Laptop Procurement That Lands on Day One, Wherever You Hire
Bought off Amazon. Marked up by a vendor. Set up by hand when it shows up.
Tequipy turns laptop procurement into one process: the right machine for each hire at recommended retail price, MDM-enrolled, delivered in an average of 3 days, across 180+ countries. No markup, no retainer, no contract, whether you buy ad hoc today or you are leaving a marked-up vendor.
Here's what changes when you move laptop procurement onto one platform
Every laptop through one process, not a patchwork of Amazon orders and reimbursements
Laptop buying is ad hoc: an Amazon order for one hire, a reimbursement for another, a rushed local purchase for the urgent ones. "It's extremely time consuming." There is no record of who has what or what it cost, and every onboarding starts from zero.
You stop reinventing the buy every time. Every laptop is ordered the same way, tracked to the person, on one invoice, for hire number five or hire number fifty. Onboarding no longer stalls on where to get a machine.
Retail price per laptop, not a 25-50% markup you can't see
A local reseller or a managed vendor folds the markup into the quote, 25 to 50% on top. A laptop that lists at $1,800 lands on the invoice at $2,600, and you would never know. At 50 hires a year, that gap is around $40,000 gone.
You pay the manufacturer's price and nothing on top, so the roughly $800 you were losing per machine stays in budget. A $1,800 laptop is $1,800, in Berlin or Manila.
Pay per laptop, not a monthly retainer and a year locked in
Your current platform charges a fee for every laptop in the fleet each month, busy or quiet, and you signed a year to get it. At $12 to $20 per device a month, a 200-laptop fleet is $29,000 to $48,000 a year, whether you order anything or not.
You pay for a laptop when you order it, nothing in the quiet months, and you are never locked into a year. Start with one and stop whenever, with no contract to serve out.
The 32GB machine your engineer needs, not the base model in stock
Your engineers need 32GB and your designers a specific GPU. But the reseller in that country only stocks the base model, so the hire waits, or settles and asks for a swap weeks later.
The engineer starts on the 32GB machine they need and the designer on the right GPU, in any country, not a base-spec stand-in handed back a month later. No waiting, and no swap.
MDM-ready on arrival, not a laptop to set up by hand
The laptop turns up unconfigured, so the new hire loses day one while IT sets it up by hand and walks them through enrollment. Until that's done, the company laptop has no MDM on it, exactly the gap a SOC 2 or ISO review flags.
The hire opens a laptop that is already set up and managed from first boot. No day-one setup call, and no window where a company machine holds data with nothing securing it.
A team on Slack that knows your account, not a ticket queue and a new agent each time
A laptop arrives dead or never shows, so you open a ticket and re-explain the whole story to whoever picks it up. Days pass between replies, and the new hire goes a week with no working machine while you keep chasing.
You message a shared Slack channel and a team that already knows your setup answers in hours. The order gets sorted the same day, with no re-explaining it to a queue.
What makes laptop procurement work on one platform
Recommended retail price, no markup
The manufacturer's RRP applies everywhere, the same price as the local Apple Store. A laptop listed at $1,800 is invoiced at $1,800, delivery and MDM enrollment included, with no markup and no volume minimum.
3-day average global delivery
A laptop typically arrives within 3 business days, and 10 at the most. The UK and Europe are next-day, the US two-day. Because it is sourced in-country, nothing sits at customs.
MDM-enrolled on arrival
Each laptop ships configured and enrolled in your MDM through ABM or Autopilot. The hire powers on a ready machine, with no setup or manual enrollment on your side.
The exact laptop each role needs
Pick the machine the role calls for, a MacBook, a ThinkPad, a Latitude, or a built-to-spec workstation. Roughly 300 models are ready to order, anything missing is listed within 24 to 48 hours, and bespoke builds take about 2 to 3 weeks.
Local sourcing in 180+ countries
Every laptop comes from an authorized reseller in the employee's own country, one of a network of 600+. Nothing ships across a border, so there are no customs or duties, and adding a market doesn't change the process.
Pay-as-you-go, no retainer
Pay for the laptops you order and the services you use. No monthly per-device fee, no minimum, no contract. Free under 100 devices, then $99 a month flat.
How Gigs fixed laptop buying for 20 countries without hiring for it
Gigs, the API platform for phone plans, was hiring fast across the US, Europe, and the UK, and getting a laptop to each new hire had become slow and unreliable. As a lean team, they did not want to add a role just to manage it.
Gigs moved laptop procurement and the full lifecycle to Tequipy: configured machines delivered to homes on tight deadlines, with a Slack channel for the odd case. They covered 20 countries with no new headcount, saved 100+ hours a month, and about $16,000 in costs.

You're not adding a laptop vendor. You're retiring the Amazon tab and the marked-up invoice.
The honest answer, whether you buy ad hoc or you're on a vendor today: you don't bolt Tequipy on. You move laptop buying onto it and drop what you were doing.

Have more questions about laptop procurement?
What does it cost to procure laptops through Tequipy?
Laptops are billed at recommended retail price, the figure you would see at the local Apple Store, with delivery and MDM enrollment in that price. The platform is free below 100 devices, then $99 a month flat, with no markup or per-seat charge.
Why choose Tequipy over a typical laptop vendor?
Tequipy adds no hardware markup, where most vendors add 25 to 50%, and bills pay-as-you-go rather than a monthly retainer. It answers in a shared Slack channel instead of a ticket queue, and asks for no contract.
Which laptops can I order, and can you match specific specs?
Tequipy sources all the major brands, Apple, Lenovo, HP, and Dell, plus built-to-spec machines for engineers and designers. Missing models are added to the catalogue within 24 to 48 hours, and bespoke configurations are made to order in roughly 2 to 3 weeks.
How fast can Tequipy get a laptop to a new hire?
Tequipy delivers a laptop in three business days on average, ten at the most, with next-day across the UK and Europe and two-day in the US. 99% of laptops arrive before the start date, against a 58% market standard.
Can we keep buying some laptops ourselves while using Tequipy?
Yes. Tequipy works on laptops bought elsewhere and runs alongside your current vendors, so you can move over gradually. No contract and no rip-and-replace to get started.
What is laptop procurement?
Laptop procurement is how a company sources, configures, and delivers the laptops it issues to employees, ideally through one process rather than ad-hoc orders or a separate vendor per country.
How do you procure laptops for a remote team?
Choose the model and configuration, and the laptop is sourced locally in each employee's country, set up for MDM, and delivered. Tequipy runs this across 180+ countries at retail price.
How can you reduce laptop procurement costs?
Mostly by removing the markup: buy at recommended retail price instead of a vendor's 25 to 50% premium, skip the monthly retainer, and reuse machines through redeployment rather than buying new.
