties nobody budgeted, so you pay for express shipping and still miss start dates. Every new country becomes a logistics experiment.
The laptop is bought inside the employee's country, so it never sits at customs and no duties land on the invoice. Delivery is included in the device price, and it takes the same 3 business days on average whether it's your first hire there or your fiftieth.
Working out of the box, not set up by hand after it lands
The laptop lands and the real work starts: IT walks the new hire through MDM enrollment over a call, or routes the device through the office first. Until that finishes, the machine holds company data with no way to lock or wipe it. That gap is what an auditor writes up.
Each laptop ships already assigned to your MDM and enrolls the moment it's first switched on. The employee opens the box and starts working on day one. No setup call, no unmanaged window, no detour through the office.
Retail price, not a $450-900 markup on every laptop you deploy
Deployment vendors charge for the service twice. The hardware carries a 25-50% markup, an extra $450-900 per laptop that buys nothing. Then a per-seat retainer of $12-20 per employee per month keeps billing through the months when nobody joins at all.
An $1,800 laptop costs $1,800, with enrollment and delivery included in the price. No retainer, and the platform is free under 100 devices. At 50 hires a year, skipping the markup alone keeps $22,500-45,000 with you. That money stays in the hardware budget.
Deployment handled for you, not a second job for your IT team
For a 1-3 person IT team, deployment becomes the job: ordering, tracking shipments, chasing couriers, coordinating returns. One IT lead put it plainly: "I'm the only IT person. If I'm on holiday, we can't hire." Device logistics crowds out security and infrastructure work.
Tequipy handles the whole job: sourcing, enrollment, delivery, and the courier chasing in between. Customers get 25-100+ hours a month back, and at volume that's a $60-80k logistics hire you never make. One customer scaled deployment across 20 countries without adding anyone.
What makes laptop deployment work on one platform
Sourced in the employee's country, in 180+ countries
Every order is fulfilled by a local authorized reseller, one of 600+ worldwide, so nothing crosses a border. No customs, no duties, and the same process whether the hire is in Berlin or Bogotá.
MDM-ready on arrival, whatever MDM you run
Tequipy registers Apple laptops to your Apple Business Manager and Windows laptops to Autopilot before shipping, so each enrolls into Jamf, Intune, Kandji, or any compatible MDM on first boot. Where auto-registration isn't available, devices are configured by hand first.
3-day average delivery, 99% before day one
Delivery averages 3 business days, 10 at the most; run past that and Tequipy discounts the device. UK and Europe can get next-day, the US two-day. 99% of laptops beat the start date; the market manages 58%.
Retail price, delivery and enrollment included
A laptop costs its recommended retail price. Delivery and ABM or Autopilot registration are built into that price, with no markup, no per-seat retainer, and a platform that's free under 100 devices.
HR deploys without IT in the loop
Equipment groups pre-define what each role gets, and employees pick from approved options in self-service. Connect HiBob, BambooHR, or Workday, and a new hire can trigger a laptop order automatically.
Returned laptops go back into the pool
After an offboarding, Tequipy collects, wipes, and stores the returned device, then redeploys it to the next hire. The full cycle, collection through redelivery, runs about $180-240, against $1,500-2,500 for buying new.
How RemoFirst went from laptops arriving late in 30 countries to 99% before day one
RemoFirst, an Employer of Record that helps companies hire in 185+ countries, scaled fast after its Series A. Laptops bought remotely arrived after start dates. Customs complicated every distant delivery, and devices left behind after offboarding in Colombia, the UK, or Kazakhstan were nearly impossible to collect.
Tequipy now handles deliveries, repairs, MDM, and retrievals across the 30 countries where RemoFirst's team lives. 99% of devices arrive before day one, every company-issued device comes back, and the team saves 25+ hours and $3,500 a month.

You're not adding another vendor to laptop deployment. You're taking the whole job off your team's plate.
The honest answer to the question every ops lead asks: deployment sort of works today, why hand it to a vendor? Because it works until you hire somewhere new, and the hours it eats never show on an invoice.
Day 1, Set up
Day 5, First hire lands ready
Day 30, Deployment stops being a project

How fast is laptop deployment with Tequipy?
Tequipy delivers laptops in an average of 3 business days worldwide, never more than 10. Next-day delivery is available in the UK and Europe, two-day in the US. Past 10 business days, Tequipy discounts the device.
What does laptop deployment cost with Tequipy?
A deployed laptop costs its recommended retail price, with delivery and MDM enrollment included. The platform is free under 100 devices, then $99 a month flat. No per-seat fees, no minimums, no setup fee.
Does Tequipy enroll laptops in our MDM before delivery?
Yes. Tequipy registers Apple laptops in your Apple Business Manager and Windows laptops in Windows Autopilot before shipment, so each device enrolls into your MDM on first boot. That covers Jamf, Intune, Kandji, Mosyle, JumpCloud, and any other compatible MDM, using your ABM org ID rather than MDM access. In the few countries where automatic registration isn't available, Tequipy configures the device by hand before shipping.
Can Tequipy deploy laptops we bought somewhere else?
Yes. Tequipy's services work on devices bought elsewhere: upload them via CSV and use offboarding, storage, servicing, and redeployment. Enrolling an already-deployed laptop into ABM retroactively means collecting it first, so it's usually done at redeployment.
Can HR run laptop deployment without IT?
Yes. Admins define equipment groups per role and employees pick from pre-approved options in self-service. With the HiBob, BambooHR, or Workday integration, activating a new hire can place the order automatically. You decide who is allowed to order.
Does Tequipy deploy laptops in hard-to-reach countries?
Yes. Tequipy deploys laptops in 180+ countries through 600+ local authorized resellers, including markets most vendors skip, like the Philippines, Colombia, Georgia, and Kazakhstan. Only Russia, Belarus, and North Korea are excluded.
What is laptop deployment?
Laptop deployment is the process of getting a configured, company-managed laptop into an employee's hands. It covers procuring the device, enrolling it in management software, shipping it, and confirming the employee can work on day one.
What is the laptop deployment process?
A laptop deployment process typically has five steps. Procure the device, register it to ABM or Autopilot, ship it, let it enroll into MDM on first boot, and track it until offboarding.
How is laptop deployment different from laptop procurement?
Laptop procurement is the buying step: choosing, sourcing, and paying for the device. Laptop deployment covers the full handover: configuring, enrolling, shipping, and confirming the laptop works for the employee. Tequipy handles both in a single order.
