Employee Device Logistics
As workforces become distributed, device deployment and recovery becomes a major operational challenge.
Employee → Device → Deployment → Recovery. A complete loop for every device.
What is Employee Device Logistics?
Employee Device Logistics runs the joiner to leaver device loop as one system. A new start triggers a matched device, prepared and dispatched. A leaver triggers collection, inspection and a return into custody, so the asset is recorded, checked and made available again. HR and IT read the same record instead of trading tickets.
Service overview
Every joiner needs a device on day one. Every leaver's device needs to come back. Across a distributed workforce, that loop quietly consumes enormous operational effort — and leaks assets when it breaks.
Employee Device Logistics makes the loop a system: devices are identified, prepared and dispatched for joins, and recovered, inspected and tracked for exits. The device portfolio stays visible and whole.
Every service here is one discipline of Technology Asset Custody, and the programme that holds them together is MigStore Vault™.
How it works
- Employee
- Device
- Deployment
- Recovery
What’s included
- Joiner device preparation and dispatch
- Leaver device recovery programmes
- Inspection and data-safe handling on return
- Per-employee device records
- Swap, upgrade and replacement workflows
- Visibility of devices in field vs in custody
What device logisticsis not
| Common assumption | What we hold instead |
|---|---|
| Recovery on exit is an HR problem. | HR knows the last working day. Only a custody record knows what the person was holding, where it was sent and whether it ever came back. |
| Remote work removes the need for a storeroom. | It removes the room, not the inventory. Without a shelf to anchor the loop, devices leak a handful a month and nobody can say when it started. |
| An unrecovered laptop is a support ticket. | It is an owned asset with a purchase price, data on it and a warranty nobody is tracking. Recovery turns it back into available capacity. |
What changes
- 01
Day-one readiness for every joiner
- 02
Clean, tracked recoveries on exit
- 03
A device portfolio that stays whole
- 04
HR and IT aligned on one record
Who it’s for
Every engagement runs on the Technology Asset Custody lifecycle — receive, identify, secure, track, prepare, deploy, recover, optimise. See how the lifecycle works.
How an engagement starts
Four steps, in order. None of them need a system you do not already have.
- 01
Map the employee events that move a device: join, move, upgrade, exit.
- 02
Fix the day-one standard, so preparation starts before the offer letter is signed.
- 03
Give recovery a trigger and an owner, not a reminder in someone's inbox.
- 04
Decide what inspection means per device class, and what fails it.
