How quipteams helps HR
quipteams has been essential from day one, helping CookUnity grow from 30 to 500+ employees without missing a single onboarding deadline.
End-to-end onboarding logistics
quipteams owns the entire device workflow—from order to doorstep—so every new hire in Argentina, Perú, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, or Mexico receives a fully configured laptop before Day 1. HR no longer tracks couriers, chases invoices, or worries about customs delays.
Consistent first-day experience
A ready-to-use device signals professionalism and belonging. This also has a positive impact on talent retention and satisfaction.
“There are no second chances at a first impression. New hires' experience is crucial to us” - People Ops Lead, Delfina D.
Smooth offboarding & redeployment
When employees leave, quipteams schedules pickup, performs a certified wipe, stores the device, and flags it for reassignment. HR keeps headcount costs down because the next hire can use an existing asset instead of buying new.
Real-time asset visibility
Our platform shows who has which model, when it shipped, and when it’s due for refresh—critical for workforce planning and audit trails. Maintains real-time asset records (who has what, where, and when it’s due for refresh) to enable fast, cost-free reassign.
Instant communication
Everything happens in a dedicated Slack channel. HR & IT can approve quotes, request retrievals, or check stock in minutes, not days.
How are we adding value to IT?
After meetings with the IT team and quipteams, we determined that, due to security, team size, and distribution needs, it was necessary to enroll devices in ABM. The process was standardized without causing any additional delays.
Zero-touch deployment
Laptops ship pre-enrolled in Apple Business Manager or the company’s MDM of choice. Users open the lid, sign in once, and are fully compliant.
No on-site inventory
Devices sit in quipteams’ warehouses, eliminating loss, damage, and office storage costs. IT will never “babysit” hardware again.
Structured buy-back program
Machines that reach their three-year mark will go straight into quipteams’ resale channel. CookUnity recaptures value and avoids closets full of tech fossils.
Trusted support
"quipteams has saved us time, money & frustration dealing with logistics in Latin America. Not only are they highly responsive but also offer fair prices.
They have made our onboardings dependable and made retrieval & storage very easy to manage. Please use them if you get the chance." - IT Manager, Johann A.
So, what's next?
Rippling integration (HRIS)
quipteams will sync with CookUnity’s HRIS so a new-hire record automatically queues a laptop order and a departing employee triggers a retrieval. This integration will allow for each new employee’s data (role, shipping address, hardware requirements) to be updated automatically to streamline orders and returns.
