Workwize

Workwize is an IT asset management and equipment logistics platform built for companies with remote, hybrid and distributed workforces. As organisations hire across countries, providing employees with laptops, monitors and other equipment becomes a complex operational challenge involving procurement from multiple suppliers, international shipping, customs, storage and the retrieval of devices when people leave. Many HR and IT teams manage this with spreadsheets and ad hoc courier arrangements, resulting in delays, lost equipment and poor visibility of costs. Workwize, based in the Netherlands, addresses this by offering a single platform through which companies can procure, deploy, manage, retrieve and dispose of IT assets across a large number of countries. Its approach combines software with a network of logistics and warehousing partners so that equipment can be delivered to employees' homes and collected again without the company handling each step itself.

Key features include a catalogue of hardware that can be purchased or rented, customisable equipment packages for different roles, and employee-facing ordering portals that simplify onboarding. Asset tracking records the location, assignment and status of each device throughout its lifecycle, while automated offboarding workflows arrange the collection of equipment, secure data wiping and redeployment, storage or environmentally responsible disposal. Integrations with HR information systems enable onboarding and offboarding to be triggered automatically, and integrations with device management tools support configuration before delivery. Reporting provides insight into inventory, spending and outstanding returns. The service is delivered as a cloud-based platform with global coverage, and it targets scale-ups, technology companies and enterprises employing remote staff internationally, as well as the HR, people operations and IT teams responsible for equipping them. It is particularly relevant where in-house logistics capacity is limited. Pricing starts from around EUR 14.50; no free trial is offered and there is no free version.
