What happens when retrieval stops being a guessing game.
A one-stop-shop for your hardware lifecycle! We've swapped from working with three vendors across the globe to one singular place, which made it easier for our team, finance, and others to get timely updates on hardware orders, repairs, and offboarding.
Workwize helps us reduce the time we waste ordering equipment. It also allows us to remove the previously relied-on MSPs to procure assets and will enable us to move IT services entirely in-house to save money on the IT budget.
What I like best about Workwize is the centralized governance of all our IT assets globally. The platform offers full traceability which is crucial for our internal audits and ISO 27001 compliance.
Global onboarding is easier. Managing IT logistics for global hires was very hard before. Workwize solved that for us. Now our new employees are ready on day one with everything they need to work comfortably.
We are already seeing fruits of our labor, since nearly all our new assets are now ordered via Workwize and IT Team has drastically reduced time which was wasted on procuring the assets and its setup.
Retrieval shouldn't depend on follow-up emails working.

The questions teams ask before automating retrieval.
How does Workwize trigger retrieval automatically?
Workwize integrates with your HRIS to detect offboarding events in real-time. The moment an employee is marked as terminated or transitioning, retrieval workflows kick off — return orders, prepaid labels, courier scheduling, and reminders.
How does retrieval work in countries where we don't have a local presence?
Workwize's global logistics network handles retrieval in 120 countries, including markets where you don't have local vendors. We coordinate pickup, shipping, customs documentation, and warehouse routing.
Can we track retrieval performance across teams or regions?
Yes. Real-time dashboards show retrieval rates, outstanding devices, and recovery costs by team, region, device type, or time period. Export reports for finance, audit, and compliance reviews.
How does retrieval connect to the rest of the lifecycle?
Retrieval isn't a standalone workflow — it's the bridge between an employee leaving and a device's next chapter. Returned devices feed back into your inventory for redeployment, route to wipe and resale, or move to certified disposal. Every action is logged in the asset registry.
What if an employee doesn't return their device?
Automated reminder sequences run with clear deadlines. If the device still isn't returned, escalation messages route to managers and HR. Every step is documented for audit purposes, and structured escalation workflows recover most devices that manual processes would write off.
What happens to devices once they're returned?
Returned devices route automatically through the next lifecycle stage — certified data wiping, refurbishment for redeployment, or disposal through certified partners. You define the rules; Workwize handles the routing.
What about devices that can't be recovered?
Every retrieval attempt is documented with timestamps and full attribution. If a device truly can't be recovered, you have a complete audit trail showing the steps taken — useful for both compliance and insurance purposes.
Retrieval is just one thing we automate. Here's the full lifecycle.
Practical advice to help you plan, deploy, and manage devices.
