IT Hardware Onboarding & Offboarding for HR Teams
Workwize triggers device provisioning the moment a hire is confirmed - and retrieval the moment someone leaves.
What Real HR teams say about Workwize
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.
Your HR Team doesn't need to follow Hardware logistics everywhere.

Workwize connects to your HRIS and turns HR events into automated hardware workflows. When someone joins, a device ships. When someone leaves, retrieval starts. No manual coordination between HR, IT, and operations.

Common questions about Workwize for HR teams
Which HRIS platforms does Workwize integrate with?
Workwize integrates natively with 100+ HRIS platforms — including Workday, BambooHR, HiBob, Personio, Rippling, and others. When an employee record is created or updated, Workwize triggers the relevant hardware workflow automatically. Setup typically takes under a day.
What does the employee experience look like on day one?
The employee receives a pre-configured device - enrolled in MDM, with their apps and security policies already applied. They open the box and start working. HR and IT don't need to be involved.
Can Workwize get the specific models and accessories we want?
Workwize offers most major brands and models through our catalog, depending on regional availability. For accessories and other items, we have 40+ categories of products available. If something you need isn't listed, your Workwize contact can often find a local source for it.
Do device standards vary by role or location?
Yes. Workwize lets you configure role-based or location-based device kits. When HR triggers provisioning for a specific role, the correct device spec, accessories, and configuration are applied automatically - no manual selection needed.
How does Workwize handle short-term contractors or temporary staff?
Workwize supports temporary assignments and fixed-term deployments. You can set return triggers based on contract end dates, and the retrieval workflow runs the same way as for permanent employees.
What if we hire in a country Workwize doesn't cover?
Workwize operates in 120 countries with owned warehouses in 14+ markets. For countries outside our warehouse footprint, we source from local vendors and still target 2–3 business day delivery. If you have a specific market in mind, we'll confirm coverage in your demo.
What happens when an employee leaves?
When a departure is triggered in your HRIS, Workwize automatically initiates the retrieval workflow: employee communication, prepaid return label, return tracking, and device processing for redeployment or disposal. HR doesn't own the follow-up - the platform does.
What if an employee doesn't return their device?
Workwize's retrieval automation significantly reduces non-returns. If a device isn't returned after automated follow-up, your Workwize customer success contact can escalate with local logistics coordination. We recover devices across 120 countries.
Does HR need to be involved in the hardware process at all?
After initial setup, HR's involvement is limited to what already happens in the HRIS: hiring and offboarding employees. Workwize reads those events and handles everything hardware-related automatically.
