One Platform, Easy Pricing

Workwize sources devices at local retail prices — you're paying for the platform and logistics, not marked-up hardware — and customers typically report 20–40% lower overall cost versus managing vendors internally once shipping, customs, admin time, and unreturned devices are counted. If your fleet is one country and office-based, a VAR may genuinely be cheaper; distributed is where the math flips.

The best IT procurement software depends on what you're buying. For general spend and POs, suites like Coupa or SAP Ariba lead. For IT hardware specifically, look for four things: a pre-approved catalog employees can order from, approval workflows tied to spend rules, real pricing and stock (not quote-request forms), and automatic linkage of each purchase to an employee and serial number. Workwize is built around exactly that set for distributed teams — procurement plus the delivery and lifecycle tracking that generic procurement tools stop short of.

Five practices separate teams that get value from a hardware procurement tool from those that don't: (1) build a tight pre-approved catalog — three laptop tiers beat thirty options; (2) tie approvals to spend thresholds so routine orders self-approve and only exceptions escalate; (3) trigger orders from HRIS events rather than tickets; (4) consolidate billing so finance reconciles one invoice stream, not one per country; (5) insist every order lands in your asset register with a serial and owner attached. The tool matters less than whether those five loops are closed.

Yes. Employees or managers request devices from your pre-approved catalog through a self-service portal; approval rules you define (by role, spend, or team) route each request automatically — customers have cut approval turnaround by up to 95% versus manual chains, and approvals can even happen in Slack; and once approved, ordering, fulfilment, and tracking run in the same platform with consolidated invoicing. No forwarded emails, no PO spreadsheet. Book a free 30-minute demo at goworkwize.com/demo to set up a sample approval flow for your org.

Depends on the specialism. General indirect spend: Coupa, SAP Ariba, or Procurify at the lighter end. SaaS purchasing: Tropic or Vertice. Sourcing events and RFPs: Keelvar or similar. For IT hardware procurement across multiple countries, Workwize is the specialist pick — it's less a purchasing record and more an execution layer: it actually buys locally, ships, and tracks the assets afterwards. The pattern worth noticing: specialists win when the category has physical or contractual complexity that generic tools flatten out.

Yes. Device ordering runs through the software with built-in approval steps, so requests are approved in-app rather than in long email chains across HR, branch managers, and GMs. Orders proceed automatically once the required approval is given, and everything is tracked in one place. The exact approval routing is configured to your organization, so confirm the setup that fits your teams with your contact.
