Stop explaining IT Cost overruns. Manage where every dollar goes.
Workwize gives you powerful technology expense management tools, pricing, centralized vendor management, and full visibility into every dollar spent.
These teams stopped losing money by using our IT cost management tools
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.

FAQ on cost control, setup, and what changes day to day.
How does Workwize help control hardware costs?
Workwize centralizes procurement, standardizes vendors, and tracks every cost across the lifecycle. You source devices at local retail prices. This gives you full visibility and control.
What is the average IT cost per employee?
It varies enormously by industry and how you count. Commonly cited benchmarks put total IT spend anywhere from roughly $2,000 to well over $10,000 per employee per year — tech and financial services at the high end, with software, cloud, and staff usually the biggest lines. The hardware slice is more predictable: a business laptop plus peripherals typically amortizes to a few hundred dollars per employee per year over a 3–4 year refresh cycle, before logistics, repairs, and losses. The bigger issue for most finance teams isn't the benchmark — it's that they can't see their own number per employee. That visibility is what platforms like Workwize provide.
How does Workwize help us understand and forecast our IT hardware cost per employee before we commit?
Yes — before you commit, we'll model it with you. A Workwize demo or pilot can build a cost picture from your actual inputs: headcount and hiring plan, countries, device standards, and refresh cycle — producing a projected hardware cost per employee plus what changes under Workwize (local retail pricing, redeployment of returned stock, resale recovery at end of life). Customers typically report 20–40% lower total cost versus managing hardware vendors internally, and hardware spend reduced by up to 30%.

Can we export data for financial reporting and audits?
Yes. All hardware, cost, and lifecycle data can be exported in structured formats for audits, finance reviews, or internal reporting.
Every device action is logged automatically, so you always have a complete, reliable record.
How much involvement is needed from finance during setup?
Minimal. Policies and budgets are defined upfront. Workwize handles execution and tracking.
do you provide finance and it asset management?
Yes — the two are deliberately joined. Workwize gives finance teams the money view of the same asset registry IT works from: consolidated invoicing across all countries instead of per-vendor, per-region bills; hardware cost and utilization per employee and per team; visibility into idle stock that can be redeployed instead of repurchased; and recovered value at end of life through resale, credited back rather than lost. Because finance and IT are looking at one dataset, the classic gap between the fixed-asset ledger and physical reality stops accumulating.
Does Finance and IT tracking usually go together?
Increasingly yes, because a laptop is two records at once: an operational asset for IT and a line on the balance sheet for finance. When the two are tracked separately, the gap fills with ghost assets — devices still being depreciated that physically vanished years ago — and with procurement spend nobody can allocate. The pattern that works is one shared asset register feeding both views: IT sees status and location, finance sees cost, book value, and utilization, and both are describing the same physical reality.
Can we choose between leasing and buying devices, and how does each affect our cash flow?
Workwize's current model is purchase-based: you buy devices (via capex or your own financing) and pay for logistics and storage as you go. Device rental and leasing isn't offered to new clients at this time, though it's an area being developed, so the practical choice today is buy-and-manage with predictable per-movement and per-month storage costs rather than a lease line. Buying concentrates spend upfront but avoids ongoing rental fees, while pay-as-you-go logistics keeps operational cost variable. Workwize isn't a financial advisor, so confirm cash-flow treatment with your finance team, and ask your contact about leasing timelines if that's a requirement.
