Enterprise Mobile Device Procurement

ConnectUs provides enterprise mobile device procurement for IT and operations teams, with brand new and certified preowned options. Combine device sourcing with MDM enrollment, staging, kitting and logistics. Plan the purchase around your applications, workforce and rollout requirements, then carry the same program through repair, refresh and buyback.

Start with the work the device must support

A useful procurement brief connects the hardware purchase to the job it needs to do. Document your applications, operating system requirements, connectivity, accessories and working environment. Include how devices will be assigned, enrolled, delivered and supported.

For warehouse workflows, consider handheld computers alongside barcode scanners and rugged tablets. For field teams, capture how devices will be used on the job and how replacements will be handled. Keep the requirements consistent when comparing models or suppliers.

Compare brand new and certified preowned options

ConnectUs supports both brand new and certified preowned devices. Compare the proposed models against the same application, condition, configuration and service requirements. Ask for the specific warranty, availability and enrollment eligibility to be documented in the quote.

ConnectUs reports average savings of $150 per certified preowned device across its offering. That companywide average is not a guaranteed saving for a particular model, device category or order. Use the actual quoted difference for your purchasing decision.

Connect purchasing with deployment

Device procurement is one part of the rollout. ConnectUs also provides MDM enrollment, staging, kitting and logistics. Define the configuration and delivery requirements before ordering so the purchasing and deployment teams are working from the same scope.

ConnectUs supports 20+ MDM platforms, including Microsoft Intune, Samsung Knox, IBM MaaS360 and Scalefusion. Confirm the workflow for the selected device and your organization before procurement. No enrollment route is assumed to apply to every brand new or certified preowned device.

Plan for acquisitions, growth and peak demand

Include new locations, acquired teams and seasonal workforce requirements in the purchasing plan. Separate the immediate rollout from later additions, replacements and refreshes. Record where devices should arrive and which approvals need to happen first.

ConnectUs works with over 300 technology OEM partners and has 120,000+ devices in stock across its inventory. These companywide figures do not confirm availability for a specific SKU or quantity. Confirm the model, condition, quantity and fulfillment schedule in your quote.

Procurement questions

Can procurement include staging and delivery?

Yes. ConnectUs provides procurement, MDM enrollment, staging, kitting and logistics. The quote should identify which activities are included and who owns each approval.

Does the inventory total guarantee my model is in stock?

No. The 120,000+ figure describes companywide inventory across devices. Confirm availability for the model, condition and quantity you need.

Does the shipping total apply to my industry?

ConnectUs has shipped 3M+ devices collectively across all industries and device categories. It is not a count for a single vertical or product category.

What happens at refresh?

ConnectUs provides refresh, IT asset disposition and buyback services. Include the existing fleet and required recovery process in the scope; any valuation or data handling requirements must be confirmed for the project.
