ICT procurement
Sourced at distribution pricing, registered for zero-touch enrolment before it ships, and tracked from purchase order to certified destruction. Hardware that arrives ready to work.
The unit price is the smallest number in the transaction
A laptop bought from a retailer for eighty dollars less than distribution arrives unregistered, with a consumer warranty, a consumer operating system edition and a preinstalled software load that has to be removed. Somebody spends ninety minutes fixing it, then another twenty enrolling it by hand.
Multiply by forty devices and the saving has become an expense. Do it across a three-year refresh with no standard build and you also inherit a support burden of eleven different configurations.
We buy through distribution — Dicker Data, Ingram Micro, Synnex and others — which gets commercial warranty, commercial images, and registration into Autopilot, Apple Business Manager or Android zero-touch before the box leaves the warehouse.
Purchase order to certificate of destruction
The whole asset life, in one register, ready when the auditor asks for it.
- Standard builds & specification
- Three or four role-based configurations, decided once and reused. Sized for a four-year working life, with a stated reason for every component that costs more than the cheapest option.
- Sourcing & quoting
- Quotes across multiple distributors with stock position and lead time shown alongside price. Where a component is scarce we say so before you commit to a rollout date.
- Pre-registration & staging
- Devices registered to your enrolment tenant before dispatch, asset-tagged, and optionally staged with a base image. Ship direct to a user's home and it configures itself when they sign in.
- Asset register
- Serial number, purchase date, warranty expiry, assigned user, location and lifecycle status — reconciled against what is actually enrolled, which is where most registers quietly diverge from reality.
- Warranty & RMA
- We confirm the device is still covered, lodge the claim, chase the vendor and manage the replacement. The time on hold is ours.
- Disposal & data destruction
- Certified data destruction with a certificate for your records, e-waste recycling through accredited channels, and residual value recovery where a device still has some. Any data on a device is unreadable before it leaves your premises.

Asset register — serial, warranty, user, location and lifecycle status, reconciled against what is actually enrolled for the whole life of the device.
Cost, plus a margin we tell you about
Hardware margin is where a lot of managed services revenue quietly hides. Ours is a stated percentage, visible on every quote, and it stays fixed whatever we think you might accept.
- Distributor cost shown on request for any line item on any quote. Every margin is ours to justify.
- Vendor rebates disclosed. Where a rebate exists on a product we recommend, we tell you.
- Licences at your discretion. Buy through us or direct from Microsoft — the seat price is the same either way.
- Bundled staging at no charge for clients on a managed agreement, because a device that enrols itself costs us less to support.
- Lease and DaaS options modelled honestly against outright purchase, including the total cost over the term.
- Any order size. Buying hardware through us is entirely your choice.
What people ask
Can we buy hardware ourselves?
Of course. We will give you the specification and the distributor part numbers. What we ask is that you tell us before it arrives, so it is registered for enrolment by the time it lands.
What are typical lead times?
Mainstream business laptops and desktops from local stock: three to seven working days. Configured-to-order and enterprise networking: three to six weeks. Rugged and purpose-built devices can be considerably longer, which is why we start those conversations a quarter ahead of a rollout.
Do you handle office relocations?
Yes, as a scoped project: cabling and electrical coordinated with licensed trades, network and wireless design, carrier service transfers ordered early enough to actually arrive, and a cutover plan for the weekend with a fallback if the internet service is late.
What happens to old equipment?
Collected, wiped to a recognised data destruction standard, and issued with a certificate naming each serial number. Devices with residual value are remarketed and the proceeds credited to you. Everything else goes to accredited e-waste recycling.
