The ideal journey

Seven layers that automate your hardware lifecycle, one at a time.

The goal: your team should barely open the portal.

The layers

Build toward zero-touch deployment.

Reduce manual work across the lifecycle, step by step.

Catalogue

Pre-built kits by role. No spec-picking from scratch on every hire.

choosing specs manuallyone click per role
Why it pays off

Time saved on every hire, and it's the foundation that makes automation easier down the line.

Buy & Hold

Buy your recurring models in advance: we hold the stock, with free storage and delivery. Volume also locks in a better unit price.

one-off orders & stockoutsdevice reaches the hire date in time
Why it pays off

The device is already there: no wait, no risk of running out. And the price per unit drops when you buy in volume.

Scheduling Form

We contact the employee for delivery and availability preferences, all done in under a minute.

email / WhatsApp back-and-forthzero-touch on your side
Why it pays off

We handle the entire info-gathering process, so your team never has to chase anyone down. A dashboard shows the status of every form, lets you customize reminders, or fill one in yourself if someone doesn't respond.

Pre-approved Pricing

Set a price range once, per country. Any order within budget is automatically approved.

a quote + approval cycle per orderauto-approved within the range
Why it pays off

No approval delay on routine orders, and Finance keeps control by setting the ceiling once.

Replenish

Set a minimum-stock threshold based on your hiring. Below it, we top up automatically.

watching stock & reorderingyou never run out
Why it pays off

It's the engine that keeps "we have stock" the normal case, so most onboardings ship straight from the warehouse.

HRIS Integration

Off-the-shelf HRIS integration. Names, roles, emails, locations and statuses show up within quipteams portal.

re-typing employee detailsauto-filled, always accurate
Why it pays off

We notify you when someone is starting or leaving soon and no request exists yet, and quotes fill in address, phone and details straight from your HRIS.

END GOAL

API Integrations

Connect quipteams to your source of truth (HRIS, Okta, Jira and others) so someone joining or leaving triggers the whole flow automatically. You can also pull any data you need via webhooks.

Why it pays off

With every layer above in place, the API ties it all together and you barely open the portal. Read the API docs →

The process, end to end

The same new-hire request, run two ways

Manually, or automated. The more layers you add, the less your team needs to manage.

Stock also replenishes automatically in the background, so no one has to watch the numbers.
The only human touchpoint left: when a quote falls outside approved pricing, it routes to a person for sign-off. Everything else runs automatically.

↩ The same flow runs in reverse for offboarding: we trigger the retrieval and coordinate the pickup.

The real value isn't the hardware. It's the time your team gets back.
