Automated Offboarding
Your employee left last Friday. Their laptop is still at their house.
Add a departure to your HRIS. Workwize triggers the retrieval, handles logistics, and returns the device — ready to redeploy.
See how our customers stopped losing hardware at offboarding.
“Before Workwize, managing IT hardware for global hires was time-consuming, error-prone, and expensive. We had delays, lost equipment, and billing discrepancies across the board.”
Ben Guz
EMEA IT Manager
“The service behind the product is just as good as the product itself. For me, that was truly a win-win.”
Ana Lovsin
IT Operations Manager
Unreturned devices don't just cost money. They create compliance gaps.
Most teams only find out a device is gone, or a risk, after it's already too late.
Departed employees keep devices.
IT chases every retrieval manually.
Lost devices. Data still on them.
Every unreturned device is a write-off waiting to happen, and a data security incident that didn't have to be.
Get every device back — automatically, in 120+ countries.
Trigger a retrieval the moment an employee is marked as departed in your HRIS. Workwize handles employee communication, prepaid return logistics, tracking, and device processing — without IT lifting a finger.
- Automatically trigger retrieval workflows from your HRIS on departure.
- Send employees a prepaid return label with no manual IT coordination.
- Wipe and audit devices on return to ensure data security and compliance.
“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.

Average retrieval timeline from off-boarding to warehouse
From departure confirmed to device back in stock in 4 steps.
Step 1
Integrate with your HRIS.
- Trigger retrieval workflows the moment a departure is confirmed.
- Apply departure rules by employee type, location, or device category.
- Connect to MDM to remotely lock or wipe devices from the moment offboarding begins.
Step 2
Communicate with the departing employee automatically.
- Send branded retrieval instructions and a prepaid return label — no IT input needed.
- Remind employees automatically if return hasn't been initiated within your set window.
- Adapt retrieval methods for home offices, co-working spaces, or office locations.
Step 3
Track every return in real time.
- Monitor return shipment status across all regions from one dashboard.
- Get alerts when a return is overdue so escalation happens before a device is written off.
- Log every action in the chain of custody for audit and compliance reporting.
Step 4
Process and redeploy returned devices.
- Receive, inspect, and data-wipe devices to your security standard on return.
- Certify data erasure in line with GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 requirements.
- Refurbish, redeploy, or dispose of returned assets — all tracked in the same platform.
Workwize is at home with 80+ HRIS, MDM, IDP, and ITSM tools.
HRIS
Ensure laptops are ready on day 1. See when devices are scheduled to return after offboarding.
MDM
Track each device’s settings and compliance status with zero intervention from IT.
ITSM
Never miss a hardware request. Approve devices without leaving Slack.
Hardware ops don't stop at offboarding. Neither does Workwize.
Don't let unreturned devices become write-offs. Automate retrieval before your next departure.
