Laptop retrieval: the box program
Solution Guides
Securely pack, ship, store, and retrieve individual IT assets.
Our Laptop Retrieval service offers a secure and convenient way to collect, ship, and retrieve individual laptops from employee homes or distributed workplaces — all managed through a central portal. We streamline the process by partnering with UPS, ensuring efficient and reliable delivery.
Automate retrieval requests
With an online portal (with API integration available), boxes can be shipped real- time to an individuals’ home address or business address.
Support scale
It’s equally as easy to ship one box to one person as it is to ship to hundreds of boxes to hundreds of people at different addresses.
Fit-for-purpose packaging
Select the box type that is necessary (i.e. laptop box, monitor box, cell phone box, etc.) and all packaging materials and a self-addressed label will also be provided.
Full visibility and tracking
Full visibility with real-time tracking that supports compliance and regulatory requirements.
